Trump Finds New Tone After Controversial Post
Will any of the reporters who credulously peddled the "rogue staffer" story issue retractions or burn their anonymous sources? Don't print lies in the newspaper
BREAKING: Trump says he 'didn't make a mistake' with his racist video post.
Q: "A number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do?"
Trump: "No, I didn't make a mistake."
He adds later: "I guess it was a take off on the Lion King."

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice

This evening, Radio 4 had a programme about the 50th anniversary of the release of Taxi Driver, followed by a programme about the 100th (approximately) anniversary of the publication of Mrs Dalloway.
So now I’m picturing Travis Bickle driving round listening to a show about 50 years of Mrs Dalloway.
