- This was shared by a retired public radio host. (I won’t say who, but if she wants to come forward and claim her laurels, all the better.) The graphic itself was created by Gary Huck. (Give him some loves.) It’s effing brilliant: If NPR doesn’t steal...55 comments 209 Recs

- It’s no secret that Donald Trump hates media outlets that challenge him and his administration. In the past, he’s singled out The Washington Post and CNN, corruptly using his office to try to punish them and their parent companies. Now he appears to be...74 comments 138 Recs
- Trump couldn’t find ______ on a map unless he had a sharpie to change the borders. You had to be there. CNN anchor Don Lemon was infected with a case of the giggles Saturday night while discussing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Lemon was joined by two...73 comments 84 Recs
- One of the most prominent and disturbing elements of Donald Trump's character (or lack thereof) is his tendency to embrace the language and behavior of mafia dons. He regards himself as an ...16 comments 33 Recs
- I don’t think many people can accuse me of being a Biden fan. When he says something stupid, I call him out on it. But sometimes he reminds me of just what a different league he is in compared to Donald J Trump. I was moved by two things he did last...61 comments 91 Recs

- I don’t do all of that fancy stuff when I write, no images, no video, no audio. I just speak, and perhaps that is not welcome, not common, not inviting, worth even a look-see. First of all, in the thought of just sharing, I believe that Adam Schiff...2 comments 0 Recs
