(Donald Trump is) every single stereotype of a loathsome shitheel from the last one hundred years of popular culture, all at onceβ€”the ignorant blowhard at the end of the bar, the entitled silver spoon trust fund asshole, the clueless boss who does nothing but create crises for his employees to clean up, the lecherous old man, the vapid self-important celebrity, the penny pinching miser who stiffs the honest working man, the oily corrupt politician, the cowardly bully, the draft-dodging faux-patriot, the scumbag crook who gets off on a technicality. He’s almost literally every repugnant trope from generations of literature, movies, and TV shows.

This is the manβ€” the clown, the ignoramusβ€”who ends our Republic?

Wanna see something cool?

At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is.

The result? The crowd losing its mind. πŸ”₯

The Big Picture: How We Got Into This Mess, And How We Get Out of It | Robert Reich
I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system. In 1952, The Big Picture: How We Got Into This Mess, And How We Get Out of It | Robert Reich

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. πŸ—ƒοΈ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...

The Heritage Foundation touts P2025 for a better America by economic growth. However, it’s at the expense of some of the most vulnerable Americans. The elderly, low income families, and our veterans.

Additionally, it will impact our future by:

Black folks know this, but I need everyone else to understand it too.

The term β€˜woke’ started in the Black community. It was about being informed, educated, conscious of social injustice & racial inequality. Now, hyjacked by the right & weaponized against us. That’s why I’ve left the word behind.
