It is a civil war, just without all the shooting.

Democracy and our legal systems contain and control conflicts.  When our democracy and legal systems don't work, such conflicts will likely spill into the streets.  

I'm just saying that Trump is in a position to capitalize on such disruptions, if it comes to that. It's just another chapter in the authoritarian playbook.

He decided to wear an inappropriate bright blue suit and fell asleep.

Pathetic.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Golly, it sure is a good thing no other president was so classless as to wear a tan suit!

I am actually a bit surprised that Trump wasn't wearing a MAGAt hat.

CNN Poll: Trump’s approval at 100 days lower than any president in at least seven decades

Quote:Donald Trump won back the Oval Office and took charge of the government amid the strongest poll numbers of his political career, but as the 100-day mark of his presidency approaches, Americans’ views of what he’s done so far have turned deeply negative, a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS finds.

Trump’s 41% approval rating is the lowest for any newly elected president at 100 days dating back at least to Dwight Eisenhower – including Trump’s own first term.

Approval of Trump’s handling of the presidency is down 4 points since March, and 7 points lower than it was in late February. Just 22% say they strongly approve of Trump’s handling of the job, a new low, and about twice as many say they strongly disapprove (45%).

Voters thought they were choosing the lesser of two evils.  I guess it shows how wrong you can be.

And they have no excuse for it. Trump announced in advance of the election just about everything he's done since taking office.
