I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this coordinated campaign to delegitimize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans. These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

14. The stupidity is endless. We are told the president is a patriotic American, then he sucks up to America's enemies. Worse, last week, he switched sides, joining a Russian imperialist who is helping Iran kill Americans. www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-...

13. We deserve to know what they are with sustained coverage in granular detail, but there is nary a peep from the press corps. The AP is willing to repeat word-for-word that Melania Trump negotiated "a localized ceasefire," but not report why Donald Trump is bleating like a sheep.
