    In 1933 Germany entered a new era in which ideological fastasy of Carl Schmitt and other identity obsessed Germans would replace reality. Now America can take a trip away from reality into a new age. Or realize that he is the most dangerous president ever.

    Remind me Joni, how many candidate names are on that Iowa GOP ballot? Get ready to get the boot in November. Americans are sick of our government being run like the Politburo.

    At a time when ideological extremists disparage the notion of objective truth, Trump's Superbowl ad is the epitome of lies. What an insult to anyone working for criminal justice reform.
