The first 10 minutes of tonight's Lawrence O'Donnell show are guaranteed to make your head explode

Too much to recap here. Essentially, Trump sent out a fundraising email before and after the speech, begging $500,000 from his base. for the "Official Border Wall" fund, and the fine print of the letter said that all money received would go to the Make America Great Again Committee, which is his re-election fund.

It was a campaign / fundraising speech, and the networks gave him free air time.

in their own country. Anyone else? That caught my ear and seems to be something the Democrats should make an issue about. The Trump administration cut this program...I guess because it was an Obama initiative? That seems like a great political fact that the Democrats should be using.

The American people see that the "Main networks" allowed TraitorTrump to lie.

Americans see the "main networks" are racists. How can you explain what they did to President Obama in 2014.

They gave him "A traitor" a free campaign AD.

How much would that cost?
