My favorite thing about these is the disconnect between what he’s rambling about and the chyron at the bottom.
Trump: “I have beautiful calves. Did you know that? Meaty, muscular calves. They glisten in the light when I oil them up.”
Chyron: “Trump addresses meeting of firefighters’ widows.”

Trump: "The only time anybody could see those planes was when those bomb chutes open up, because it becomes totally un-stealth. You're going in, you go like this. As soon as it goes like this, for some reason the plane is totally visible. Not good. I watched it happening. I watched it go bing bing"

Just a shocking missed opportunity that this paper (a) develops a Bayesian approach to network community detection, tested on (b) Sampson’s Monastery Data—which is about conflict amongst a group of monks—but (c) is somehow *not* titled “Updating Your Prior”. www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~teh/researc...

I don't know, Aaron. I think we need to take this seriously. In fact, after surveying hundreds of years of history in the past few days, I've written an article assessing the originalist case here:

Oh. Cool. Just as the President is using every power he can to suppress dissent and stifle speech, @whitehouse.senate.gov and the @judiciarydems.senate.gov are trying to hand Trump a new tool to suppress speech online.
What a joke.

Despite huffing and puffing from Trump and his flying monkeys, a majority of Republicans joined with all the Democrats in the Indiana Senate to reject the proposed gerrymander. A fine day for Indiana, for fair districting, and for the future of the Republican Party if it is to deserve to have one.

As long as you don’t use an auto pen, it’s okay to have no idea whom you’re pardoning.
COLLINS: Today you pardoned the founded of Binance. Can you explain why you did that?
TRUMP: Which one was that?
COLLINS: The founder of Binance
TRUMP: I believe we're talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people. I don't know. He was recommended by a lot of people.

Recall that Trump's father was the child of immigrants, and that his mother and two of his wives were immigrants.
Trump on immigrants: "They send up their worst people. They send up people that are criminals. They send up people from jails. And the best ones they send are people that don't work very hard and that are on a social form of welfare."
