Former GOPer. Civil discourse & critical thinking desired. Truth is essential. Politics, economics, philosophy, history, phrases & quotes with some humor, wit & sarcasm. The chaos of the next 2 yrs will prove necessary to finally correct this MAGA mess.

One of the saddest outcomes of the last 10 years is that our children and young people have had no model of integrity, honesty and true strength at the pinnacle of power to look up to. Hopefully a very small percentage have started emulating what they see.

It seems the strategy is to compensate for underwater polls and certain defeat in midterms, with a wave of fear mongering and more military activity. A cornered animal will pull out all of the stops (sorry for the mixed metaphor). But we can expect more cruelty and evil to come.

All decent Americans must resist the criminal regime in the White House. Do it for patriotism, or do it because it's getting worse and everyone you love will suffer.
You can try to avoid politics, but politics will not avoid you.

Nothing proves the Trump administration is made of mean whims based on lies better than a president who is murdering people in boats "because I am so strongly against drug trafficking" pardoning someone who trafficked more drugs than a hundred fishing boats could carry.

An insecure person will continuously embellish their supposed achievements, constantly talk about themselves and always run others and their achievements down, in order to lift themselves up.

A crumbling administration will have a similar reaction as that of a cornered animal. It will likely get worse and more brutal & evil before it finally collapses.

We ALL (except Native Americans) came from somewhere and because we assimilated so well, our great country and experiment in democracy have lasted for 250 years. That sounds like assimilation to the highest degree.
Ah yes, Stephen Miller, née Stephen Standish Miller, a descendant of the Mayflower Standishes
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization
