It’s not until one travels to Canada, Europe, or Japan that one truly realizes that 40 years of a racist, trickle-down kleptocracy in tandem with a refusal to invest in our nation’s young people and infrastructure has turned the US into a shithole.

Colbert: “Sir, they’re not shitholes. For one thing, Donald Tdumbp is not their president.”

It doesn’t matter how many zeroes the Tdumbps and the Republinazis have in their bank accounts–they will always be white trash. They are a shitstain on this great nation that will take decades to bleach out.

We will survive this blatantly evil, cruel, illegitimate, and deeply stupid regime. We must do everything we can to ensure that they never seize power again.

Christian Christensen, an American professor of journalism at Stockholm University in neighboring Sweden, tweeted:

“Of course people from #Norway would love to move to a country where people are far more likely to be shot, live in poverty, get no healthcare because they’re poor, get no paid parental leave or subsidized daycare and see fewer women in political power. #Shithole”

The Leonard Thomas killing was really terrible. Either the cops were callous, or they were negligent, or both, take your pick, but that whole sequence should never have occurred. Not just talking about the outcome.

I complain about the Seattle Times, but they do essential reporting, like everything the public knows about that case.

I wish to see an official Norwegian response.

Speaking of "Spineless Cowards," how about the Congressional Democrats, lead by Nancy Pelosi,who voted against curbing some of Trump's (and Jeff Sessions) spying powers. This administration obviously poses a threat to the constitution and our democracy, yet key members of the so-called "resistance" don't seem to care.

I know this isn't as important as covering the latest news of Jill Stein or Susan Sarandon's latest outrages, but it does seem important. Long live the "Resistance!"

@2 Original Andrew: Donald Tdumbp is not my president, either, and
@3: Fully agreed. Viva La Resistance!
