Tuesday, October 23, 2018

And another day of Trump and the GOP stoking fear in the weak-minded comes to a close:

“The biggest threat to our democracy is indifference.” -- Barack Obama

Trump: 'I'm a nationalist'. He just left out the word “White.” Or was it “Russian?” In any case, Nationalism is a cancer. It leads to atrocities.

Trump calls U.S.-bound migrant caravan a national emergency, cuts aid. He went all fear factor yesterday morning, saying the caravan contained criminals and Middle Easterners. He also called it an “emergy” but you know, I don’t want to sound picky.

A counterterrorism official contradicts President Trump: No sign of ISIS or "Sunni terrorist groups" in the migrant caravan.

Trump admits 'there's no proof' of his 'unknown Middle Easterners' caravan claim. Bastard.

Trump stokes fear and racial division ahead of midterms. He’s running the same playbook from two years ago. Don’t fall for it.

"You're seeing a national effort by the Republican Party to try to restrict voting rights, and it's playing out in states all across the country.” They’re targeting minorities.

Democrats are seizing on a report detailing a nearly dollar-for-dollar balance between two decades of tax cuts benefiting the wealthiest one percent and proposed GOP spending cuts to the nation’s social safety net programs. We all lose when you vote Republican.

Trump claims GOP is protecting people with pre-existing conditions. Evidence says otherwise.

Republicans trumpet pre-existing condition protections—despite votes to repeal Obamacare. You’ve seen their actions, so their words are meaningless. They’re just trying to fool you.

At a get-out-the-vote event on Tuesday, Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz joked that his Democratic challenger, Rep. Beto O’Rourke, should be thrown in jail with Hillary Clinton. There are no jokes in politics. This was calculated. Republicans are horrible people filled with hate.

Trump says he's terminating a major nuclear treaty with Russia.

Older white voters say they fear Democrat Andrew Gillum in Florida governor’s race: “He scares me.” They claim it has nothing to do with race, but, well, you know.

Sandra Day O'Connor announces dementia diagnosis.

The number of unvaccinated children in the U.S. continues to rise, new report finds. Because some people are stupid.

It's not just the ocean. Microplastics have been found in human stools for the first time in a multi-country study, suggesting they may be in our food chain.

A group of high schoolers e-mailed Stephen King to ask if they could adapt one of his stories. He said yes, with two requests: $1 for the rights, and a DVD copy for himself. There are still good people in the world.

“Start every day off with a smile and get it over with.” -- W.C. Fields

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
