This is one of the ten people in the country who could put an immediate stop to ~90% of the things. Today. Just absolute Profiles in Cowardice.

“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!

He isn't stupid. To him, facts are irrelevant. An abuser's pattern:
1. Find something you want
2. Invent a reason why someone has treated you wrong and therefore hurt you
3. Use the fabricated reason as justification to take what you want and blame the other person for why you are now hurting them

'“As regards the Nobel Peace Prize, I have on several occasions clearly explained to Trump what is well known, namely that it is an independent Nobel Committee, and not the Norwegian government, that awards the prize,” [Norwegian Prime Minister] Mr. Store said.'

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize."

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Hundreds of Big Post-Election Donors Have Benefited From Trump’s Return to Office

impossible to remember now, but for most of his career Aaron Rodgers' reputation was that he was thoughtful, likable, and enjoyed facts so much they let him host Jeopardy
Going back over the Rodgers timeline, it occurs to me that he has hosted Jeopardy more recently than he has won a playoff game. (I actually gave him a pretty good review as host!) www.si.com/nfl/2021/04/...
Aaron Rodgers Fits Right in as the Latest 'Jeopardy!' Guest Host
Although it seems unlikely Aaron Rodgers will be tabbed as Alex Trebek's successor, the Packers QB looks like a natural so far in his stint as a 'Jeopardy!' guest host.

The ballroom will streamline the corruption so much!
REPORTER: The Capital Planning Commission is concerned the 89,000 square foot ballroom is going to dwarf the rest of the rest of the WH. Do you worry about that?
TRUMP: No no. People love the ballroom. We need it. If we would've had the ballroom today, we could've had all the oil companies there.

if a Democrat had said “I can’t wait to host the oil companies at my 90,000 square foot golden self-commemorative ballroom that I tore down the White House and solicited $300 million in bribes to build” it would literally be considered the worst scandal and gaffe in human history
