I don’t think I have ever witnessed anything quite like Michelle Obama’s speech. What an extraordinary woman. Perhaps she woke up enough people to save our democracy. Onward!

The Roger Stone commutation travesty takes Trump to a new low. Stone should spend the rest of his life in jail, and Trump should be in the cell next to him.

What a joke Trump’s Tulsa germ fest is turning into! All those empty seats—we get more people at a Rays game. Maybe American fascism/Trumpism has passed its peak. Let’s hope so.

Trump has finally gone completely over the edge, revealing his inner dictator. It is chilling to see fascism in America. Heaven help us all.

My first tweet. I wish it could be more positive, but living in Trumpland is surreal. His combination of ignorance and arrogance is disgusting and appalling.
