Trump Watch June 8 2017

Day 140:

It’s Comey Day:

Watch Live:

All eyes are on the former FBI director, and what he will tell us about Trump we don’t already know.  Meanwhile the infrastructure crumbles, the rest of the world laughs at us, women get paid less, universal health care is not a thing, the war on drugs continues, and the earth slowly heats up….

We must be able to walk and chew bubble gum at the same time, our very future as a species depends on it.
