Unfortunately, Trump has so politicized everything that it causes people to question everything

The media has done an ok job of trying to push back on White House hyping fraud amount — any is bad enough — but using a vague and ultimately unsupported figure is journalistic malpractice. Which prosecutor said this? Their boss wouldn’t back it up. Journalists too eager to take prosecutor crumbs.

Tonight, Donald Trump tried to sell us all a shit sandwich, desperate to convince the American people that he isn't a complete and utter failure.
He’s lost the economy. He’s lost his mind. And next year, he’s going to lose the midterms.

This accomplished-more-than-any-other-president thing is a psychosis for Trump and his minions. It's such a big lie it's a wonder they don't burst into flames or burst out laughing when they say it.

A movement that demands grace and empathy whenever someone from their side suffers while offering none to the other isn’t really a movement that gives a shit about anything other than power and control

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.
men’s loneliness gets “more airtime”?
baby I have lived the past three decades of my life witnessing corporate media elevate men’s loneliness into a full-blown balls-to-the-wall CRISIS once every 4-5 years
“more airtime” is hilarious

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.
Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.
He continues to be a national embarrassment.

Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."
The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"
