Right there with you

It’s really hard to keep your cool when you truly give a crap about your country.

I lost it on a golf buddy the other day.

Trump is a national embarrassment

God he’s embarrassing. Sounds like a simple minded high schooler.

This is why his base loves him. He distills the complex into utter simplicity. None of what he says is true, but that is besides the point.

They been fed a steady diet of Fox lies and this is what they want. The Kurds have now flipped from stalwart heroes that “helped” the US defeat ISIS, to communists and terrorists who deserve to be massacred.

Trump is the hero for bringing our troops home even while he is sending troops into Saudi Arabia. Never mind that whole thing about 9/11 and the Saudi connection. The Saudi’s pay in cash—and to Trump and his base that’s all that matters.

He's a fool

Highly recommended

I spent a decade or so fascinated with The Holocaust. I read everything there was at the time—including Hoess’s memoir/biography.

I was looking for some insight, some clue as to how an evil this enormous could have been committed.

What I found was a tapestry of ordinariness. A bureaucratizarion of extermination. Only Mengele stood out as actively evil. The rest were just doing their jobs—plodding through their days—trying to not perceive the horrors in which they were utterly complicit.

This was the most stunning realization—that ordinary men and women—when swallowed by the machinery of evil would dutifully carry out their tasks—even if that was to kill their fellow humans.

My bad.

Except Erdogan is refusing to meet with Pence

Interesting theory. However, Erdogan is refusing to meet with Pence.

I’m sure that dandy letter Trump sent Erdogan helped immeasurably...

Bet they smell wonderful

I love the way puppies smell. I wish I could cuddle a few of these. I bet they have that wonderful puppy funk.

Took me a while...

Shot through the heart
And you’re to blame
You give love a bad name

Pretty good.

Love the last pic too. Big ol’ dog and a tiny fawn. So sweet.
