Guess what they're talking about on Fox News

I'll give you a hint. Rhymes with "Minton".

Trump: "they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys."

No. They did not. They got a legitimate warrant and seized documents from Michael Cohen. Using the words, "broke in", is designed to trigger his supporters to think that what they did was illegal.

--On Edit--
Contrast that to his support of stop and frisk which is indeed a constitutional violation of search and seizure. His supporters love law enforcement when it's used against "those people" over there. Not me.

This country's future is more important than the Clintons, Obama, or Bernie

We have a country to save from a mad man, and future to save from climate change, global economics, the global rise of autocrats, etc. What the Clintons, Obama, and Bernie did or did not do is not relevant. It's not about them any more. It's about us and our future. The war of the five kings is done.

The Dollop: Erik Prince and Blackwater

Folks, I know that you're all plenty outraged enough, but we need to keep a close watch on Erik Prince. That m**f**cker is comic book villain.

The Dollop podcast on this page is about him:

Just remember that. Read the original story linked below. No mention of Nixon nor even the Republican party:

If Obama talked down a major corporation, and their share priced dropped...

there would be a tsunami of lawsuits from every crackpot conservative law firm in America.

We have a globally, inter-connected economy. We cannot go back to the early 1950s.

Tariffs and trade wars will hurt more Americans economically than they will help. Thousands of jobs are dependent on global trade. Tariffs will only benefit a small number of Americans, if that. There are approx. 75,000 steel workers in America, but there are thousands of jobs in the auto industry, construction, etc. that depend on affordable steel.
