I can’t believe this is legal in our country! Ok, maybe I can, but I’m very distraught that it’s acceptable & even more upset when considering the traffic it draws.
Phuck Donald Trump.

He's going to add new tariffs that will effect iphones, toys and many other household items

The new tariffs could hit US consumers harder than the earlier rounds. It would tax goods like iPhones and other consumer electronics, sneakers and toys. Last year, Trump imposed tariffs on about $250 billion in Chinese-made goods, targeting industrial materials and components.

Of course it would be a place appropriating the name Cherokee, too.

The county that the town is in is named Cherokee, and parts of the county are in the Qualla Boundary (the Qualla Boundary is what a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians told me is a preferred term for describing the area, rather than calling it a reservation). Cherokee is also a name of a town near there.

Thanks, appreciate the 1st-hand info as to how (some) Cherokee usage is not nearly so bad as a lot of us were thinking.

Lapse of US-Russia arms treaty will heighten missile threat, says UN


The UN secretary general has warned that the world has lost “an invaluable brake on nuclear war” with the expiry of a cold war-era arms control treaty on Friday.



The 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty has kept nuclear missiles off European soil for more than three decades, but the US and Russia have failed to agree on how to keep it alive.

Elijah Cummings house was broken into. Trump's response? "Too bad."

I am fucking shocked he even got the right "too" response. Fuck him, fuck them all.

This literally shows exactly what our founding fathers didn't want- party over people. The fact so little Republicans speak up even when they choose to not run and basically have nothing to fear at that point is tlfucking telling to me.

Democrats need to come out fucking blazing! Fuck political correctness. Democrats need to scream out how fucked this is! Trump has changed the political game like no one else and yet they are the slowest to react and move to this change.

Trump wins by being the loudest in the crowd and the only way to be beat that is being louder which isn't occurring.

Ugh..
I am just disgusted by everything.

A black congressman’s house being vandilaized after the white POTUS tweeted racist things at him and the POTUS’ racist followers is “so racist.”

At least one already did. He touted his record of prosecuting terrorists, which is a bit of an exaggeration to say the least. The only terrorism case he personally prosecuted that resulted in a conviction was one that dealt with social security fraud.

DUDE. Declaring it not a violation to save your own ass from looking like a failure is not the diplomacy we need right now in terms of... well, IRT anything really, but especially regarding nuclear power!!!

Characterizing Kim as having a great and beautiful vision for his country is fucking disturbing. A fascist says what...

Please, she ain't saying the word racist just like anyone else. " He was mistaken" or " liberal people are snowflakes." Please. No white political person is standing for us.

Look at the people has targeted.

Apparently KellyAnne responded to Nikki Haley’s tweet in kind, with “No, this is unnecessary.”
So yeah, totally acceptable to them.

I’ve been wondering if they play this for publicity/attention on purpose. Does it earn them something? I don’t understand them at all and I I don’t understand the ego drive for public attention but I just can’t imagine why they would be a couple otherwise.

I think he’s partly complicit. She won’t/can’t quit, so he openly disagrees with whatever official nonsense she spouts. That way they can brush it off as her just playing the part and avoid complete social suicide.

And let’s be honest, it’s not exactly new. Trump did not invent this in the Republican Party.

I just love that kellyanne is miserable at work and at home. She deserves it.
