Went to The #Odyssey last night. Had a great time seeing an ambitious movie that largely pays off on what it's trying to do. Worth seeing.

Now, all of a sudden, #Trump is concerned about #airquality ? No, he's only concerned about looking like The Biggest Bully on the Block. Also, the biggest idiot.

The #Trump administration has finally come up with an odd rationale for banning #windfarms : they confuse radar, so drones can sneak past them and do drone things, so clearly they are an existential #nationalsecurity risk.

Next up: "You know, when drones fly just above trees in national forests, it confuses radar, so ..."

I am not a fancy-talking diplomat or politician, but this sure looks like a shake-down to me -- basically, charging all shipping through the Strait of Hormuz a 20% tariff to pay for the costs of keeping the Strait open which were largely necessitated by Trump's actions in the first place.

Must be nice to have a great big navy to extort people with.

#Trump continues to fire anyone who's not a zealous supporter or deep-pocket contributor, as enabled by #SCOTUS. In this installment, he's basically emptied out the #ElectionAssistanceCommission leadership. That "independent" agency certifies voting machines, maintains the national mail voter registration form, etc.

Gee, why would he be doing that just a few months before a critical #midterm?

Getting things, and people, and places mixed up is, I speak from experience, a not-so-early sign of some form of #dementia.

Recalling the dictum that everything about Team #Trump, including the boss, is about #projection, it's illuminating how much effort they put into asserting Biden's mental unfitness and how it was being covered up by his cronies and power-mad hangers-on.

A good friend of mine spent several patient minutes explaining, procedurally, how Trump's call could have had no effect on the re-evaluation of #Balogun's red card.

Even granting that, the stench of corruption around both #Trump and #FIFA make even ultimately disproven accusations seem credible.

Ironically, the best thing that happened to the US #Soccer Team was losing the Belgium, as any overall wins would have been tainted by Trump's inappropriate actions.

"Will no one rid my team of this troublesome Red Card?"

The #Trump claim that he didn't tell #FIFA what to do regarding #Balogun doesn't pass the laugh test. *Making the call* is influencing. As he well knows.

But, then Trump is an entitled brat who exercises power -- hard and soft -- without a care for how it looks, just so long as he gets what he wants.

How incredibly fragile #MikeJohnson 's sense of citizenship must be if folk who look or sound or act differently from him being still considered citizens weakens the meaning of being an American.

Frankly, I find Johnson himself more of an insult to what means for me to be an #Americam #citizen than some kid born here of unlawful immigrants.

The #DearLeader 's plans are, of course, genius, perfect, divinely inspired, so anything that goes wrong must, by definition, be the plotting of the tools of the Great Antifa Satan. QED.

Views expressed by others are, well, theirs. I reserve the right to delete them, but it’s usually better to let the marketplace of ideas hold sway, even if some packages are long past their expiry date.

Stuff I link to? Sometimes it’s because I agree with it. Sometimes because I disagree with it, but want to point (mockingly, in some cases) to my sources regardless; I have a liberal arts background; I believe in citations. And linking to stuff is what the Internet is about.

Mmmm … BACON …
