This is the most extreme, irresponsible, and un-Constitutional sentence Trump has yet uttered in office.

"We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition."

WE'RE GOING TO RUN THE COUNTRY.

NEW: A mass propaganda event is about to engulf the US news cycle and what, if anything, survives it will be a lesson for our times.

But it’s what the rest of the world does now that’s key. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

This AFTER remains of a 30 ft boat washed ashore, with burned bodies inside & packages (small) of what residue tests establish was nothing more than Marijuana; which is legal for recreational use in several states. It's just murder.

I frequently criticize the Times on various fronts. With great size/power comes great responsibility. But it's always important to remember that really only they have the resources and capacity to put stuff like this together. These are like genome maps of the Trump corruption machine.

How sick must a man be that on the day a family loses a 35-year-old mother, daughter and sister from cancer he aggressively attacks the family with relish?

The graffiti on the building says "The Donald J. Trump And" above the official "The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts" in the wrong font, size, leading, and with poor line spacing. DJT's is smaller than JFK's, of course. Er, the font size. SAD!

My take on people wearing face masks is very simple:

It's not my face, so I mind my own business.

That's it. That's the whole take.

Thinking back to this episode for no particular reason
Was asked in an interview today if it is normal for POTUS to publicly acknowledge a covert action finding.

My response: “No, that’s not normal.”

We can regurgitate regime propaganda on Nigeria or we can see what’s really happening. Trump is working with the opposition party led by a Christian to try and topple the gov led by Muslim to take their oil and lithium for Trump’s billionaire buds.

No one says to legit business owners, "hey I see there's an underground market selling toxic knock-offs of your product: how will you incorporate the toxic product AND protect your customers against its harms?" But apparently it's fine to make this suggestion to educators with respect to AI.
