"Trump makes false claims about federal response as he campaigns in area ravaged by #Hurricane #Helene"

I.e., #Trump *lies* to victims of a natural disaster, to somehow make himself look good.

What an asshole.

"#Trump says ‘violent day’ of #policing will end crime"

Y'know, as a convicted criminal, I'm not sure I'd be encouraging the police to rough up, assault, or kill suspects, even for just one day.

But, no, as his campaign says, it's not a *real* policy proposal. Just another chunk of red meat / dopamine for his rabid followers, who love the idea of beating up "other" criminal suspects.

This man should be let nowhere near the White House, ever again.

A sad #RIP to Dame #MaggieSmith the delightful British actress, at 89.

Though better known these days for Harry Potter and Downton Abbey, she nabbed Oscars earlier in her 70-year career for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969) and California Suite (1978).

A hearty thank you, ma'am, for all the hours of entertainment you provided me.

"Why the circumstances surrounding Trump's new flip-flop seem familiar"

#Trump is a man without principles, just quid pro quo, transactions. Give him money, give him outward signs of respect, and he is yours to command.

And both wealthy donors, industry lobbyists, and foreign leaders know it.

What I don't understand is how #KrogerAlbertsons position is "We need to merge because each of us individually is too weak to compete successfully against Walmart and Costco and Target" ...

... while at the same time saying, "And to close the deal we will go ahead and spin off these outlets to avoid monopolies in areas, but we assure you that they will be able to complete successfully against us!"

"#Trump presses to change #Nebraska election law, in fight for a sole electoral vote"

What's remarkable here is how baldly it's being presented as a way to gain 1 #ElectoralVote. No high principle. No effort to come up with a reason why it will make things more fair, more democratic, more in line with what voters want. Just "change the law so I get more votes."

Disgusting.

#RTO mandates, like Amazon's, are always couched around and driven by what makes *management* feel comfortable. Employee preferences are automatically treated with suspicion, or, at best, dismissed as irrelevant.

#Republicans: "The #ElectoralCollege is sacrosanct because the Founders gave it to us, so messing with it for a #partisan cause is tantamount to treason."

Also Republicans: "Hey, #Nebraska, you should totally change how you award Electoral College votes because it would help our partisan cause."

"Trump launches another business full of potential risks and conflicts if he wins"

I'm not going to say that #grifting is Donald's only, or even primary, reason for being in politics (I blame massive narcissism and insecurity for that), but it's certainly a big reason.

Also, I can't imagine anything more horrifyingly risky (for customers, not the #Trump fam) than Trump-branded #crypto. Good Lord.

I could write a multi-toot screed about the state of the US electorate and #election2024 , but #TomTomorrow has already gone to the effort.

Just back from a week-long vacation up into Yellowstone and back down through the plains of SD, WY, NE.

And since we were in Nebraska, and so much brouhaha has been raised of late about #Runza ... we stopped at one to try it out.

I will not say it was life-changing, because it wasn't, but the car consensus is that it was tasty and worth stopping at again in the future ... should we be again in Nebraska.

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.
