"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." - Thomas Paine 1776 Every Dem in office, please record that video.

NEW: A second archbishop, William Joensen of Des Moines, has apologized for the Oval Office prayer over President Trump led by Denver Archbishop James Golka. Golka has blamed the media for “headlines, which are often crafted to provoke.”

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

Actually insane. Who is reading all that bullshit?

😬 Trump sounds like hell during bizarre pre-rally gaggle 😬 Trump could barely speak, but what he said was nutso. He claimed his uncle invented radar, said he could "violate" Prizker and send troops into Chicago, and had a weirdly contradictory answer when asked who he golfed with today. Supercut:

This brutal Obama-Trump supercut side by side from @meidastouch.com helps explain why Trump is losing it tonight 👇🏽

"So when they tell me, 'but his name is Abdul.' I'll remind them, 'His name was Barack.' We stand on the shoulders of giants."
