Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Trump in 2016 when Clinton called many of his supporters "deplorables": "The disdain that Hillary Clinton expressed toward millions of Americans disqualifies her from public service. You cannot run for president if you have such contempt in your heart for the American voter." (1)

Really hope this is a shout out to Trump’s House of Wings.

Brilliant ‘graph in this article.

Excerpt from article:

“They say they’re referring to me as a king. I’m not a king,” Trump said in a Fox News interview airing early Friday. He later departed for a $1 million-per-plate MAGA Inc. super PAC fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago. Protests are expected nearby Saturday.

Interesting: Earlier this year, Congress prohibited D.C. from spending roughly $1.1 billion of its budgeted money. There's been lots of questions about the exact impact that had, and now there's an interesting answer: it actually cost the city more money not having that money.

I hope his defense includes “these were declassified by President Trump before he left office.” And force Trump to testify.

What else is tariff revenue for if not to pay for government spending?

Did he think it was actually just going in his wallet?

Maybe even more remarkable: Indiana’s Media School fires staff member who objects to censorship.

How does media school justify its existence - “come here to learn how to work for state controlled media”?

“Driver” hits pedestrian. You know the word - it’s in the last paragraph.

Or maybe should you change the last paragraph to warn cars that there will be delays on the area?

What’s he going to do? Order games moved to Portland or Chicago? Or Tulsa, Omaha, and Boise?

The Portland frog twerking in front of the ICE officers and they start backing up is a delightful act of resistance.
