This is messed up. Time to look for alternatives to these oppressors.

I’m not surprised. They do whatever they want, regardless of public opinion. They think God will protect them.

And the American people are idiots. Once Trump is gone we can get back to supporting Ukraine the way it should have been from the start. Putin will fall then.

Heartless monsters. Sad that they represent Russians to the world. Justice for them will come and will be harsh.

His very obvious efforts to coerce Ghislaine into silence speaks volumes about his guilt.

Trumps self-inflicted wounds were back when he was raping children.

Their goal has always been to destroy TRUTH. In a world without it they can control the narrative and dictate how people think. Remember the Birthers? Despite the fact that the claim Obama was born in Kenya was 100% disproven, Trump financed the group for 8 years. The Truth started to die then.

The black US GIs that came home after WW2 were key to starting the civil rights movement. They saw that Europeans treated them with respect and gratitude that they didn't get back home. They were strong and brave enough to say Fuck You to the racists in their hometowns. They changed the world.

This is great news! Trump is on the wrong side of history as usual.

A well written article on one aspect of Trump's DOJ.

It galls me that more people are worried about their economic situation than the fact that we have a sexual predator, and probably pedophile working in the White House. I just don't understand the lack of values in the American public.

I cannot wait for this war to be over. Z will retire as a national hero someday, and can spend his days playing with kids.

Happy Veterans to all the war vets out there. Also Armistice and Remembrance Day. Someday we will learn how to avoid war, but it will never diminish your sacrifices.

I hope the BBC says "we will not pay you a penny."

That's the really insane thing about it. Apparently the media giants think that they'll lose in court?!! Every editing decision should stand as the privilege of the producer. Anything else is just coercion.

BTW, if you want a good idea of what is happening in Venezuela right now, watch A Clear and Present Danger. Minus the Hollywood ending, the attacks against Venezuela nationals are starting.

I'll never understand how these frivolous law suits even are allowed to be filed. Hopefully the BBC can counter sue and win back a bunch of money.

It's actually a pretty smart idea. Let's pay all the National Guard Troops to go to Chicago and shop! As long as all they do is just buy stuff, I'm all for it.

Yeah, I'm an incurable optimist. It all depends on how fast the ice melts. And how fast we can ditch the GOP.

IMHO I think some number of humans survive and adapt using technology. The rest of the biosphere won’t be so lucky. It will be ugly and lonely lives for those guilt ridden humans that make it.

Reason enough to toss the Senate bill into the dustbin of history.

He knew he'd be boo'd. And that he could use that response to incite his base followers. "Show some respect" was the predictable outrage during a military event. In fact the way Trump treats the military, I'm sure most of them on the field enjoyed hearing the commander in chief loudly boo'd.

Just another day in the GOP Dystopian future for anyone who stands in the way of Trump. Posing for photos in front of Chicago landmarks like damn tourists on vacation. While getting paid to terrorize whole sections of town. It's almost inconceivable that this has happened on our watch.

You can trust both of them to say whatever helps them gain money or power. The truth is an enemy to them. They are stronger when the truth is dead.
