Scary. I do fear for this country. And when I read stuff like this I'm glad Trump tweeted what he did.

It really bothers me that the phrase "far ____" is about 9:1 used in context of the right side of the political spectrum, as if the left doesn't have their fringe websites.

I'm struggling with this board these days.

I've been here since the start but every time I come here I just get depressed.
