BREAKING NEWS: Trump's government just approved Paramount's merger with Skydance. Sure looks like they paid Donald Trump $36 MILLION for this merger. Bribery is illegal no matter who is president.

Lucky escape for Taylor actually

Every word of this is agony to read. What Israel is doing to Palestinians is pure barbarism... by far the greatest single crime of the 21st century. Every sane person must oppose this evil.

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab. Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us. It’s time to fight back.

Trump’s narcissistic self, and his fragile ego, have to be in your face everyday or he feels empty and worthless. Deep complete narcissism. His brokenness and unresolved issues with his daddy creates all this insanity. Hurt people hurt people. Just a thought
