Yes, and a rainbow brightened the sky as that name was removed from the Kennedy center. Hummm. Is this a judgement?

Parker Palmer helps us see how ugly and absurd our current president is:

“On Sunday, June 14, which happens to be POTUS’s birthday, that octagonal cage will be the site of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. It’s a little-known fact that America’s Founders called for exactly this 250 years ago, as seen in this note they made during the weeks leading up to the Declaration of Independence:

“Be it decreed that on June 14 two and a half centuries hence, seating for thousands will be set up at and near the presidential residence, along with an elevated cage, so that We the People can be reminded of what makes America great by watching a gaggle of scowling, tattooed brawlers do their best to lay their opponents low by battering each other’s bodies with harsh blows from their hands, fists, elbows, knees, and feet. Thus shall we prove to the world that this country fulfills the Biblical call to be a ‘city set on a hill’ as a light to the nations. Thank you for your attention to this matter! —Your Founders.”

The whole article is terrific. Find it here:

Jennifer, Reuben of the contrarian is right. The jig is up – everyone now can see what Trump tries to do by making claims with absolutely no evidence. 
“With time, more voters, media outlets, public officials, and the courts have figured out that MAGA’s wild accusations are the fever dreams of losers desperate to excuse defeat. Trump’s early test runs (e.g., Fulton County, Georgia) of his election denialism risk inoculating the public against his specious claims. As Hasen noted, “[T]hanks to Trump himself, anyone paying any attention knows that California’s vote count is notoriously slow, that the ‘blue shift’ favoring Democrats routinely happens and that Trump has produced no evidence to support his claims.”
