We are experiencing a level of dishonesty —“hate is love” , “War is Peace” , ” Guns equal safety” that it cannot be cheerfully ignored.We are past the point of being polite in the presence of intolerance,
The chicken has become a symbol of Trump’s unwillingness to release his tax returns. Is he chicken? November 18, 2017 was a Nation-wide protest against the Tax Bill.
