    The culture war doesn't distract us from the class war; it directs us to it. —

  4. Listening to an older #RachelMaddow podcast and a recording of Spiro #Agnew loudly and publicly insisting on his innocence, shortly before he was forced out of office.

    Wow, so glad we all learned out lesson from that era and will never again put blatantly corrupt #Republican politicians in positions of power!

    IMO, it started with the rotten-to-the-core apples #Nixon and #Agnew + the most successful, #Reagan.
