It's important to show voters that Trump doesn't lie to make their own dreams come true -- he lies to protect himself, to con rather than comfort them. bsky.app/profile/meid...
Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

I want a chorus of angry chants specific to our time and our evil King. Some suggestions I came up with while sleepless last night:
He gets rich; we get zilch.

Make lying wrong again; make America good again.

Bring back democracy; stop the new kleptocracy.

I'm eager to read this... but that's half a year away. Can't a big house like Norton bring it out faster than that? (I'm a fellow non-fiction author who has long been frustrated by slow production, but I think my publishers had better reasons.)

here are fire chiefs at those fires saying systems with substantially more water supply would have been "incredibly expensive," and, in another quote, no amount of water would have been enough. www.hcn.org/departments/...
Wildfires are too much for municipal water systems. In Los Angeles, firefighters tried anyway. - High Country News
Water systems aren’t designed for unlimited demands during wildland-urban interface fires.

The Ivies are truly a cesspool. It's stunning.

I can't picture citizens (in the past) letting officials spend the money for 5X the water system capacity and 5X the firefighting capacity (just to have it sitting unused for years waiting for this fire which few people believed would happen). Maybe they will now. It will be interesting to see.

What are you talking about? I've read hundreds or thousands of clear, plain-English public statements by scientists. Some are in this thread. Are you complaining that they also write scientific papers directed at other scientists?
