I would like every heterosexual member of the Supreme Court to tell me how much therapy and torture it would take for them to become gay.

You’ll find out the answer to that question when the heavy-knuckled knock at the door comes.
The Overton Window has now shifted to a point where “My political opponents are radical terrorists in league with Satan” is something a sitting president can say with an absolute straight face and no fear of consequences.

We all saw this coming, and you should have too. It’s not like any of it was hidden in any way.
I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

With Trump it barely registers because he said it just after taking a big dump on stage and just before eating it with a dessert spoon.
