For four long, embarrassing, tortured years, Donald Trump has gotten away with being a virulent racist. He's gotten away with it mainly because the party he purports to represent has consistently ignored, laughed off, refused to comment on, or...
I suppose in a way that this should be refreshing. At least this woman isn't candy coating anything and I admire that greatly. Here's the set up. As you are aware, three Democratic representatives of the Tennessee state government peacefully...
Ben Carson is one of the biggest paradoxes not only in the Trump administration, but in humanity as a whole. He is the textbook definition of an idiot savant. There is no other way to explain the fact that...
