In the midst of the foulest decay and putrid savagery, this spark speaks to you of beauty, of human warmth and kindness, of goodness, of greatness, of heroism, of martyrdom, and it speaks to you of love." - Eldridge Cleaver

IRONICALLY, IF TRUMP LOSES IN 2020, IT COULD BE BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LIE ENOUGH

This *Washington Post* story reminds us of one aspect of the 2016 Donald Trump campaign that he's unlikely to replicate this time around: *Trump’s response to the Pulse shooting in 2016 gave false hope about his LGBT agenda* It was Donald Trump’s response three years ago to a deadly shooting in a gay nightclub that gave some hope that he would be a different type of Republican leader on LGBT issues. When Omar Mateen, an American who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, gunned down 49 people on June 12, 2016, at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, it became the deadliest mass shooti... more »
