Just as a reminder on what we are dealing with.

Sept 2015:

REPUBLICANS CRITICIZE OBAMA FOR TALKING TO PUTIN

Now look at Republican voters take on Putin over time. There is no reasoning with this. It is not worth the effort.

These people are treating politics like sports. Their team did something so they're gonna support it.

Can you blame them? The media cover politics the same way they cover sports. Meanwhile, study of civics, history and philosophy are pretty much abandoned in the US school system.

Not to absolve the media, but it is a for-profit business and the law of supply and demand dictates that the media provide a product that the consumer demands.

You're absolutely right about the de-emphasis of social studies. STEM initiatives have totally left us out. Utilitarianism by a different name.
 
Trump's tweets sound really camp. So camp!
 
So... a friend on Facebook just posted this...

The British government, sentencing babies to death with no regard for the parents or their wishes. THIS is what socialized healthcare does, folks. Parents no longer get to decide what's best for their child, but rather a court and doctors in white lab coats do. It's sickening! #CharlieGard

Yep... all up in arms because 1 terminally ill patient is being taken off life support against the family's wishes (which happens all the time in the USA - my wife is an ICU nurse) but they're defending a party that supports a health system that leads to thousands of deaths because people cannot even afford to see a doctor.
 
Good lord Conway is unbearable.

Cuomo has all the valid points and she refuses to answer them and repeatedly goes off on something else just to avoid it.

I don't advocate violence against women so can a female give her a proper slap please?

He's completed the set now and pissed off every single continent. Like some Presidential version of Risk, but using Twitter instead of armies. (hopefully)

Don't think he's pissed off the penguins of Antarctica yet, or has he?
 

The GOP and Faux News really did a hell of a job frightening their voters. Make them afraid, make them angry, make them distrustful though, and eventually the Frankenstein monster will turn on its creator.

Drumpf is just the beginning. If this trend isn't reversed, you will have far worse.
 
I don't know about fine, I remember reading an article about how the Adelie in Antarctica are going to lose half their population in the next 50 years.
Really? Got to admit I know almost nothing about Antarctica, just assumed even if a significant portion melts, there'd still be a lot of space for the penguins.

The great polar bear migration will wipe them out, once there's no more ice in the Arctic.
 
Saw this on my Facebook news feed...

It's illegal to solicit election contributions -- defined as "anything of value... for the purpose of influencing any election for Federal office" from foreign nationals.

So if the reports about Donald Trump Jr. meeting with a Putin-connected lawyer to obtain damaging information about Hillary Clinton are true, Donald Trump's son and the Trump campaign broke the law. They must be held to account.

Today Common Cause, whose board I chair, filed a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission and the Department of Justice against Donald Trump Jr.
