On the way to a friend’s house at 8 o’clock this morning, I stopped by a new place to grab a coffee. Employee: I’m sorry. We don’t open until 10 o’clock. Me: Isn’t this a coffee shop? Employee: Yes, but it’s also a bakery. Me:

Trump, allies use dinner shooting to press case for White House ballroom
A White House ballroom would be far more secure than any hotel facility, Trump says, as he and his allies argue that Saturday’s shooting bolsters their case.

Over the past week, the president posted an image of himself as Jesus, the vice president challenged the pope on Catholic doctrine, and the secretary of defense quoted the speech of a fictional hit man and presented it as scripture.

I wish more of our media coverage was focused on how utterly lost Trump is. He has no plan, no strategy, and his “leadership” is indistinguishable from your crazy uncle yelling at the TV.

Thanks to Donald Trump, gas is heading to $4 a gallon, and you have to show up 4 hours before a flight.

I was encouraged by how strongly the sentiment was shared that the right must be defeated. There are real and justified grievances, not to be brushed aside. But the shared sentiment was real. I did not get the same punitive vibe that some have in the US about wanting the right to win out of spite

The president, when asked about the survivors of the sex trafficking ring run by his best friend the pedophile, ignores the question and instead lashes out at the "young woman" who asked it, saying she never smiles and is someone to be ashamed of.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings. This can't be "reformed"
