THIS is how the media should be responding...

Why? Why? Why?

Because he’s insane. Because he’s venal. Because he’s a malignant narcissist. Because he’s a sociopath. Because he has a fragile ego. Because those around him exacerbate and play to those traits to advance their own interests. Because CEOs and investors do likewise to fill their coffers. Because to some people, whether he is insane or malevolent or repugnant or not matters less than whether his actions will feather their nests, increase their power.

Because they, the billionaires, the Epstein class, are the warped demigods on the Olympus of the global economy. They play their games and the consequences for the little people down below, the consequences for us, hardly matter a whit.

—David Rothkopf, Need To Know

A date which will long live in infamy.

Humpty Drumpfty

All the executive orders and Twitter tantrums he used to spread fear
Couldn't make the rest of the world disappear.

The darkest day for the United States since the Civil War
