Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir has reignited controversy around Prince Andrew. She alleged that he sexually abused her multiple times before she turned 18 and that she was trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The monarchy is now scrambling for damage control. #EpsteinFiles

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.

And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

Trump: "They're gonna lose Medicaid, they're gonna lose Social Security, they're gonna lose Medicare -- all of those things are gonna be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt and you're not gonna have any kind of medical insurance. With us it's the opposite."

No scandals, no bribery, solid appointments, respected as an orator worldwide. No wacky races videos, bombing of Venezulan fishermen, insulting Australian reps, South African and Ukrainian presidents.
No wrecking the sacred walls of TWH or threats to Panama and Greenland! Those were the days eh!
