Last night, Donald Trump, the adjudicated rapist sexual abuser who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, called a female reporter “piggy” for asking a question about the Epstein files. Party of family values, amirite.

One of the most frightening aspects of Trump's decision to bomb Iran is his willingness to ignore his own intelligence agencies, who say that Iran was not weaponizing their nuclear program. Reminds one of the "weapons of mass destruction" that Bush used to justify invading Iraq.
