Donald Trump tweet after getting made a Fool, again
From the republican president who has a republican party majority in the Congress and Senate.
(Analysis.) Many liberal thinkers have put forth good reasons for senators to reject President Trump's nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. People for the American Way, one of a coalition of groups that delivered block-Gorsuch petitions with one million online signatures, cited his ...
troubling views and record when it comes to siding with wealthy and powerful interests, over the rights of working people, women, and the disabled.
(Edit: Evidently the article I linked from Counterpunch was unlabeled satire that I didn't catch. Fake news if you will which Counterpunch should be a little leery of since they're on the oligarchy's fake news list. Doesn't change my opinion of Trump's mental state though.)
Even though, as I pointed out in my previous diary, the "Left" is at best a point of pride on a few Facebook profiles, the Right feels obliged to restrain any sort of deviance because, you see, austerity planning has its beneficiaries. So they run articles in places like Vox warning us that phenomena like Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn are not the solution to our problems.
I was originally writing this as a comment to "Russian Trolls Fooled Sanders Voters, Including on Here" when I got carried away and realized I had written an essay of my own...
Trump's U.N. Ambassador, Nikki Haley, is proving to be every bit the rabid warmonger Samantha Power was/is. Trump is proving to be every bit the Imperialist his predecessors were. "Make America Great Again". Wasn't that a clue? I thought it was.

I hate the narrative that "the people" elected Donald Trump because they were tired of the status quo, that those who voted for him were those most affected by the jobs leaving the country, the white poor from the rust belt and rural areas, the "working class", the "99%".
Good Morning, America, I was sliding into the "madness" here in Germany lately, so I don't like you to do the same on your side of the world. In order to help you along with avoiding it, listen to Paul Jay, whose rational thinking offers you a way out of it.
Just listen.

On January 27, President Donald Trump issued an order banning entry to the U.S. of persons from certain Muslim-majority countries, and of all refugees. The sudden enforcement of that order drew 1000's of people to the nation's airports, and elsewhere around the world, to stand against religious discrimination and for due process of law, and to support refugees and those blocked by the travel ban. It also drew this comment from one person who has been working to help refugees settle:
“When I see refugees now being shut off like that, I think, ‘How on earth can we be so hardhearted,’ ” said Harley Kooker, who first worked with refugees in Vietnam as a conscientious objector to that war. “I was always taught that we love whoever regardless of ethnicity, race, religion, you know, that’s who my Jesus is, that’s what my Jesus taught.”
