Trump has said the Iran war is almost over at least 60 times. It's been 212 days. 19 service members are dead, 800+ wounded, $43 billion gone. We counted every broken promise with @votevets.org.

if there's one thing we've learned from the history of popular music, it's that people don't want to hear the songs they like over and over and never form attachments to artists, but do want to hear a stream of new songs generated by no one that sound sort of like the songs they like, this is logic

What’s even wilder is how VT (where I live) & WY are such mirrors: tiny population, hard weather, heavily armed, little policed, rural mountain states that are big on hunting and make a big deal of their cow heritage but survive on tourism.

I imagine some of this kind of work, if maybe not as much, got done in other administrations. But you wouldn’t know about it. How can so many politicians not understand that politics involves making the work visible, with an emphasis on who it’s for, not who did it?

Trump’s decompensating because of failures on multiple fronts. Not one campaign promise has come to fruition. He can't even renovate successfully, even though building is his supposed expertise. 

Trump is so grandiose that he believes he can change reality just by saying it.
