The Would Be King is “testing the limits”? That’s an inaccurate phrase. There’s no “testing” involved. He’s going over the “boundaries”, breaking things, ignoring laws, all in furtherance of getting his way. He’s like water rushing through the dike. If there’s a weakness, he’ll go through it and tear an even bigger hole as he forces his way through.
That’s the way toddlers work. That’s been his M.O., ever since toddlerhood, when his mother tried to discipline him, like the other children, but his father Fred thought it was “cute” when he sassed her and kept doing the bad thing.

Meanwhile, the Rapist/Felon will be addressing the commencement at West Point. Cannot wait for the delirious cheers of all the Little Eichmanns with the promise of using their weapons against “fellow” Americans.

For those of us getting really freaked looking for the limits to Trump’s paranoia, there’s a column by a UMich law professor in today’s WaPo that is worth reading. As a bonus, it reintroduces us lawyers to the Supremes’ decision in Perry v Sindermann, which re-emphasized that even benefits that were based on privileges – as opposed to rights – could not be withheld for reasons that were unconstitutional.
The column is here (I was inexplicably unable to place it in front of the paywall):

rising rates of autism are caused by “environmental toxins” in food
The solution is obvious, stop producing food that is exposed to environmental toxins by being grown outdoors, in the soil, and fertilized with organic materials. We have known the answer for more than 50 years. Replace our toxic foods with Soylent Green.
