O’Donnell: Trump’s Allies and Family Only Support Him Out of ‘Fear’

In an almost five-minute rant Tuesday night, MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell tried to rationalize how Senator Lindsey Graham and Donald Trump Jr. could possibly support the President. O’Donnell’s conclusion was fear: “In the peculiar chemistry of Trump world, hate and fear sometimes combine to create public love and adoration. That seems to have happened to both Lindsey Graham and Donald Trump Jr.”

‘Hell Sounds Nice’: Lefty Twitter Damns Basic Christian Beliefs

Radical libs are spectacularly ignorant of Christianity, but this comes as a surprise to no one.

One of the worst things about the media in the Trump-era is the surprising amount of journalists who think that the history of bad things began on January 20, 2017. Nowhere, is this more evident than the situation at the border and Tuesday's edition of New Day on CNN was no exception.
