  1. “A man’s character is most evident by how he treats those who are not in a position either to retaliate or reciprocate.” Paul Eldridge, 1948
    Trump steals from disabled vets and locks children in cages.

    1. It being Christmastime and all…

      Matthew 25:40-45 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

      40 And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’ 41 Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’

  2. It says more about our country that so many people here embrace and worship a charlatan and live in a fantasy land where everything the dear leader does is right, no matter what how repugnant, idiotic or insane it may be.

    1. There is an old saying, ‘lower than a snakes belly in a wagon rut.’ I think we are below that and headed down. Remember, do not just blame Trump. He may be the leader, but what is a leader without allies and followers?

  3. Only cowards are afraid of diversity. Racism is nothing but insecurity and fear. America has never been weaker than today under Trump.

  4. The Republicans want to regress back to a mythical mid 20th Century fantasy, and the Democrats want progress into confronting 21st Century realities so that America and the planet upon which she resides may have a viable future. It is time to make sensible choices.

  5. Whomever it is at the 11th Hour that creates and posts their YouTube videos make me so frustrated! They cut the video so it’s SO FREAKIN SHORT and then it’s The 11th Hour endcart, then it’s MSNBC’s endcart! I have started avoiding their videos! Because the other shows post videos of a decent length. 11th Hour folks please rethink this format! ✌️

  6. Agreed that a larger issue is before us. Is it retrospect that slavery and an unjust war were clearly at hand? The issue today takes so many forms around money influencing power.
