Greece is harboring 60,000 refugees
Many if not most are Moslems
The Greek economy is itself fragile
And yet they have done what they can to feed and shelter their guests
An unusually cold winter accompanied by much snow has made this a more difficult task
Greek Battleships are being prepared to house some of these unfortunates
In this great land, which has so much to offer
Can we do less Mr.Trump
Ryan and McConnell just had a joint press conference. I caught about a minute of it (before my retch reaction started to kick in) and they packed a stunning amount of disinformation about Obamacare into the space.
You have to give these guys credit. They get their narrative, they memorize it, and everyone repeats it every damn chance they get until our brains bleed.
The Dems?
..... crickets .....
Jamie, thanks for posting this. I have to take deep breaths thinking there will be 4 years of this. Will he ever stop talking and acting like a fool I wonder.

You know it, I know and in this forum you're talking to the choir.
In Trumpland, Trump does not lie. There its understood and known that its the lying press making up lies to make it look like Trump lies.
ps - Anyone want to build a bridge to the Trumpists? Easy. Acknowledge Trump is always right, the he is draining the swamp. Acknowledge that Obama is a Kenyan born Muslim who actively tried to destroy our country.
Has anyone mentioned Kellyanne's deplorable fiction of the Bowling Green Massacre?
I like to think of this list as having two purposes:
One is just to keep track of all the B.S.for the sentient.
Well some of it anyway.
The second is sort of as a coarse map into the brain of the Trumpist. Each one of these alt-factettes will serve as little seeds in their brains, which will grow into entire stories about the greatness of the Trump. Until their heads are entirely full of sh!t.
Then we can really build some bridges, amirite?

We might need a whole other category for that one. "Lie" does so little to capture it's essence.

A woman named Suzan Eraslan puts a ton of effort into this every day. She chronicles, in list form and with documentation, all the anti-democratic actions of this administration. This is very important work. She is taking donations to keep it going.
the navigation for the site is kind of funky though. No easy way to get back to the list from within the site itself, that I can (or can't) see anyway.

If we haven't figured it out yet, he's a hustler. He's the same dude that swindles people out of their homes with bogus mortgages. He's the same dude that runs scams on the stock market in boiler rooms. He's the same dude who has one family in Astoria and another one in Sunnyside. A hustler.
which person are you referring to here?
At the bottom of each individual date page you can click on her name. That brings you back to the list. Also, 'next' and 'previous' arrows are on the right and left of each page.
But you're right. Navigation back to the landing page for list of dates should be more obvious. You can message her to let her know.
