A populace that is agitated without being informed. A leader who encourages the worst suspicions, fuels the most dangerous lies, and mocks compromise and tolerance.

@dccommonsense The TDS thing is lame and vapid. It’s what they say to avoid addressing the gargantuan problem. Our forefathers may have erred in failing to anticipate the state of representative democracy when the education system fails the population.
Gaslight yourself till you're blue in the face...I'm a person who knows his history...we've never had anything like this and this is EXACTLY what the Founders worried about. It's been a multi-decade slide to get here-but we're HERE.Everyone who is honest with themselves knows it.
@DanRafael1 The joy of extra innings was the grind. Not just tied but it’s late, the teams are beat, they’re burning up pitchers, but somehow somebody’s gotta get that last run on the bases and across the plate. Baseball’s the journey, man.
@mkraju@jmart If Collins still benefits from these dramas she puts on before voting predictably, shame on her voters. Few things are more irritating than cosplaying thoughtfulness.
I just can’t imagine what it feels like to be one of the actual grownups who lost a job because of these childish ignoramuses. Stupid has taken over and its inevitable defeat will be so satisfying.
Unions and government workers are pushing back against a Trump administration email offering federal staffers the chance to resign and get paid for eight months https://t.co/SkjLc4zSEu
NEW: Trump hoped to shock and awe his opponents w his flurry of executive orders. Then, on Monday night, his OMB went rogue and shocked the White House w a memo of its own.

One of the more conventional ways to squander the brief bounce a president gets immediately after taking office is to behave like you have a mandate that you don’t have. Strong-arming in polarized environs can bite you hard, and often comes from people you thought were allies.
The new official White House bio for Trump reads more like a campaign pitch. And it opens with a falsehood, claiming he won a "landslide election victory" when in fact his 1.5-point popular vote margin was one of the smallest since the 19th century. https://t.co/F0i6tUnNMm
Today's rather sharp statement from Trump has been interpreted by Russian radicals not only as an ultimatum but also as a direct insult. They are convinced that their patron Putin would never agree to any concessions, which in their eyes means Trump is deliberately sabotaging the negotiations. As a result, Russians are furious, since they’ve been unable to achieve a breakthrough on the frontlines. Even the full occupation of the four claimed regions remains a distant and uncertain goal, if it’s even achievable at all.
Trump didn’t bother to outline a plausible scenario for such a deal. Surely, he must understand that Putin cannot simply stop the war—his hordes have no alternative but to keep going forward. No one wants them back in russia.
David Lynch has died at 78. The influential director was known for his unique and surrealistic films and TV shows including "Blue Velvet" and "Twin Peaks." https://t.co/fl9hwtmjEk
The notion that the government is supposed to clear out all the forests is beyond stupid. The person who thought that one up had to be trolling. Jesus, people, get a clue.
So now the left is condoning shooting people to death in cold blood (someone who couldn’t have changed the system if he wanted to). First we lost the right to Fox News. Now the left is on fucking Neptune.
When I was young and went to weddings, I would look at the older people and think” what can they possible know about marriage? They look miserable!”.
The answer is: we know everything. And we love you too much to tell you.
