Man, our country is just going down the sewer pipes further each day. Gonna take awhile to recover from these four years. And I hope that’s only four years.

Standing room only for over a week. Isn’t that a form of torture?

The Nazis thought so (and I’m pretty sure they’re considered experts in that line of work).

This is why I don’t give a damn who wins the nomination. Regardless of my feelings about the person, they have my 100% support.

Nancy is going to write another strongly worded letter behind this. CBP better be careful.

Republicans are just horrible fucking people. Its time that folks in Democratic leadership get a grip and forget about trying to work with them and put together a long term strategy to thoroughly defeat them. It won’t happen overnight but we need to start now.

Whoever the administration has running PR on this, they’d better recognize it’s going to only get worse from here. More photos, more interviews, more bodies.

Of course they probably don’t realize that, because Trump is not hiring his best.

Which carries more weight, a sternly worded Tweet or a sternly worded letter. I know they both get the same result, I just forget how to rate them.

The Fourth was a lot more meaningful when you weren’t deeply ashamed of what your country had done to itself, to the world, and to refugees, children among them, who came here to try to save their lives, eager and desperate to take any work they could get. At least I suppose it was. Honestly it’s hard to remember feeling like I was part of something larger than myself, something meaningful.

Oh wait.

I do remember.
