NYC old money blackballed Trump for years because he was a classless, tasteless boor, & every day he demonstrates they were right to do it. The people's house, now featuring all the sophistication of a Vegas limousine

From a Time magazine interview: Asked if Americans should worry about Iran retaliating against Americans on U.S. soil, President Donald Trump responded, βI guess.β
Trump couldn't care less about Americans. To him, we are and always have been no-names, extras, the cost of doing business. He won't lose a minute of sleep over an American life, or over a thousand of them.

This is not my image, nor was it my camera. My hats off to whoever took this beautiful picture. It shows that life will allow more than one species to benefit from one thing at once. Even Bees and Hummingbirds can share water or nectar.
The Idiots that voted for trump and the Republican Party really really donβt care about Climate or the decline of our planet.

Hey, Dr. HRC... I was so inspired by your comments on cartooning and Tom Nast, I decided I'd try to do a really good one. Thanks for all you do.
Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.
