DJT is ready to put an expensive war with Iran on the radar while cutting benefits for the American people. He has filed bankruptcy 4 times, and now he's adding our country's economy to the ash heap. We want a divorce from this miscreant. American soldiers will die, Congress must act.

This really is a great picture:

So… not a hoax then?

Must be nice to have a functioning Supreme Court.

I will say I am impressed how well he sleeps in public. When I was in 8 am Econ 101 in freshman year of college, I fell off chairs when I nodded off and I was 17.

The #ICELawlessness is not cooling down. N

It's heating up.

And, it's up to all of us to share what's going on.

So sick of stupid f*cking people who refuse to grasp the fact that the Constitution doesn't apply exclusively to American citizens, but to every person within the U.S. And they bask in the arrogance of ignorance. Is it any wonder that it's hard not to hate them.

Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview:

"And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap. Hold on."

He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.
