Perhaps you, like me, are wondering just exactly how many Americans aren’t all that impressed with the spectacle of Moscow Mitch and Stable Genius using the Constitution as toilet paper. You know, we’re sorta dim out here in the weeds, but we’re not that dim. We can see when a sham of a charade that’s covering up a whitewash is being stuffed up our tailpipes. We can see when the fix is in.
A new poll by CNN shows just how aware we are that a Mega-Hosing is currently taking place. On the topic of witnesses at the Trial of Twitler, 69 percent say they want them, while 29 percent have their heads firmly tucked away in a place where methane levels are dangerously high. Surprisingly, even 48 percent of RETRUMPLICANS say they want witnesses. So yes, Mitch Trump, almost 70 percent of America is on to your horseshit. Enjoy your little exercise in fake “exoneration.” And we’ll see you in November. Assholes.

Everybody knows Ole Martin had A Dream. That speech is to MLK what “Imagine” is to John Lennon. But, of course, he said a lot more than that. For example:
“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him it is right.”
“If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.”
“Non-violence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.
“It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important.”
“A nation that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.”
“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”
“Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience, and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level. That’s the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system.”
