Texas is reporting that the number of measles cases has risen to 198, an increase of almost 40 cases in the last 3 days. 23 people have been hosp. If you live in Texas or anywhere in the US, and you or your children have not been vaccinated, you should do that now. www.dshs.texas.gov/news-alerts/...

Zelensky found out what it was like to be a US governor in a blue state asking Trump for medical supplies during the pandemic. Or disaster relief after a wildfire or storm. It’s not his money, but he fully expects you to beg and plead for it and tell him how wonderful he is.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Far from trying to distract, he’s seeking to draw attention to the fact that, in his own (deranged, psychotic) mind, he answers to no one else—and, as he said earlier this week, cannot “violate any Law.” We disregard his words at our Constitution’s peril.
