Unmoored from reality, Trump has at times become a false prophet, too. He has been promising a 10 percent tax cut for the middle class, though no such legislation exists. And he has sounded alarms over an imminent “invasion†of dangerous “illegal aliens,†referring to a caravan of Central American migrants that includes many women and children, is traveling by foot and is not expected to reach the U.S.-Mexico border for several weeks, if at all. (snip)
Trump is campaigning as if his presidency were on the line — and in a way, it is. Should Democrats win the House majority, as public polling suggests, they probably would use their subpoena power to launch investigations into the president and his behavior and, perhaps, begin impeachment proceedings.
“All his bad characteristics get amplified when he’s in a crunch,†Murphy said. “He doesn’t have any allegiance to the truth or reality to begin with, so he’s drunk on crowds, in a corner and under great political pressure.â€

Hmmm.. couple of pretty large business closures today. Lowe's is closing 51 locations in the US & Canada, and yesterday Papa Gino's/D'Angelos (a pizza/grinder chain up here in New England) suddenly shut down over 50 locations without notice, filed for Chapter 11 and was sold to a new owner (local news is now saying they'll be closing 95 in total).
Tell me again how that economy is booming,

You know we live in a strange world when Axl Rose, one of the biggest & most notorious jerks in 80s rock history, is being less of a jerk than some of the people responding to his political tweets.

When we've been at such crossroads before, Americans have made the right choice. Not because we sat back and waited for history to happen -- but because we marched, and mobilized, and voted. We made history happen.
