"More than two months ago I wrote a preview of what a so-called “nationalist” government would do to American business interests. I projected that America’s abandonment of global leadership, diplomatic norms, and trade deals would outweigh any “pro-business” environment promised. In addition to damaging our nation’s image around the world, it would also lead to deals lost, customers going elsewhere. That is unfolding predictably and tragically."________
The French Canadian who has been charged with six counts of first degree murder in the mass shooting at a Quebec City mosque appears to be (surprise!) a far right right nut-job. Tell me again how those Muslim refugees are the ones we should be afraid of.

One Hot Mess on the Privilege of Not Having a Leftist Libtard Snowflake Temper Tantrum. "Snowflake," like "Social Justice Warrior," is the new insult-turned-moniker for the left. They call me...Snowflake.

The President's first military action - one that President Obama refused to approve - didn't turn out as he planned.
"President Donald Trump personally approved a US commando raid in Yemen that left one elite serviceman dead and may have killed an eight-year-old American girl, the US military has told the Guardian."It's not as easy as you think, Mr. President, and a failure to listen to the intelligence community can have devastating repercussions. But I'm sure he'll claim it was "a tremendous victory" with no need for further investigation or reflection.

Thomson-Reuters lays down their strategy for dealing with the President and his Cabal of Racist, Blundering Numpties. Good advice at any time.

You know who needs a High School level civics class? The 32% of Americans who believe you have to be Christian in order to be truly American. Fuck you, 32% of Americans. No, really - fuck you. I didn't serve this nation in uniform for seventeen years so you motherfuckers could spit on the 1st Amendment and tell me I'm not "truly an American."
This offends me deeply.

NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr. tweeted words of support for refugees, since he believes "America is created by immigrants." Not a NASCAR fan, but dude - respect.

One Hot Mess imagines the Twitter account the late Frederick Douglass would create in response to the President's ridiculous comments about him during the Black History Month kick-off. Internet GOLD, you guys.
________
In an astounding turn of events, Kellyanne Conway makes up a terrorist attack out of whole cloth to justify the President's White Nationalist agenda. How can people still believe this administration about anything? Are they willfully stupid, or what?
________
Apparently the President's approval rating is less than that of the terrible movie The Sex Lives of Potato Men. You can't make this shit up.
