Barbara Lee tweets: “By putting Gen John Kelly in charge, Pres Trump is militarizing the White House & putting our executive branch in the hands of an extremist.”

Trump is now openly attempting to establish a police state in this country.

How many times can you mention the word “cock” in one conversation?

Let’s heart if it for the disabled who put their bodies on the line protesting the shameful act of sadism and genocide attempted by the GOP.

Make it clear to the GOP that until it stops sabotaging Obamacare, there will be no bipartisan cooperation on health care.

What went wrong in Obama’s psyche? Confronted with Mitch McConnell, mortal enemy not only of Obama but of the American people, why could the ex-President only enable and capitulate to him over and over again? Why did Obama not realize what was at stake?

For forty years, the GOP has been defining elitism downwards, ensuring that to the general public it connotes only cultural, culinary, literary habits rather than how it has more and more ominously manifested itself here.

Elitism is what makes possible the sociopathic desire of so many of our wealthy and super-wealthy–the mad desire to accumulate infinite wealth while depriving fellow citizens of the ability to survive, let alone thrive.

And today, Democrats as well as Republicans equally qualify.

If the Democratic Win the Future techno-moguls aren’t elitist, who is?

But today, once more Trump and the GOP swamp have staked out a new coordinate of extreme, defining evidence of absence-of-elitism as the presence of desire to consume junk food.

Yes, talking to the BBC, the Mooch, millionaire elitist that he is, has proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that Trump, whose overriding concern is to enable himself and his friends to rob the U.S. blind,

is actually not an elitist because of all that crap he guzzles as rapaciously as he seeks to pilfer as much of this country’s wealth as he and his buds can cart away.

Now that Batshit Bannon is back, he’s using Trump’s spout hole to funnel the most grotesquely defamatory anti-immigrant rhetoric into the public consciousness.

Bannon is a racist, bigoted, anti-Semite misogynist who makes no sense and tells no truth. He is just as much of a populist as Hitler was, manipulating the “rootless white males” he’s identified as easy marks.

Joshua Green’s new book on how Bannon–puppet of the insane Libertarian Fascist father-and-daughter Robert and Rebekah Mercer–managed to get where he is today, is, not surprisingly, an instant best-seller.

And it’s on the Mercers’ million-dollar-dimes that Batshit rails against “elites”!!

Reporters on Capitol Hill were discouraged [euphemism] from covering the protests against the GOP’s obscene let’s-blow-up-health-care-for-our-citizens bill.

Julia Conley at CommonDreams chronicles the outrages–and the resultant outrage.

A (Russian) friend texted this morning: “in the evening NYCB danced absolutely perfectly. Bolshoi helped them to go to another level!!!”

“Everything he did with ease and perfection. I cannot describe the effect it had on us in Paris.”
