It’s Bubblelicious 0

Michael in Norfolk sums it up. Here’s a bit from his article:

Three things are consistent with Donald Trump: (i) he will lie incessantly, (ii) he cares only for himself and will happily throw under the bus, and (iii) he will claim any attempt to hold him accountable for crimes is a “witch hunt” or that he is being persecuted. The MAGA base is also consistent in that it (a) ignores objective reality and facts and (b) it keeps itself in the bubble of right wing media as a means to avoid facing the reality that it has been duped and continuously played for fools.

Thom hears echoes of the past in oue present.

To echo Maya Angelou, when someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Afterthought:

My father did not fight fascism in the Ardennes so that today’s Republican Party could embrace fascists.

Honest to Pete, if Ev Dirksen or Nelson Rockefeller came back today, they would be appalled at what their party has become. (Richard Nixon, maybe not so much . . . .)

Furrfu.

A Notion of Immigrants 0

Paul Krugman uses data and facts–remember data and facts?–to skewer the bigots’ arguments that immigrants take jobs away from American citizens. A snippet:

To the extent that there’s anything beyond raw xenophobia behind Trumpist hostility to foreign workers, it seems to be the view that America has a limited number of jobs to offer and that immigrants take those jobs away from the native-born. In reality, however, except during recessions, the number of jobs, and hence the economy’s growth, is limited by the available workforce rather than the other way around.
