This is a cracker of an article

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/book-party/wp/2017/09/22/is-trump-mentally-ill-or-is-america-psychiatrists-weigh-in/

In his new book, "Twilight of American Sanity,"psychiatrist Allen Frances asserts that Trump is not mentally ill — we are. "Calling Trump crazy allows us to avoid confronting the craziness in our society," he writes. "We can't expect to change Trump, but we must work to undo the societal delusions that created him." And those delusions, Kurt Andersen contends in"Fantasyland," have been around for a long time. "People tend to regard the Trump moment — this post-truth, alternative facts moment — as some inexplicable and crazy new American phenomenon," he writes. "In fact, what's happening is just the ultimate extrapolation and expression of attitudes and instincts that have made America exceptional for its entire history."

Weiner is going up the river for 21 months.

Such a f**king idiot/sc**bag, and such a waste of a career.

Of course.

What's the young kid he included in one of the photos going to think about all this as he grows up?

At least the (ex?) wife, Huma, can decide for herself on accompanying him through all of this.

Donnie Dickhead's pick to win the Alabama GOP Senate runoff Luther Strange lost last night.

He then went on and deleted 3 tweets he posted yesterday encouraging people to vote for him and claiming it was his endorsement that had him soaring in the polls.

   American corporations would see their tax rate cut below many of their counterparts elsewhere, under a sweeping White House and Congressional plan that aims to slash the corporate tax to 20 per cent.

You do know that US corp tax rates are among the highest in the developed world?

Bill Clinton is even in favor of lowering them, having been the one to jack them up to 35%

Most don't pay 35% and profits as a % of GDP are already are record highs
on the back of wage repression, Whitey
The US will go down the toilet.
You can always go back to Mayo I spose
