Just a reminder that the few remaining experts at the CDC's food-borne illness division identified Taylor Farms as the source of the cyclospora outbreak very early on, but because the owner of Taylor Farms is a big Trump donor, he was able to prevent a recall for weeks as thousands fell ill.

Trump says he "won all 87 counties in Oklahoma" in each of the last 3 presidential elections (Oklahoma only has 77 counties) – and he's "really going to Oklahoma to thank 'em". Trump's ego will only allow him to campaign to MAGA-friendly audiences. He's on the edge of Narcissistic collapse.

So is he just going to keep running ads until election day and then courts rule they are illegal sometime in December?

Premorbid Trump: Average intelligence. (Which is at least one standard deviation from any other president). Poor basic academic skills from untreated learning disabilities. Executive functioning weakness, esp flexible problem solving & meta cognitive skills. MMPI high scale 4 (psychopathic deviant)

The Republican politicians who are not deranged are even more evil than the ones who are. The sane ones know Trump is a madman who poses an existential danger to all of us and they're happy to make a few bucks off of it.

We already have an AI kill switch: cut power to servers. Really want to talk existential threat? Fine. We humans have many ways to blow things up. Like data centers. Panicky discourse assumes the first priority is protect tech company investments and expand their businesses. But why should it be?

Tomorrow mainstream media outlets will report on the “Trump Dividend” and not on his clear psychosis and mania. And some people will vote for Republicans because they believe a “$5000” will be deposited in their bank accounts.

That's not how executive orders work and that's not how naming things work and this isn't how political reporting should work either. This event should be covered, yes, but as another sign of the president's steady descent into complete ineffectiveness and utter insanity.
