We may all be in hell
By David Futrelle
So Trump delivered a real barn cross-burner of a speech last night in Phoenix. Then police fired tear gas and flash-bang grenades at a crowd of protesters that was just standing around outside. And then other things happened. Let’s go to the Tweets.
No mention of Heather Heyer
Passing mention of troops he just deployed
Deep lamentation for the plight of "poor Jeffery Lord"
