All men are frauds. The only difference between them is that some admit it. I myself deny it.

The true purpose of democracy is not to select the best leaders — a clearly debatable obligation — but to facilitate the prompt and peaceful removal of obviously bad ones.

I saw that one earlier, and I completely agree with it. I'm always amazed at cowardise by so many folks. And unfortunately, the Dumbasses are chock full of them.

I`m surprised the three justices picked by Trump did what they did, they were chosen because they were constitutionalists.

Constitutionalists, maybe - but moreso, a product of the educational system that confounds logic and honor.

Worst editorial cartoon ever, but I agree with the sentiments.

Well, there's a logical reason for that. He's a New Yawka, what more can you expect?!

Let's think about that. Personal space is one thing, NYers are much closer than almost any other region, where space is granted without crowding. There may be some personal ego from living in THE big city - but lately, coming from there means one needs to give an apology for the policies and politics. But being a bully isn't a part of that. Take Trump. He has been noted for his warmth and appreciation for his workers and acquaintances, treating them like family. The idea he is hard on his workers is fake news. Look at the many bills he sponsored to help the indigent slums, barrios, and ghettos to help the people and the many efforts to improve the employment rates for minorities. The one thing you notice about Trump is that he doesn't act like a door mat. You step on him, and he kicks back.

To Whom or to What do we return 2020?
Are those four fowls on the Supreme Court chickens or turkeys?
But matters should never have reached the Court; haven't we been saying all along that we do not want the Supreme Court to be a second legislature? The unwillingness to enforce the law begins before the court.
