Panel on Ari discussing all the resistance protests in 2017...then the one guy started laughing (he is a comedian) and said "Yeah but the one guy who they were supposed to impact couldn't give a damn"..jarring and profound when you think of it that way....

Fugelsang takes on illiterate Trump


Donald J. Trump
I gave millions of dollars to DJT Foundation, raised or recieved millions more, ALL of which is given to charity, and media won't report!

They also don't report that you can't spell "received" so maybe call this one even..FUGELSANG.

Why have so many Republicans suddenly started crawling toward Trump?

Why have so many Republicans suddenly started crawling toward Trump? I have heard at least one theory:

1. The Russians hacked the RNC as well as the DNC. What happened to that hacked RNC information? Is it now weaponized by Mercer et al, and prepared to be used for blackmail?
2. Several Senators and perhaps others have had their email and computers hacked. CNN (among others) reports Lindsey Graham has stated that his campaign email was hacked by the Russians. Lindsey Graham has also gone from Trump critic to Trump sycophant.
3. Trump has been meeting privately with Putin, who is treating him as an intelligence asset.
4. Murdoch is pulling more than 60 billion out of the US, while keeping Fox News? Is he hedging his bets?

How much of the recent fawning is from fear? Fear of what? Perhaps exposure of sensitive material hacked by the Russians. Perhaps fear of a Fox News with no constraints whatsoever.

Perhaps the Russian help for Trump continues with direct consultation with Putin. There is something very strange going on right now across the Republican elected officials. Are they being blackmailed? Why are they so terrified of Trump?

Republicans have done so many previously unheard-of things in the past year. By this time, seeing them cowering from Trump as if a word from him will cause them to be imprisoned or killed starts to be almost "normal".

Do not speculate on a Constitutional Crisis.
We are in the midst of one right now.

Christmas a beautiful/intentional paradox; the birth of the homeless should be celebrated in every

"Christmas is built upon a beautiful & intentional paradox; that the birth of the homeless should be celebrated in every home."

―GK Chesterton

I happen to live next door to the Homeless Shelter and I celebrate those folks every day. They inspire me.

American Brit moved back to London. "Trump is a logical result of your culture."



Mari

London|Dec. 22


I am an American, since 2011. I am also European. Moving to America in 2001, I read the history of the country I had now adopted - the Revolution, Civil War, Sixties Revolution, Caro's magisterial books on Robert Moses and LBJ. Living close to Concord, MA, I had plenty of local sources of US history and culture. However, I found the country in which I now lived to be a cold, occasionally vicious place; everything was for sale - including health care, which I had regarded as a basic human right in my European home. Employment law was totally skewed in favour of the Employer. No statutory Maternity Leave or even statutory vacation days! I quickly formed an impression of a people working and working harder just to keep up - getting deeper and deeper into debt to keep up their lifestyles and naively swallowing every marketing message that came their way - totally in thrall to Capital which just want to sell them more and more useless stuff and lend them more and more money to buy it. I moved back to Europe, having first become an American citizen (dual) and was appalled from a distance when Trump was elected - but not surprised. The US is a nation that has been selling itself to itself for a long time and has a 'weakest loses' culture - everyone is competing with everyone else in a dog-eat-dog society. There is no room left for civilised (with an 's'!) society. So this American, with a perspective formed outside it, can tell you that Trump is a logical result of your culture.

2018 Blue Wave...view from over here in Wisconsin, stay alert please..

It is wonderful to keep hearing MSNBC herald a blue wave next year, but having lived thru the last 8 years in Wisconsin, I can tell you it is not that easy. We have been shackled here...we may have lost 100,000 to 300,000 DEM votes in 2016 due to their gerrymandering and voter suppression and all manner of cheating.. Folks, stay alert, it is not going to be that easy, just because Trump is evil. The times have changed, elections are NOT fair.
