Then he says Paul Ryan is very happy because he will sign every bill Ryan gives him. We all know how much Ryan HATES Medicare/Social Security. What is The Donald to do? Break his promise to the people or break his promise to the Ryan?

All that responsibility. All that burden. All that blame just waiting to come down on him if he slips up. Poor guy. Not really.

January 21, 2017 was an historical day. Doubtful that it will be matched except, of course, for future worldwide protest marches against The Donald. He does bring people together against him. No one can deny that stat.

There is no FACTUAL proof because IT NEVER HAPPENED but as Kelly Conway said they use ALTERNATIVE FACTS. The small orange man can't get over LOSING the popular vote by millions so he just makes up stuff to justify it. The new normal. Welcome to The Donald world. Caveat Emptor.

This presidency is moving way past Orwell and directly into Kafka.“ . . . certain things are true. Elvis is dead. The icecaps are melting. And the Holocaust did happen. Millions of Jews went to their deaths in camps and open pits in a brutal genocide which was sanctioned and operated by the leaders of the Third Reich. There are some subjects about which two points of view are not equally valid.We are entering, in politics especially, a post-factual era in which it is apparently permissible for public figures to assert things without evidence, and then to justify their assertions by adding “Well, that’s my opinion” – as though that in itself was some kind of justification.
