I’ll see you all out there in protest! Remember to be safe, be smart, and above all bring your American flags and show them we are here to stay.

Schumer’s decision is an unconscionable surrender that shows he does not have what it takes to meet this moment, and the charade he pulled yesterday makes it even worse. Time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

What else is there to say about Donald Trump’s speech last night? The lies speak for themselves.

He doesn’t give a damn about you.

I just realized that we are living in the Empire Strikes Back era of American history. I can’t wait for the Return of the Jedi.

If Trump has them that intimidated then they need to retire. And MSNBC hosts piled on CNN earlier this year but their code of silence on this is gross. Have some courage and integrity. Is that too much to ask, or are you just too comfortable?
