Trump’s rallies wouldn’t be so offensive if he didn’t blatantly lie to his followers. For example, saying he was going to preserve pre-existing conditions when he’s trying to abolish everything about the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, or trying…
The importance of today’s lead-in headline, “Trump administration rejects California’s disaster assistance request for wildfires,” is understated if you don’t know the context. In simplistic terms, after the horrendous damage suffered by the state with out-of-control fires, it’s all…
