 "Trump is often discussed as one of the worst presidents in modern American history, but it's important to remember that such a categorization is far too narrow. Donald J. Trump is one of the worst people in modern American history." - Matt Novak, "Trump's Vile Post About Rob Reiner Has Some Republicans Breaking Ranks"

Quote of the day

 "[Joseph Goebbels's] propaganda tactics have been, and are being, widely imitated in the twenty-first century by populist politicians from Donald Trump to Viktor Orbán to discredit and ridicule their opponents and sweep aside opposition to their rule, though they are surely less ideologically fanatical in their motivation. By using derogatory nicknames for his critics, by denying the legitimacy of opposition to his cause, by cynically refusing to accept the truth when it turned out to be inconvenient, and by creating powerful but ultimately imaginary menaces to society that threaten to destroy it unless countered by the power of a supposedly great leader, Goebbels set an example that was to be followed long after his death." - Richard Evans, Hitler's People: The Faces of the Third Reich
