I can’t wait for the release of the epic film “Donald of Arabia”. Perhaps like his predecessor, Lawrence, he will find things are hard to control in the Middle East.

Los Vegas Raiders. What is so hard about this? Retire Pete Carroll and Geno Smith. Chip Kelly is sitting right there. He already has the ball cap and the hoodie. Just do it

I worked in an 1890’s Goodyear tire factory for six years as a fill in laborer to help pay my college tuition in the 1960’s. Trump’s attempts to bring that world back is like trying to reverse time. I made less than $3 an hour but I worked overtime to make it work. Ain’t happening

The only must watch TV for me is the Rachel Maddow Show. It helps me understand what Trump is up to. It’s a huge mistake for MSNBC to let her go back to Mondays only.

“Corruption is patrimonialism’s Achilles’ heel because the public understands it and doesn’t like it. It is not an abstraction like ‘democracy’ or ‘Constitution’ or ‘rule of law.’ It conveys that the government is being run for them, not for you.” search.app/B3oTfWts5TgJ...

search.appOne Word Describes TrumpA century ago, a German sociologist explained precisely how the president thinks about the world.

Wahkiakum County has 4000+ residents and the main thing is logging. 25 years ago I could hike to the top of Altoona Hill and see mature forest for miles on private timber land. Today the view is scalped hilltops. Much was chipped for paper products. It’s crazy not to buy Canadian lumber.

Now Gingrich is now suggesting that the "short-time horizon," will last for "two or three years," which would take us to the back half of Trump's second term. That doesn't sound like "very quickly after we win the White House" to me.

Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S. We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off. Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.

"We have accomplished more in 43 days" than other administrations in 8 years, and he's right. in the sense, that they have done more damage, harmed more poor kids abroad, undermined more laws, fired more civil servants including veterans etc etc
