      Give me your tired, your poor,

      Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

      The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

      Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

      I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

    “If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”

    In case you didn't know who this is, this guy is the real deal. pit

    It is sort of interesting that he embodies the most extreme shit you could imagine... but he won't do it unless ordered. He needs a fuhrer and doesn't see himself as one.

    In his new book, Blowback: A Warning to Save Democracy from the Next Trump

    Worst use of blowback in a title I've ever seen. At least "Blowback: The Cost and Consequences of American Empire" makes sense even if its class analysis falls flat.

    To me, this guy has been the worst and most odious ghoul of them all for awhile now. The very sight of him sends shivers down my spine.
