ā€œThe great enemy of truth is very often not the lieā€“deliberate,
contrived and dishonestā€“but the mythā€“persistent, persuasive and
unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We
subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy
the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

ā€“ John F. Kennedy, Commencement Address at Yale University, June 11 1962

You guys, five minutes ago Trump revoked the press credentials of the Washington Post. Never heard of that before. If he thinks thatā€™s going to slow them down he might be mistaken. Donā€™t know what precipitated it, might be a fun story theyā€™re about to run. Whee!

So Iā€™m wondering, what does Ryan have to say about this? Not to mention that speech. Is the endorsement still on?

So the platform of the Republican Party is now to ban all muslims???

A Lie Can Travel Halfway Around the World While the Truth Is Putting On Its Shoes. And Trump knows this better than anyone.

At this point, the platform is whatever the hell Trump said it was in the last hour or so. Like that old joke they tell about the weather in cities where itā€™s changeable, if you donā€™t like it wait an hour.

It would be irresponsible to speculate but what Iā€™m speculating is they have a story he didnā€™t like. What can I say, Iā€™m an optimist!

I recommend Excedrin and something caffeinated for that headache. Bourbon can work as well.

Pick your poison.

Rum with just a splash of latte might work better.
