As Der Führer says, "Nobody's seen numbers like this before!" Among independents, Trump is underwater by a jaw-dropping 54% and, on his handling of the economy, by 61%. Yes, the midterms are eleven months away, but these numbers indicate a blue tsunami of unprecedented proportions.

This is sick. Tucker and Nazi Nick share an underlying worldview based on a belief in the innate inferiority of women. Misogyny is the gateway drug to all other hatreds. They are plugged into the man > woman template. Anyone in the lower position becomes an "=woman."

The cover of Rupert Murdoch's NYC rag today. The messages write themselves:
"TRUMP DECLARES WAR ON CHRISTMAS—REPUBLICANS GO ALONG"

“TRUMP SAYS LITTLE GIRLS SHOULD HAVE LESS SO BILLIONAIRES CAN HAVE MORE!"
