Quote of the Day

“We’re sitting here and in one week the President of the United States has had a credible rape charge against him and that didn’t make the front page of The New York Times when it first came out. In a typical week five or six things like that happen. Offenses to democracy, offenses to the truth and it’s all done cynically. Remember that word we all used to use at the beginning? ‘We have to be very careful of normalizing Donald Trump?’ Well, mission accomplished.”

— New Yorker editor David Remnick, on the Axe Files with David Axelrod podcast.

members.

The more primitive cultures lopped off their heads.

Responsible governments today confine such dangerous people in either a padded room or a prison cell.

I guess that is all I should say.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
