Roy Cohn, the gift that keeps on giving.… BTW, “Gift” in German means “poison.”
Text Shot: Above all, Trump learned one very big thing from Cohn: that the veneer of morality in the American upper class is very thin. Cohn proved conclusively that there is no limit to its tolerance for corruption. Trump got that message—and so did Jeffrey Epstein.

Both industry and consumers welcomed the FDA's launch. Business recognized they needed such oversight to win and preserve consumer confidence. We have forgotten so much in the past 110+ years. -- And they wonder why some people sound pitchforky these days.

Trump told 9/11 families that he was rescued from the rubble of the World Trade Center -- an obvious and shocking lie. Here's how the New York Times reports it. This is like reporting George Wallace's "segregation forever" speech as "Governor speaks at inauguration. Some remarks controversial."
New York Times:
Trump Honors 9/11
Emergency Personnel in
Washington
President Trump awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously to a volunter firefighter who saved numerous people. He also added to a disputed account of his actions that day.

Another apt metaphor for this fecking administration. Maybe Dumpy Donny could give the clean-up job to his Florida guy who did such fine work on the Reflecting Pool. Or perhaps SecDef needs to fat shame the vessel or test its testosterone levels.
