Fucking NY Times! [View all]

Fuck their cheerleading.
From today's email newsletter.

Democrats may not approve of Trump’s targets — foreign aid and consumer protection agencies — or the potential constitutional crisis he initiated when he tried to eliminate them. But some Democrats might envy the speed at which he cut through red tape. After all, liberal lawmakers have for years complained about bureaucracy that moved too slowly and rules that stifled their ambitions.

America might not approve of Hitler's targets, Holland and France--or the potential war crimes they initiate. But American's might envy the speed of his Blitzkrieg to cut through the defenses of peaceful countries. After all, hasn't America been just as aggressive in trying to take over the World.
