Not every Trump supporter is an anti-Semitic, Nazi sympathizer. But I think it's safe to say that virtually every anti-Semitic, Nazi sympathizer is a Trump supporter.

There are certain industries that should either a) not be run for profit or b) should be very highly regulated, for the simple reason that when a business is run for profit everything else takes a back seat.
1) healthcare
2) education
3) prisons
4) public utilities

I have been begging all week for that! I really hoped they learned their lesson from last year's trial. Unless he's caught with a bloody knife in one hand and a smoking gun in the other Republicans won't even think of convicting him! And even then they'll plead self-defense first

The most astonishingly head-scratchingly stupid thing is that the next reporter did not ask the same question! Who was the lame-brained reporter who followed up with a payroll tax question?!
Argument: "guns don't kill people, people kill people".
Counter argument: "people with guns kill people"
Argument: "mass shootings are a mental illness problem"
Counter argument: "so you're saying the United States is the most mentally ill country on the planet?"

Someone from Australia once asked me why Americans love their guns more than their children. I replied, "It's that the gun-owning extremists love their guns more than *other* people's children".
If we are going to save the soul of our country we have to acknowledge that fully 1/3 of our citizens have been engulfed by what, when I was a kid, was called the Lunatic Fringe. They have been overtaken by beliefs that defy provable facts and objective reality. 2/6

Many of his disciples have lauded his greatness as a radio broadcaster and disseminator of conservative thinking. To them I say, here's someone else who was also pretty good at using radio to spread his conservative thinking.
We are literally in a war of information, where each side believes that facts and truth are on their side. The difference is simply this: one side uses reality to inform their ideology, while the other insists that reality conform to their ideology. 3/6
And if we are to save the soul of our country, indeed our human souls, we must begin by acknowledging to our friends and family, with love and compassion, that this is who we are in danger of becoming. 6/6
What if, when tuckum's was in Hungary last year courting and being courted by Europe's most Kremlin-friendly government, he was co-opted by Russian operatives and turned into Putin's American mouthpiece? I'm not saying it's true, but why can't we ask the question?

If you have any Trump supporters in your life, there is a good chance that their belief in this man has blinded them to certain realities. And one of those realities is that, while not all Trump supporters are anti-Semitic, Nazi sympathizers... 4/6

The easy, knee-jerk answer is his skin color. But I think it's what his skin color represented. His overwhelming popularity terrified them. They realized if they did not do everything they could to sabotage his presidency they would be lost in the wilderness, possibly forever.

Asked about Buffalo mass shooting, Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts says he doesn't support any further restrictions on gun ownership b/c the real problem is mental health (never mind that regular mass shootings like this don't happen in other comparable countries w/ tighter gun laws)
During an interview on Fox News Pete Buttigieg was pressed about why the White House didn't invite Elon Musk or Tesla to the meeting on tailpipe emissions.
He had to remind them that electric vehicles don't have tailpipes...

My favorite fun fact: in 1995 Connecticut tightened gun licensing and gun homicides decreased 40%. In 2007 Missouri eased gun laws and gun homicides increased 25%.

Pretty much sums it up.
And here's another nuance. Making abortion illegal means that a pregnant woman is a second-class citizen relative to the fetus. And if your rights are subordinate to someone else's, what does that make you? Hint: it rhymes with "brave".

What do you mean, now? We started down this path over 30 years ago, with the end of the Fairness Doctrine and the advent of right-wing talk radio. It picked up speed when the internet became available to the general public and was weaponized by Fox News.

Just to be clear, it is your position that Presidents can get away with any crimes they want, and run for office again, as long as they get out of office before the Senate tries them. Tell us again how you belong to the "party of law and order and responsibility".
