Vindman to retire from military after "retaliation" from Trump impeachment

I remember a vague period, growing up, where I noticed that the political ads had switched from congenial to attack. That still bothers me, like when Elton had a hit where the chorus was "the bitch is back." A line got crossed and we weren't goin back.

In rough terms, 1/3rd of the country would follow him over a cliff, half of the country find him to be somewhere between worthless and Satan, and the rest don't care.

Thoughts on the book will be "Deep State Hoax", "No Shit", or "Blah, blah, blah".

No...the book will have no impact.

Donnie cheats and has daddy issues. Who knew?

I wonder if his niece's book will have any impact with anyone? Doesn't seem like Bolton's did.
Neither appear to have any actual new information, maybe just a little more backstory. Fred Sr. sounds like a real piece of work.

I'm bothered by the general switch to wearing your opinions boldly (somewhat both sides) on cothing, stickers, flags, banners... It's a bit 'in your face' and not really the first thing I want to know about you. It feels like a pronouncement of "if you don't align here, don't bother", which I see as a big part of our overall problem.

Maybe I'm just jealous because my views are more nuanced and don't easily fit on a t-shirt.

I am so done with this lying, incompetent, cruel, bigoted, divisive administration overseen by someone who couldn't handle manning the exact change lane on a turnpike.

Each day we get buried in an ever growing pile of sh*t that never seems to end. If we think we have seen the worst... I don't think we are even close if Trump got re-elected for another 4 years. If this is the restrained Trump, God only knows how much more he could burn the house down in another 4 years.

Don't worry, I am aware that there is nothing particularly insightful above...  

...just needed to vent a little today and to ponder:

I've had a largemouth bass bust my line
A couple beautiful girls tell me, "Goodbye"
Trucks break down, dogs run off
Politicians lie, been fired by the boss
It takes one hand to count the things I can count on
No, there ain't much, man, that ain't ever let me down
Longneck ice cold beer never broke my heart
Like diamond rings and football teams have torn this boy apart
Like a neon dream, it just dawned on me, that bars and this guitar
And longneck ice cold beer never broke my heart

The first T-shirt I ever sold online that wasn't something I did for a specific person, just put it on CafePress to see if people would find it, was "My Mama's for Obama." I put it up there and promptly forgot about it. When I logged into CafePress a year or two later, I had a few hundred dollars waiting for me.

But yeah. I'm not sure I've ever seen multiple roadside stands in every town in my state, all hawking bootleg political merch.

Mary Trump’s book says the president practices ‘cheating as a way of life’

It is Trump who places himself outside America. King understood that in perfecting the American creed, “it is an historical fact that privileged groups seldom give up their privileges voluntarily. Individuals may see the moral light and voluntarily give up their unjust posture. ... We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” Trump wants obedience, not justice; he stands on the side of oppressors (current and past), not on the side of the oppressed.
