Saw this exchange this morning and it just expresses really well how I’m feeling these days.

”It is possible for folks to be both relieved/excited about having better political choices AND maintain a strong critique of those choices. I promise that every time someone expresses a positive feeling about something it doesn’t mean their analysis has gone out the window.”

I seriously want this fact pinned infront of some peoples eyes. Joy and excitment about potentially good things happening doesn't mean you can't be angry and want other things to change, in fact the joy often fuels it

“Indeed, hope is an affective crux of every progressive social movement in history and works in tandem with anger really, really well! They are friends in change. Just being angry and only angry is not conducive to community building or collective action!”

... You know, this is one of those times I am glad this board has it set so that all responses by someone you have on Ignore are simply not shown unless you choose to show all ignored responses on a given page.

Just put it on ignore and let it spew into the Void.

“The only thing more shocking than the allegation that a US president took a $10 million bribe from a foreign dictator is that said bribee held a TV news conference and not a single journalist asked about it”

Trump said he ‘went down’ in helicopter ‘emergency landing’ with former San Francisco mayor, who says it never happened

“This was not a pleasant landing, and Willie was, he was a little concerned. So I know him, I know him pretty well. I mean, I haven’t seen him in years,” Trump continued.

Brown, however, rejected Trump’s account as “obviously wrong” during a phone call later Thursday with CNN, saying: “I’ve never been in a helicopter with him in my life.”

Can’t imbed the video, but it’s MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell talking about how it’s 2016 all over again when it comes to mainstream media.

Please watch.

Joe was a lot more subdued today than he's been in the past. It conveyed a tone of deadly seriousness to his message, I think.

I have become sensitive to any media spin that, frankly, contradicts my view. Yes, I'm biased as hell. I've tried to be keenly aware of that when forming opinions, but the bottom line is that every time I have considered hearing out the MAGA crowd, I'm too stunned with their utter stupidity and hypocrisy. There is no "both sides", Media guys. There is Democracy and Justice, and there is the other side. They are NOT the same and what you have generally done is jeopardize this Republic of ours - not because of malice so much as due to lackadaisical and phony "fairness" without regard to obvious outcomes like fascism.

Benjamin Franklin's response to Elizabeth Willing Powel's question: "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"

A: "A Republic if you can keep it." I would only add, "And media stays out of the way."

Time for more strange delusional Trump stuff... Donald Trump comparing his audience size with Martin Luther King, telling his was bigger at the same place. King's daughter is royally pissed about that statement. Of course also wrong, MLK had 4x the audience Trump had.


Trump not knowing the name of his doctor who served him 4 years in the White House, calling him Johnson instead of Jackson.


Magnets go broke when you putwater on them.


Trump talking about old light bulbs, dish washers, toilets and showers (4 years old).


Trump ranting about water-saving showers.


Trump about his stunning side career as "how do you put your pants on" advisor.

Trump ranting about Abraham Lincoln, telling the civil war didn't have to happen if Lincoln would have negotiated that.

Trump ranting about the battle of Gettysburg and nothing that Robert E. Lee is "no longer in favor."
