“Critics say Trumps actions raise concerns about potential harm to disadvantaged groups”

While there’s definitely a suitable term for this one, I’ve got money to venture on bodhisattva not being it.

Okay, I hate Mr. Bone-Spurs-But-I-Don’t-Remember-On-Which-Foot pretending to be a member of the frigging military with all those salutes he throws.
But I think it may partly explain why he feels so much distaste for members of the military who are wounded or captured or killed.
He’s always being a pretend general or admiral in his head – probably complete with about nine rows of medals and badges and everybody saluting and clicking their heels and saying “Sir!” “Sir!” “Sir!” to him right and left.-- So as he constantly daydreams himself into uniform he can’t stand hearing about pain or torture or death coming to such a person, because in his childish imagination, as Commander-in-Chief he is always that person. Cowardly little creep with his valor-stealing fantasies.

I gotta go walk. Later
I’m thoroughly disgusted, but then again, I’m not bored. It would be nice to be bored again.
bombshells that Biden was slightly older than him.

Mr. Zinke should read Article 1, section 9 of the Constitution.
Zinke could go to the Capitol book store like I did and get his own pocket sized booklet. It’s not expensive…
My copy has been well used.

Paul has a luxury in being candid and opinionated in expressing his thoughts that an ordinary citizen does not. He can prevail upon government security forces to protect him and his family from Trump’s goons. And he won’t find himself locked in an airport interview room for several hours, pressed to confess to any anti-Trump thoughts, speech or writings, with the wrong answers resulting in a swift trip to a black site foreign prison.

Before I catch an @ (hopefully not from a host), this was the vibe last year,
and yet,
I don’t expect the current majorities to do diddly, because most of their spines are made of fiddle fattle.
However, America is again headed further into the mire and any attempt to pull us or slow the journey should be goddamn appreciated.
If that’s not the case for others, enjoy the show.

They were (? are there any still flying?) amazing planes. Back in the early 80s I flew on one between islands in the Bahamas. The interior fabric walls had worn through, and you could touch the metal shell (I didn’t).

For you to type that, when it’s clear that this WH wants to blow up any type of freedom of speech protection, is amazing and I applaud you for your grace.
Well done.

That the crime is in broad day light is weird.
Beyond strange, perhaps beyond belief, this happens in front of journalists specifically tasked to report when public officials commit nefarious acts of any kind, and we end up with a discussion among some of whether this might be really bad.
So, it is not the bank being robbed in plain daylight.
It is a bank robbed in plain daylight surrounded by police discussing it among themselves how it could not possibly be a robbery because it is a very sunny day.

The president’s plane is missing.
Its plot sounds akin to something that could happen within the current administration
“Incompetent Vice President Kermit Madigan takes control of the government after the President’s plane mysteriously disappears with him on board.”

The President doesn’t just fly around in a single plane. There’s an entire fleet of support aircraft helping to establish a security bubble around the President, as outlined nicely in the article mentioned in the MM:
The idea of putting a golden chariot security nightmare provided by a foreign nation at the center of all this is insane. This is just Trump dominating the news cycle for a few days as a distraction from more important things.

If a crime falls in a forest, and the DOJ doesn’t hear it, is it really a crime?

There is no way he will pay for that himself. Or use any “Library” money for that.
“That is all my money” says the toddler.
Respectfully, I disagree: while Trump pays for nothing out of his own funds, he’d be perfectly willing to use the Presidential Library Fund to pay the support of his plane. The issue, it seems to me, is who will have use of the plane after Trump leaves the WH (assuming he does so). Presidential Libraries have supporting funds because the information they house is available to the public. (Same with Reagan’s Air Force One currently housed at the Reagan Library.) Trump’s plane will be available only to him and his family for travel wherever they want. End of discussion.

“Rand Paul: I do hope he would reject it”
No, Mister/Doctor/Senator Paul, it’s the duty of YOU and your fellow Senators and the House to “reject it.” Go back and read that “Constitution” thing.
Then do your damned job. At long last.
