Not a physicist but yes, the pendulum will have to swing all the way left to come back rest in the middle and sadly, it will require much force.

That is the best analysis of him I think I’ve ever seen.

Hang on. We are in it for the long haul. We can regain control and restore 10 fold what has been taken from us. There will be a new birth of Liberty, I swear it will be so. The swinging pendulum of our history shows we will find equilibrium once again.

While sitting here in the smoking ruins of all three branches of American government, I have at least small consolation today that the Nobel committee has not yet fallen.

That's right. Trump is Trump first and everything else is a means to his ends.

Ha! She had no conscience and tomorrow she'll be back worshipping her orange Fuhrer. As for Qatar, them Idaho MAGA boys will blow that base to hell and gone before they let the Qataries land one plane there.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

✊ New Yorkers will not stand idly by as ICE operates in the heart of our city, kidnapping New Yorkers and separating them from their loved ones and community. #ICEOutOfNY

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.

He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

We live in a country where the president can order a comedian to be yanked off TV. What I describe is not a democracy.

Dehumanizing people effects us. It builds hatred in our hearts and it's not healthy. His behavior was despicable but he was a person with redeeming human qualities, a loving father and husband. We become hardened when we label the person, not the behavior. We create civility in how we esteem others.

I hear you. It's hard to consider treating people as we wish to be treated, especially when they have been evil to those we care about. I'm preaching to myself here.
