This is WEIRD! Eight years ago . . .

the right wing media was apoplectic about the fact that President Obama forgot to wear an American flag pin on his lapel. I just watched Trump 's address to the CIA staff - I'm not going to get into the inappropriate remarks he made - and I just noticed that he's not wearing his American flag pin. Where is the right wing outrage today? This incidental practice only seemed to matter when the President was African-American. What can possibly explain this? I wonder . . .

the dehumanizing process. We are discussing the crowd size now because Trump has made the details the issue today rather than, say, ISIS.

Excellent photoshop.

I never noticed those tiles that have letters behind his right shoulder. Anybody know what that says?

It's Latin for "further beyond," the national motto of Spain.
