President Trump?

Democrats recoil at the thought. Liberals are horrified at the prospect of any Republican president, least of all one who is bigoted, xenophobic, and a misogynist. Trump is clearly pandering to the right wing base of the Republican Party. He is being supported by people like Ann Coulter and David Duke. He is being praised…

Everything We Ever Believed Is Wrong

I Used To Oppose The Death Penalty

No reason to kill innocent…
