Tell you what, Trump sending peopleâs kids to die in Venezuela to distract them from not being able to afford food is not going to be the winning strategy they think it will be.

At this point, anyoneâa university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democratâbending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

For my sonâs last soccer practice we played kids vs parents and while eight of us parents managed to beat 15 fifth graders 2-1, this morning I feel like someone beat me with a baseball bat while I was sleeping. Donât get old, kids.
