YES….HE DID!….IGNORANCE…SELF-CONSUMPTION AND PRIDE ARE RAMPANT IN AMERICA….A GREAT PRESIDENT WAS ABUSED AND AMERICANS HAVE PLACED THEIR GREED ABOVE GOD…HE OWNS THE BEGINNING AND THE END!
Congrats, Gail! Yes he did, and far too many closed their eyes & ears.

Another weird part of this is that her husband is a permanent resident and she is in the pipeline for legal status. Yet, they won’t let her through for her son’s funeral. Unfathomable cruelty.
Again, I couldn’t sleep last night because of this stupid, hateful SOB….I say the Dreamers stay and the fucker leaves. That would be much better. Honestly, Congress better get their shit together and decide that America is worth fighting for. ITMFA
This is not simply about a flawed man, this is about the function of our democracy and American positioning in the world. How is one supposed to debate policy with someone who almost never tells the truth? How can a liar negotiate treaties or navigate international disputes? Without truth, everything falls apart, or more precisely, nothing can be established.
I vacillate between rage and sorrow that our country has come to such a pass. And yet, what is done is done. America made a colossal mistake, and it cannot be easily undone.
It is cold comfort that most of the country now believes that Trump isn’t a steady or moral or compassionate leader and half believe he isn’t honest, according to a Fox News Poll released last week.
But that acknowledgment doesn’t change the fact that we must develop a societal strategy for protecting the true in a post-truth world, and the first step is that we must never stop saying: Donald Trump is a liar.

Afternoon, folks! Here’s hoping your Labour Day is almost free of labour, and full of some real rest.
He is a pathological liar and has always been one.
I came from a family of union members; father a union rep. (trucking) and I was a member of a teacher’s union my entire career. Duty free lunch, planning period, smaller class sizes (though state found away around this), paid leave to attend professional national workshops, salary and benefit packages and more came to us via union negotiations. Getting rid of unions, especially those affiliated with AFL-CIO, is a rethug wet dream. We ARE better and stronger together.
Hi, CEB. I totally agree, we ARE better and stronger together, no question!
I am, and have always been, a union member (well, after my university student years), and know what’s it’s like to have a group standing with you - even during strike periods. The Idiot President is my first experience with unmitigated evil so close and so transparent. I shudder to look at him and am more than appalled to see how easily he floats from one evil to the next in what seems like an unstoppable manner.
You are so right, CEB. I’m in a teacher’s union here in CA and our board doesn’t want to give us any increase nor give us our second year at 5% which was negotiated 2 years ago for a 2 year contract. Now they refuse to give it to us retroactively unless we sign a 2 year contract for no increase at all. So we are working w/o a contract and protesting to the board this Wednesday. It boggles my mind at how much the school board hates to pay its teachers. Thank God for our union.
Please please please remember us in the northwest. We have fires everywhere and today high winds. We are in terrible trouble. Don’t know when this will end. Right now I would take water of any kind.
Had the pleasure of going to a women’s folk art workshop where my daughter and other women in south Seattle’s immigrant-rich neighborhoods are working on a “Let’s Touch” exhibit of pieces based on images from the Women’s March in Seattle, D.C. and other cities. It is starting to take shape.

The show will go up for the month of October, and I will ask my daughter to send photos. It is intended for visually impaired people and others to be able to SEE the artwork through TOUCH. They are making their pieces very tactile.
This is inhumane and cruel. Just stunningly cruel…

Brave Dreamers should stay. Cowardly asshole needs to go. Thread.
Almost one million people will be forced to leave a country that for the majority of them America is the only country that they have ever known.
THIS!
Perfect!
Just putting this here.
Of course they’re going to bleed the workers to pay for their tax cuts, its tradition.
them wwc folks must be deliriously happy what their dear leader is doing to their already pathetic lives.
Please please please remember us in the northwest. We have fires everywhere and today high winds. We are in terrible trouble. Don’t know when this will end. Right now I would take water of any kind.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers! Stay safe.
Stay safe; hope/pray that all of you get the help you need in a timely fashion.
We continue to pray for you in Montana. So sad we hardly hear anything about the fires there.
