"...if you were to build a man who fit perfectly inside the wheel-house of the Trump lizard brain, you’d build a Vladimir Putin...."

Oh, ain't it a shame what we choose to ignore
What kind of monsters did our parents vote for?
With all of my anger I scream and shout
America, I love you but you're freaking me out

—The Mentzingers

Sometimes I check for my own pulse….just to make sure that what is happening is real, and not the sort of initial nightmare associated with a dirt nap. Our President recently said that Ukraine started the war with Russia, which is bit like suggesting that Canada sunk the Lusitania.

Two things here. Either the President actually BELIEVES that Ukraine started the war with Russia…..or he assumes his followers are so fucking stupid that they will believe him when he says it. Both scenarios are very bad.
