At the end of the day, do you really think it matters to Trump which subordinates gets shuffled off down the road? They’re replaceable. Pawns. Lawn gnomes at his fasci-garden party. Break one, he’ll just buy more. His loyalty ends when their usefulness ends. Bongos, Noem, Miller, Bovino, whoever.

Just a reminder that it was only 4 days ago that Trump caused an international furor by denigrating the service of allied combat veterans. Think of all the chaos and mayhem since then in just 4 days. The sheer volume of it is meant to exhaust us and numb us. We mustn’t let it.

Videos verified by The New York Times show Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday, was holding a phone, not a gun, when the agents took him to the ground and shot him. In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds.

Federal authorities said the slain man, Alex Pretti, had approached agents with a gun. But videos show Mr. Pretti was holding his phone, not a weapon, when they pulled him to the ground.

Another promise broken. We have to stop taking Trump's claims at face value and start looking at the results. This Administration isn’t delivering for American workers.

So there is some scientific literature looking into cayenne and its active spicy compound, capsaicin, as a topical pain reliever. And there can be "spicy receptors" (TRPV1 channels) in your skin that respond to these compounds too.
But all these players are likely doing is making spicy gym socks.
