Pathetic

I've never had more respect for lawyers than I do now. It's lawyers who are leading the resistance. It's taking some time, but they're winning more than they are losing. The way Congress sits on their hands, it will be lawyers who save US democracy.

Expressing concern over the anti-government protests in Iran, Trump is considering "strong" military action there. Given the tenor of anti-government protests here in the US, just which side would he fire on?

We will soon add "Trump Fusion" to the list of his failed ventures.
Devin Nunes, who has a degree in agriculture, is the scion of a dairy-farm operation and ran a deeply unprofitable social-media firm, will now be co-CEO of a nuclear-fusion company.
