    That photo will follow that dumbass around forever. And I'm certainly happy to help.

    Trump is going to be so pissed when folks start comparing today’s marches to the size of his inaugural crowd.

    Great article on Stormy and the jiu jitsu she and her attorney are using on Trump.

    Stormy Daniels is crushing President Trump at his own game

    "One remarkable feature of Stormy Daniels' chess match with Trump is that shame — this White House's usual instrument against its adversaries — isn't working. Porn stars don't find shame especially useful, and Daniels is no exception. This poses a problem for the president: Daniels (aka Stephanie Gregory Clifford) is utterly unembarrassed about profiting off her connection to him. She's unembarrassed in general. As the president's most virulent defenders have come after her, she's parried their attacks with jokes that defang them. Cracks about her age earn GILF humor, cracks about her being a prostitute have her crowing with glee. She's so good at this that her attackers often end up deleting their tweets; it's just not worth it.

    The entire Trump playbook — imply that an enemy's motives are shameful, dishonest, and not what they claim — falls apart when they have no interest in seeming better than they are. Daniels is open about the fact that her motive is money. Just as Trump has always been. He's every bit as flummoxed by her shamelessness as others are by his. Rumors that Trump's attorney Michael Cohen might try to quash Daniels' upcoming interview with 60 Minutes smack of desperation (one is reminded, in fact, of Trump's opponents flailing in the primaries)."

    As well it should.
    The right's fear is showing, and it's not a good look. Several of those profane children specifically said they weren't interested in taking away anybody's blessed guns. They are interested in measures that the vast majority of the public supports. Yet that terrifies the right, which is so scared that it demonizes people who saw their peers murdered.

    They have no interest in that at all. Because the organizers have no interest in that. Emotions make for great TV, terrible policy.

    Banning assault weapons is terrible policy? Gun deaths fell considerably when these weapons were illegal. Strengthening background checks is terrible policy?

    Is that what these “kids” want?

    Also, gun legislation was just passed yesterday. Pay attention.

    Insufficient legislation. Did it ban assault weapons?
    "Kids" in quotes? I know it makes it easier for you to demonized them if you insist on ignoring dates on their birth certificates, but that's out of the NRA playbook. Congrats on common cause with a terrorist organization.

    You sound like you’re 14.

    I put that in quotation marks because they’re not behind this movement. They’re just being exploited by adults who are are afraid to be honest with the American people.
