Sounds to me like Obama being asked to provide his birth certificate. They continue to both side’s stories, and this is why people have left corporate media in droves.

Totally agree. I am not worried about presidential candidates at this moment, the best candidate will be revealed over time. At this point we should set the bar and demand more of our governors and local leaders.

Yes, it's true. Someone did take your job. And your healthcare, pension, wage hikes and life off a single income. It just wasn't immigrants, welfare recipients, queer people or women having abortions. If you want to know who took your money, it's the people with all the money.

We call out the newspapers when they use regimes talking points, maybe we should also call out individual journalists too. We need to push back on the pillars when they capitulate, and elevate them when they do the right thing.

You know how deep we have sunk into authoritarian rule when people call the DC military takeover, as assisted by red state governors sending their national guard troops, as a “distraction.” Complacent and dangerous thinking, we need to elevate the alarm, American people need to fight back.
