Quote of the day

 "We need to gain perspective and see Trump for what he fully is: a wannabe tyrant who will abuse his authority to get what he wants; a narcissist who is incapable of or resistant to making informed decisions that affect the course of the United States; the center of a dangerous cult that espouses and is supported by complete lies; as if fabrication is his first language; a bully and a bigot; a man who is unqualified to be the steward of this nation that the presidency requires; a man who is untrustworthy and unfit to be our commander in chief." - Joe Walsh, F*ck Silence: Calling Trump out for the Cultish, Moronic, Authoritarian Con Man He Is

One point I disagree with: presidents aren't "our" commander in chief. They're commander in chief of the military, not citizens. The notion that a president is Commander in Chief of the country is corrosive to democracy.
