The best description of Trump's leadership yet:

"Trump reacts to news, the way a Roomba reacts to walls."

Just your regular reminder ALL this crap would stop almost completely if literally a handful of Republican senators or representatives joined the democrats.
But they're ALL complicit right now in the destruction of US democracy, science, education, economy, and respect.

Trump shouldn't be calling a state of energency.

He is the emergency.

Time to say the emperor has insufficient intelligence, empathy and honesty to look after the wellbeing of others.

I'm not just referring to #penguins I'm talking about running a country.

Remember, Trump is imposing these tariffs only because the Republican Congress is allowing him to.

@perkinsy
I am in the first group- don't even scan the headlines of US papers. I read more in the Guardian, al Jazeera and BBc. And read The Atlantic cover to cover because articles are thoughtful, factual and not click-baity headlines.
Point is, the problem is with the journals.
