contribute to put a contract out on tRump when they pass the hat for donations. They know how to do it, it's their specialty.

Our selfishness and cowardice is on display for everyone to see. I tend to be cynical as most New Yorkers are but the corrupt government , media and supposed industry leaders has exceeded my ability to keep up.

is it "corruption", or is it an obscenely rich and powerful ruling class (aka "industry leaders&quot flexing their muscle?

The difference in world news and current events. For quick local stories the Daily News and the Post. For worldview and in depth news the N.Y. Times. How times have changed.

Well, where Trump is concerned there's only ONE. And whether by disease, accident, 'act of God' whatever (don't care which) that day WILL come.

His actions, his followers, the effects of what he's done will certainly linger, but he'll be done.

Take comfort in that.
