I have always considered myself a Centrist. But the GOP have moved so much to the Right that they now consider the Center as part of the "far Left."

Your periodic reminder that “diets to treat autism” are BS. Autism is not a disease. Also many autistic kids (& adults) have GI issues, food sensory issues, &/or dietary allergies. Sometimes specific diets help THOSE ISSUES, and when autistic people feel better, they ACT like they feel better. 1/2

Trump (and RFK) do not actually care about autism or autistic people. Whatthey care about, respectively, is claiming to have "cured" it and making money off of it.

He really did
"He said, 'You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you.' He said that," Stahl told the audience, adding,
"So, put that in your head for a minute."
The audience, and Stahl's fellow panellist Woodruff did take a moment to process the remarks.
"We're all absorbing what you just said,"
Woodruff said in reaction.

Donald Trump is a shameless pathological liar who never takes responsibility for his obvious failures. Exhibit A: Iran. Exhibit B: The reflecting pool. In the latter case, the fact that people have been arrested as “vandals” so he can shift the blame off himself is disgraceful.

Trump nominating Blanche to be AG is the height of hubris. I doubt it will get to a vote. But if it does it will be a referendum on corruption that will stick to every Republican who votes for his confirmation. Blanche belongs on trial, not atop DoJ.
