    Can’t wait to read ’s written response to this Boots Riley talk at the Shed tonight. It’s the most disjointed and vapid “lecture” I’ve ever attended.

    The President is very obviously laying the groundwork to abuse his office in order to sic the power of the state on his political opponents. It's as corrupt as it gets.
