How was Joe Biden forced out of a presidential race for a disastrous debate and for looking frail and for confusing names, but this man, one of the most ignorant men to ever be elected to any office, allowed to continue on as president and treated as a normal, serious leader??
Trump: "Enrichment doesn't mean, like, air conditioning, and it doesn't mean to jack up your car. Enrichment is a bad word."

Holy shit. India’s Foreign Secretary just shut down Trump’s claim he brokered peace between India and Pakistan. Modi told him: “There was never any discussion… about a trade deal or U.S. mediation… India has neither accepted mediation, nor does it do so—and never will.”

The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands.

Ok. LONDON!! I’ve been home for a bit over a week, now. Time to recover. Time to reflect. My 45th was the best birthday I’ve ever had. This was one of my favorite trips I’ve been on. London was exactly what I had imagined it would be. Yet the trip was so much more. I need to narrow down pictures!!!
