Just a casual reminder that 60% of all wealth in America is inherited.

“Pull yourself up by the bootstraps” is a sham.

"Who set the counterculture in motion". . . Easy Rider (1969) very late on the scene. Haight Ashbury was in full bud by 1966.

This fat-shaming from a president who got his doctor to lie about his height so his vast weight to height ratio would not deem him obese. Look at the way his trousers are jammed up his arse when he walks, and how his 50 inch belt struggles to hold in his fat belly.

This should be a step too far even for most Republicans. Vow to work to oust any who vote to confirm this, dare I say, neo-Nazi.

Trump isn’t racist. He’s worse. He’s so narcissistic he doesn’t see people as people. It’s why he doesn’t have any real friends. It’s why he gives a thumbs up next to an orphaned baby after a mass shooting. Everybody is an obstacle or a stepping stone. https://t.co/RGw1R5ByPb

You cannot make this up. AG Barr's father hired Epstein without a college degree to teach at the prep school he ran & wrote 2 books while Epstein worked there: One,
"Space Relations: A Slightly Gothic Interplanetary Tale," is about sex slaves! Check google if you don't believe.

If Corbyn were serious about stopping No Deal—and he is and always has been a Leaver—he would stand aside for a PM of national unity. But he isn't wise enough to put his country before himself.
