I’m not sure if it’s clear but the paragraph is a quote from an essay at NYT from one of its resident liberals, Tim Egan. Personally I’m not going to throw my hands up and surrender six months into this regime, there is freedom all around me, and it’s recognizable for what it is. This isn’t Egypt or Turkey where one could not do most of the things we take for granted, and I have faith checks and balances will stay in place.

At this stage, “the crowd’s unspoken needs and cravings” are proving even more worrisome than the leaders embodying them.

“poked a little fun” - more like being an a##.
So NOT "presidential.
Trump, Shulkin and an audience of dozens had gathered in the East Room to sign into law the VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act, which aims to protect VA whistleblowers and make it easier to fire department employees.
Wait a second… everyone knows that whistleblowers are nothing but filthy leakers. So I’m not sure how donnie “the antileaker” trump can support this bill?

I wish him a lot of luck in his next endeavour. I hope he enjoys the time he is about to get to spend more time with his family. I do not wish any misfortune upon him. But, karma is a crazy, mentally ill, drunk, drug addicted, angry woman that is about to get ahold of him. We’ll see. I don’t think this fool is going to like the next season of his TV show.
Nice mashup.

Because they refuse to listen to anything but FOX and hate radio which is why they never hear about anything negative about Republicans esp. Trump. It’s almost unbelievable the things they “think” happened or didn’t happen because of all the misinformation out there.
I’m not so sure about those checks and balances any longer. Republicans will overlook anything it seems.
There it is

They’re already using this on Fox as the most positive thing to say about him.

If you lie down with the dogs…
Well, I guess Pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, so all is well
5 months - 43 to go…
Vets will believe it when Republicans slip a knife in their backs.
I shudder to think how he would treat a dog. He’s bad enough with his appointees.

Wonder if he’ll fire the captain of the Fitzgerald?
Obviously, Donny-Two-Scoops thinks everyone working in the government are his dogs now.

I have always said that the founding fathers we not such geniuses after all.
Someone’s recommended Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States to me. It’s considered an alternative to what we’ve been taught but perhaps it’s the truth.
Haw haw haw
Well, we’ve all been accused of swearing by Howard Zinn, so I guess we’d better read it. I always thought he was a phenomenon of the Chicago area, hardly the mastermind of the left he is held out to be. I only heard about him when Obama got elected.
Yes, I’m that desperate that I am contemplating reading a book. The horror that is Trump slouches on.
The recommendation if that’s what it was came from someone from Chicago, but that’s irrelevant. I’ve read the first chapter which is on the treatment Native Americans received at the hands of European settlers beginning with Columbus whom we honor with a holiday. It was barbaric and meant to destroy their civilizations Read the right book and it’ll take you to a world far away from the current upset. I end my day with a book, always.
