ā€œThe great enemy of truth is very often not the lie–deliberate, contrived and dishonest–but the myth–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." – John F. Kennedy

[Commencement Address at Yale University, June 11 1962]

My old man, a taciturn guy who didn’t mince words would have said something like ā€œI’ll warm you up. I’ll shove a flaming blow torch on full bore up your ass!ā€

Must be nice to have such a narrow perspecive on the world.

Roads melted and doctors warned people about heat stress as Australia notched five of its 10 hottest days on record amid a searing heatwave.

One town in New South Wales recorded a night-time low temperature of 35.9C – the highest minimum temperature ever recorded anywhere in Australia, the Bureau of Meteorology said.

The extreme heat, which has hit the country for a week, has caused dozens of bushfires and bat deaths on a ā€œbiblical scaleā€ in Adelaide, South Australia. More than a dozen people in that state have been taken to hospital due to heat, reports said.

It was only a matter of time before tRump did his Inhofe impersonation.

Somebody throw a fucking snowball at that asshole.

This is the reason why we can’t have nice things.

In one of his other ā€œbrief communiquesā€ he made a veiled threat to Nancy Pelosi to ā€œbe carefulā€ or he might deport 11,000,000 illegal immigrants.

I just checked out his twitterfeed. I see he’s on a tear this a.m… I don’t think we have 11 mil. ā€œillegalā€ immigrants here anymore as was previous reported in years past. I believe a lot of those from Mexico have probably repatriated back to their home country in the last several years. Even if they haven’t, his boast about going from 15% to 50% among Hispanics in some bogus poll numbers he’s citing is ridiculous on its face, and so easily disproven.

Seems he just realized his gambit yesterday to repeat some lies to the public, in his negotiation with himself, has gone nowhere and he’s exactly where he was before, which is to say slowly losing ground among his base with the shutdown he’s solely responsible for.

If Trump makes it to 2020, it would be tolerable if someone destroyed his cell phone.

One of his standard jokes in Las Vegas and on television went like this: ā€œJohnny was a good boy, never smoked, never drank, never dated. On his graduation day from college, his parents asked what he wanted. Johnny replied, ā€˜A drunken broad that smokes.ā€™ā€

My mom and dad liked Shecky Greene. They went to Las Vegas in its heyday quite a bit to catch acts like his at least twice a year. Us kids got the souvenirs from the airport gift shop if I recall correctly…I guess because what happens in Vegas…

I’ve never been there but had an uncle that lived there.
