I can't let the mention of Dante pass without showing a mapping I did of Trump's old criminal and civil court cases to the various levels of hell. Trump should hope there's no hell.😈

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Meet Peter, Achol and Evan, ages 10, 8 and 5. The reckless actions of the world's richest men are killing the world's poorest kids www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
