Even in the context of a drug cartel, President Trump fawns over the elites and screws the working man.
New in PN: Trump follows through on an especially ugly campaign promise
"For years, Donald Trump has fantasized about lawlessly killing 'drug dealers.' Now he's making that happen even as he pardons actual drug kingpins."

For 2 years I was the producer of the legendary radio comedy team Lohman & Barkley on KFI in Los Angeles. I just recently found a chache of air checks of the duo from 1984-85. I'm planning to post some of these airchecks very soon on my site, ramblertown.com

Four of Trump's five children have an immigrant mother, and the one who doesn't is married to the son of two immigrants.
Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

WOW. I saw the news about Bolsonaro and I was curious what it costs to fly to Rio these days. Put in two days a week apart in March.
$485.
That's crazy! I flew to Rio in 1982, and it was just over $1000.
So I went ahead and booked it.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

This is such a routine story at this stage, including the second act: "my friends turned on me when I betrayed our shared ideals - so much for the tolerant left."
"Random Person Leaves the Left" is never not front page news on The Free Press.

A whole other form of partial and political justice. Trump pardons list of allies who worked to reverse his election loss in 2020. Many of them, especially Mark Meadows, know where the bodies are buried. A vile miscarriage of justice. Includes Rudy, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, & Ken Cheseboro.

Matosinhos is a town bordering Porto on the NW. Great restaurants and a nice beach town vibe. One of the places I'd like to retire to.
