How does the USA emerge from this death spiral? I don't see that it does. Trump's damage to relationships, soft power, and domestic coherence will last at least a generation. And any sane successor will spend another generation dealing with lawsuits. The ultimate global winner is, of course, China.

When the @washingtonpost.com reported about this possibility last month, DHS accused the paper of “making things up.” Apparently it was right all along.

One reason Rob Reiner’s death was so shocking is that he was a living embodiment of a gentle, righteous, kind humanity. Trump’s reaction, meanwhile, was an embodiment of his inhumanity, vile as it is. We all get to choose which one we would want to be. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

When politicians claim that private providers are more efficient than public, they are outright lying. A private company's goal is profit, rather than service delivery, which results in poorer services to extract more money. It's quite simple.

There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.
