Fucking hell. This is not just stupidity, this is at the core of Trumpism. Autocratic, freedom stealing, fuck the little people nasty. Hideous and ridiculous. Oh, and she is simpleton...
Without a touch of irony, standing by the Berlin Wall that was celebrated for being torn down...
https://twitter.com/MollyMcKew/status/1193244032077619200This is a US Govt official praising the GODDAMN BERLIN WALL, the symbol of 70 years of oppression and division under the Soviet boot.
In any other administration, this person would be fired immediately and never work in this town again. What an embarrassment these clowns are.

Hehehe. This is a new one... the mental leaps they have to make in their topsy turvy world must be exhausting!
The religious right loons have a new theory on why god 'allowed' Obama to be President...
Stone said that even though Obama attacked those who believed in God, it was still Gods will for him to be president for eight years because it was during Obamas administration that same-sex marriage was legalized, which is exactly what Jesus said would happen before he returned.

23 Years a Slave: Restaurant Owner Gets Bullshit Sentence for Enslaving Intellectually Disabled...
...Black Man
A South Carolina restauranteur was sentenced to prison after admitting he used violence, threats, and intimidation to force a black man to work more than 100 hours a week with no pay in a stunning case of throwback slavery.
On Monday, U.S. District Court Judge R. Bryan Harwell sentenced 54-year-old Bobby Paul Edwards to 10 years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to one count of forced labor, according to a press release from the Department of Justice. Prosecutors say that Edwards, who managed his familys restaurant, forced Chris Smith, an intellectually disabled black man, to work for free and live in a small room behind the restaurant. Court documents show that Edwards physically abused Smith for at least 17 years, including whipping Smith with a belt, beating him with pots and pans and even burning him with hot grease.

Welcome to the race, @MikeBloomberg! If you're looking for policy plans that will make a huge difference for working people and which are very popular, start here:
https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1192580948275204097
The tool set Bloombergs net worth at $52 billion
After just one more click, the tool responded.
WOW YOUVE GOT A LOT OF MONEY!
Your wealth puts you in the top 0.0002% of Americans.
Now you have the opportunity to invest some of it back into our society so everyone has a chance to succeed.
Youd pay $3.079 billion next year under Elizabeths wealth tax. This amount, which you likely wont even feel, will help us invest in education from birth through college and help finance health care for everyone.
Good news - youll still be extraordinarily rich! And if history is any guide, if you do nothing other than invest your wealth in the stock market, its likely that your wealth will continue to grow.
