I know that everyone calls it a ballroom, but in my head I call it a "palace". The Trump Palace may be just the ballroom now; he has 3 1/2 years to knock down the rest of the property (plus the "arch") and remake it in his own image.

The wording of the requirement confused me. Maybe you have to do the run, and the sit-ups, and the push-ups, all within the 14 minutes? That's what @chriswarcraft.bsky.social thought.

I wonder how much OANN and Newsmax and Fox will scan the crowd and zoom in on someone scary-looking. Kinda like how coverage of gay pride parades (used to be?) focused on that hairy guy with chaps.

And while the proportion of conservative writers may have changed, it's not like the Post was all-liberal until recently. George Will has been there since the Nixon Administration! Who would just be discovering that?

Remember when Judge Dale Ho blasted the Supreme Court for not respecting the work of district court judges? Wonder if he's mentioned that since.. www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-152-...
Bonus 152: Judge Ho, Due Process, and "Disrespect"
