The first time I went to London in '95, it was a theater class, so we saw so many plays in 3 wks, but the only play the entire class loved was Arcadia. It sticks with me 30 yrs on.

🎁 link to the WSJ editorial that made Stephen Miller so mad.

"It would be a shame if this single act of betrayal became the excuse for deporting all Afghan refugees...

"Thousands are building new lives here in peace. Collective punishment won’t make America safer."

The alleged shooting by an Afghan ‘partner’ shouldn’t condemn all who assisted the U.S. and now live here.

“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

Nothing Trump hates more than someone stating inconvenient facts.

He fully expects everyone to buy into his lies, and resents the hell out of anyone who points them out.
Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean

TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting

Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?

TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person

Was at a Thanksgiving dinner with many Republicans from Orange County, and we went round the table to say what we were thankful for and my “I’m thankful I haven’t been deported yet” was met with a stony silence.

Republicans and Democrats in Congress should demand that Trump tell Congress what his war aims are in Venezuela. If they're going to sit back and let him decide when and if the US goes to war, the least they can do in Congress is find out what he intends and maybe even why.

These two things are true:
1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal.
2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

When the strongest argument for your policy is a list of lies (I count 7) and exaggerations (another 5), you reveal more than a wonky list of truths ever would.
