Yet we are apparently all that stands between you and a meeting room violently redecorated with blood and gore. Sometimes I worry about you, Ethel.

Logical. You voted for a guy whose sadistic henchmen take children away from parents and put them into cages. Makes it real hard for the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave to criticize the human rights situation in other countries, even though that has always been a popular All-American pastime.

A rant a day keeps the doctor away.

A proven method to keep stress levels down and happiness up is listening to hard & heavy music.

Remember I am on the side of "They don't belong here send them home", but the separation of the little kids from family was over the line. In theory today Trump signed the executive order to make them stop.

Now those who compared this to Nazism I think need a better understanding of Nazism then they have now.

Knock knock.

No one.
No one who?
You're experiencing a hallucination. There is no knocking. Reality is a lie.

Lady Capital, sadly. Lady Voldemort would be much more amusing.

I'm imagining her being played by Ralph Fiennes in a wig.

Young children were murdered soon after arriving at the extermination camps of the Third Reich, what the Trump administration has been doing comes closer to what Franco and the similar fascist juntas in South America did. Not exactly a flattering comparison either, even though Franco's Spain and all those junta regimes were stalwart American allies.
