Love the hard hat with his name on it, but why the hell does an imbecile with his incredibly hard head need a hard hat?
Another AP article… Just sayin’
If I wanted to read AP then I don’t need TPM! (AP) is everywhere!!
From the over-the-eyes position, I think that his name is on it so that no one confuses it with the real hard hats whose internals can absorb collision forces.
"Trump Scrambles To Find Politically Tenable Money Sources To Pay For Wall"
Is one of them Mexico…?
I think that may be his real head. He usually just hides in under a pile of what looks vaguely like hair.
For the wall 45* doesn’t amble,
It’s really more of a shamble.
He’s not making us great,
Just a failed nation-state
And out of the government shambles.
Whatever happened to UPI?
Who knew the military was over-funded and had billions of dollars laying around? Maybe they need less money going forward.
The administration has been eyeing several pots of money — including disaster funds, counter narcotic accounts and military construction dollars
counter narcotic accounts…thought there was a problem with drugs. Or does the Idiot In Chief believe money is not needed since most is targeted toward Opiods. Those same Opiods manufactured by his buddies.
Good question. I figured it just went the way of most newspapers and Speed Graphics.
But according to Wikipedia:
United Press International (UPI) is an international news agency whose newswires, photo, news film, and audio services provided news material to thousands of newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations for most of the 20th century. At its peak, it had more than 6,000 media subscribers. Since the first of several sales and staff cutbacks in 1982, and the 1999 sale of its broadcast client list to its rival, the Associated Press, UPI has concentrated on smaller information-market niches.
At my Jesuit Junior High and High School, for reasons of which I am still unaware, there was a room off the faculty lounge where someone had donated or installed a Teletype. I shudder to think of the amounts of paper that were wasted before it was removed, but I do not remember it being removed during my 6 years at the school (7-12, 1968-73). Anyway, the only reason I was even aware of it is because one of my role models was a neighbor who was a Senior my first year there, and he was on the Forensic (English Debate) team and the Model UN team, so he made it part of a religious daily routine to take entire segments of teletype to bone up on his current events and world news on our bus trip to and from school. Anyway, I think it was a UPI teletype if memory serves.
I don’t have stats, but these machines must have existed in the millions.
They were also used for internal communications – HQ’s to sub units and vice versa.

Jeffrey Toobin thinks there’s an excellent chance that the Supremes will OK Trump’s national emergency.
I am sure they existed in the millions. I just have no idea why our junior high school and high school had one. I am sure someone donated it. And it was permanently printing, maybe even on triple carbon paper huge spools. I worked most of high school and college in a Pre-Staples/Office Max office supply store in San Juan, which carried every form of paper for office machines, and I never saw whatever form of paper that fed into the teletype, so I imagine the paper had to be sort of an exclusive source. I dont believe it re-used (on the back side of previously used paper).
But I am certain there were millions of those machines. Radio Stations, newspapers, political parties, government offices. Just always thought it was a bit weird to have on in a school that was no frills. Also, years later when I moved to NYC, 1010 Wins News on AM Radio, the background fake noise is a teletype or many teletypes. Canned laughter/canned teletype noise.
