Televangelist, scam artist and overall awful person Jim Bakker had passed away yeaterday.

It is safe to say he is now looking UP at all of us.

“Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” — Matthew 7:23, NIV. Bye.
THE ABSOLUTE VERY BEST OF REV. JIM BAKKER

Ms. Rachel is love. It doesn’t surprise me that the deplorables called her this. Ms. Rachel must be doing something good.
Tomi Lahren took aim at Ms. Rachel, comparing her to “Hasan Piker in overalls” while mocking her headband.

Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.

“The numbers do not look good.”

As the Fox Business panel tried to spin Trump’s economy as “steady,” hosts were forced to interrupt with breaking news that September job creation missed expectations and unemployment rose.

So much winning.
JUST IN: U.S. unemployment climbs to 4.2% as September job growth sharply misses expectations, with just 29,000 jobs added.

(The Atlantic) Really fascinating article about the best way to deal with Trump...as a leader in a foreign country. Canada's foreign minister and trade minister wrote this, and it's quite revealing about how to stand toe-to-toe with Trump. Superb.

For some, it’s grocery bills and utility costs. For others, it’s Trump, democracy, healthcare or who really has influence in government.

Jack Smith: Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation. If asked to prosecute a former president today based on the same facts, I would do so regardless of whether that president was a Republican or a Democrat.
