putting trump's name not just before but above kennedy
Breaking News: Workers began adding President Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center, despite no action by Congress to legally rename it. This sparked outrage among the Kennedy family, since it was built to be a living memorial to the 35th president.

so my personal theory is that all the futurist talk about how warfare will be robots in the future is wrong; we'll have just as many crewed vehicles but the battlefield/airspace will be much more crowded because each of them will have a half-dozen uncrewed pals

We caught up with one of the kids who sang on 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.' He's 72 now
Dave Willat was just 11 years old when he showed up for what he thought would be a routine church choir practice in 1965. He and his fellow singers ended up making history.

For all the financial losses the Trump family has inflicted on its investors, the president has still managed to double his net worth over the last 24 months to around $6 billion. That's some next-level hucksterism. (via Bloomberg Opinion)
Trump Media Is a Loser in a Year Full of Winners
Investors who put their faith in Donald Trump's publicly traded media and technology company are among the biggest losers in a stock market that rallied from Amsterdam to Sydney this year, proving the peril of riding the coattails of a huckster with a history of running businesses that go bust.

政府高官は１８日、記者団に対し、「日本は核（兵器）を保有すべきだ」と発言した。日本を取り巻く安全保障環境が厳しさを増す中、独自の抑止力を強化する必要があるとの文脈で語った。一方、政治的コストが高く、国民的議論も熟していないことから、高市政権下での核政策見直しは「難しい」とも指摘した。

I have a suggestion but it will require quite a bit of postage to london
When I’m in the US it still mildly surprises me that almost nobody knows that a country of 40 million has permanently pulled US products, especially liquor, from store shelves in response to Trump threats. There’s a national debate about what to do with all the no-longer-sold US booze
Canada is figuring out what to do with its stockpiles of US alcohol. I suggest they save it, and give it away for free, for the global party coming up soon.

he's very beatable in a scenario in which he unconstitutionally runs for a third term
Trump running for a third term with a fatigued electorate and a 30% approval rating, at age 82, too tired to rally like he used to - my only point here is that this is a scenario he is obviously very beatable in.
