Can we have a conversation about setting some minimum standards for political leadership?
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin: "President Trump literally wrote the book on the art of the deal. He's the strongest leader of your and I's time. Period."

Not sure what this normies stuff is about but if you haven't noticed nice ladies do a lot of the activist work in this country and have since the abolitionist movement, you maybe should.
And here's a secret of the past decade: a lot of the crucial organizing/resistance work is done by women who look like nice mom-type ladies, often suburban variety, sometimes through nice organizations like churches. Sorry if anyone needs it to look like Che Guevara.

It’s Day 11 of #TrumpsWar. This war of choice has already cost the lives of 7 American service members and numerous innocent civilians in the region, driven up gas prices, and cost taxpayers billions.
And Trump and his administration are STILL struggling to answer the question “What’s next?”

Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?
TRUMP: You could say both

Love me some Jesse Welles.
Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice."
Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

Teen models, powerful men and private dinners: when Trump hosted Look of the Year
In the early 90s, Donald Trump judged contestants at the world’s biggest modelling competition - since hit by allegations of abuse. This is how the people who were there remember it

Despite being a massive liar, he always tells you what he's going to do next, if you just listen.

Trump mentions NYC, Baltimore, and Oakland, says "they're so far gone," and adds, "this will go further. We'll starting very strongly with DC."

A deranged convicted felon who wants to distract from his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein is lying about Washington, DC, which tallied a 30-year low in violent crime last year. It’s important to keep speaking the truth and not permit this pathological liar to control the narrative.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

I’m not surprised that tens of millions of Americans have been hoodwinked by a con artist. But I am disappointed that they’ve been hoodwinked by such an *obvious* con artist. And for so long. These easy marks encourage new entrants in the con-artist industry, and some of them are less obvious.
