Troubling article on the "MAGA" hat as symbol of racism, spreading beyond our shores:

Yeah. That's what I meant. I wonder how many people know about this dog whistle. Here it is.

CNN has reported that Trump told the Director of Customs and Border Protection to order his agents on the border to break the law and he will pardon him. Dictator. Here it is. He's ordering criminal behavior. Terrified. He's being emboldened by Barr who will let him do whatever he wants.
CALL YOUR SENATOR & ASK FOR IMPEACHMENT or ask them to do something about it.
They're trying to spin it as a joke. Right. My sister said Twitter has exploded.

bookfan, I fear it is too late. Dangerous precedents have been set, and it has opened the door for even more egregious acts in Trump's second term (and there will be a second term; Russia will see to that).
What I really don't understand, is how otherwise decent, seemingly intelligent people can still support this guy. My boss is an example of this. He's basically a nice guy, smart enough to run a community bank but kind enough to spend his vacation in Guatemala helping out at an orphanage, and yet he stands staunchly behind his man Trump. How? Why?
It boggles the mind.

Yeah sef - and this is the tipping point for me. I fear it's too late also. Trump has too much power.
I was just reading several articles which I can't find now. They were more or less about confirmation bias. In short, once people have made a decision about something they embrace anything supporting their belief & reject anything that doesn't support it. This may be a part of what's going on with some of the 41%.
