Just more proof that trump destroys everything he touches.

He's left a large swath of human rubble in his wake. Kelly is only the latest addition.

With him, projection is on steroids.

All these yowls about "fake news" - shit, HE'S the one GENERATING the fake news, and if he's not generating it personally, he's endorsing, praising, and amplifying the shit being generated by other assholes.

LOVE these stories, and these photos!

Every now and then, it's a relief and a blessing. Sweet things can, and do, still happen. Thanks for posting this story, AND the pictures, Amaryllis!

Or little darling perfect "Secretary of Everything" Jared, who was put in charge of social media

during the campaign. Or I bet he'd know who did.

I saw that, too.

NEVER forget.

I keep thinking about that poem "First they came for the trade unionists...

And I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a trade unionist...”

Yep.

And the one about how the only way for evil to triumph is for good men (and women!) to do nothing.

Let’s not forget, too: that first one ends with “then they came for me and there was no one left to speak up.”

I wonder if that lesson from about 80-or-so years ago might be learned in time, this time. I read an essay awhile back - which theorized that these cycles repeat every 80 years or so, because those who lived through it and could warn and instruct and give eye-witness accounts of how it started and what led up to it - die out and any safeguards that arose to prevent another one get relaxed or compromised or done away with, altogether. Because the later generations see those remedies as bothersome or too expensive and start cutting them away since there’s no problem anymore. “Problems? WHAT problems? There aren’t any! Why do we need all these laws/regulations/protections anyway?

So then it becomes much easier to get in trouble again. I think what I read had to do with the modern-day idiots (I’m talking about YOU, Paul Ryan!) who see no reason to maintain the social safety net set up by the New Deal, because those same safeguards PROTECTED and PREVENTED the kinds of abuses & recklessness that caused those woes to begin with. I believe the same latter-day naïveté applies to the frightening rise of the racist radical “right”.

Awww... how cute is that!

Could I get both?

I’m with whoever it was in the intel community who said, early-in, “he will die in jail”! YES!!!

Sad that it will continue to work.

Mainly because it worked very nicely FOR the GOP. So why should they want to rock the boat and do anything that questions the validity or casts doubt upon their “win” last November? That’s all they cared about: that it literally stole the White House for THEIR team.

Now if the Dems had kept the White House, the CONS would be raising holy hell about how horrendous and illegal and not valid the election results were. They’d be climbing all over it, to the exclusion of all else. But since it benefited THEM, they’re gonna drag their feet on any vigorous attempts to get to the bottom of this.

Seriously, NOT ONE of these CONS actually wants to be “investigating” ANY of this. Not a single one. They managed to “win”. So that’s all they care about. And what they really want is for the rest of us, including the news media, to shut up, drop it, and go away.
