Today, Trump thanked Comey by corruptly indicting him. To Donald, loyalty & gratitude are one-way streets.

We all know ‘tragedy’ comes from Greek.
‘tragos’ = goat
‘aeidein’ = to sing
So ‘tragedy’ originally meant “goat song.”
Not to be confused with the GOAT song, which is probably “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman.
This is a wonderful article, so beautifully written! Thank you for writing it. I came in contact with people of this mindset when I was a homeschooling mom, and I have been deeply troubled by it ever since. The amount of damage this man and others like him have done is incalculable. 😕

Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
Imagine your family member about to be disappeared and someone yelling at you about some files and that your family member’s disappearance is a “distraction”.

It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

Israel just killed him.

First they come for the comedians, then the cartoonist. Kings fear being laughed at. We have a funny bone to pick with/without a smile on our faces #Colbert #Kimmel #SethMeyers #DailyShow
So their appointment of an inclusion advisor was merely performative. :-( That is infuriating. So say nothing of a tremendous wasted opportunity to benefit from your knowledge, expertise, and creativity.
