An actual quote from this article:
Steven Cheung, the White House communications director... said that the president “is a virtuoso and his musical choices represent a brilliant palette of vibrant colors when others often paint in pale pastels.”
“I have a high aptitude for music. Can you believe that? That’s why I love music.”

That’s right. He could have been a virtuoso, big musical brain and all, but his mean old dad never allowed him to pursue his Broadway dream. And so, we’re losing our democracy because white guys won’t get therapy.

The president, who recently took over Washington’s major performing arts center, reportedly said that he had not been encouraged to develop his musical talents.

World wide the reality is that nothing significant will change economically for the common man until governments of the people start to redress the elephant in the room, close the tax loopholes used by corporations and high net worth individuals and families, tax wealth.

Not a great time to be illiterate in Arkansas, FFS.
Arkansas truck driver says they're stopping people at the weigh station and asking drivers to read & write a piece of paper in English.

Those who can't are asked to pay a $5,000 fine, lose their license, & are arrested.

Right through the period where the world has been - falteringly and much too slowly! - coming together to act on climate change, Australia has quadrupled it exported climate harm from selling coal and gas!

This is a deeply unserious country.

This administration is truly unhinged:

“The FBI has told Citibank that recipients of EPA climate grants are being considered as potentially liable for fraud. That is, the Trump administration wants to criminalize work on climate science and impacts,”
