For your information. A Beast piece.

US climate change speeding up?

Sorry. That's a borrowed piece from the NYT. The linked NYT full piece is worth reading.

Raising the debt ceiling isn't going away, BTW. And that's 'Business as usual'.

Post truth and post fact explored

Ouais my DD is there for about 10 days and so looking forward to it. It's just a bit unnerving with Trump at the helm and his fondness for diversionary tactics...

His attacks on Blumenthal along with other things has not gone down well with the Vets Assoc

What is appalling is the fact he's blocked @VoteVets on Twitter. That's 500,000 military veterans and families, but they say they will NOT be silenced

Minnesota residents plead with Trump to condemn mosque explosion deemed "act of terrorism"

That's really shocking Roussette.

And they're right, what can Kelly think about the attacks on Blumenthal?

Kelly will be badly conflicted.

It just seems like an untenable position for him to be in. Not just over this but over everything.

Gen Kelly hasn't been put in the WH to control/corral Scrotus, he's been put there ostensibly to control/corral Scrotus' staff. Specifically, to find and silence the 'leakers'. How well he chooses to do that job is up to him. He can be Scrotus' best ally or his worst enemy. I know which I want him to be.

I'm hoping that somehow Scrotus was influenced by a GOP 'operative' to hire him and that in reality Kelly's a 'double agent' put there to orchestrate Scrotus' not being able to get the nomination in 2020. It's too much to hope he was put there to orchestrate his downfall.

45 thinks that his 'Generals' are straight shooters. That's all, probably.

Really interesting discussion on Trump' s poll numbers.

Morning Joe.

Mr Colbert last night. Looking very dapper.

Thanks, Set. Interesting piece - I fear that the numbers may be temporarily recoverable though.

What's your thinking on that cozie?

I don't want to be too despondent.

How much longer will the failing nytimes, with its big losses and massive unfunded liability (and non-existent sources), remain in business?

For a failing newspaper, it's getting loads of subscribers AND its share price has jumped from $10 in November to $19 now. I would say that's impressive.

E-mails show that the AmazonWashingtonPost and the FailingNewYorkTimes were reluctant to cover the Clinton/Lynch secret meeting in plane.

He's just lashing out. It's a stream of consciousness dump.

After 200 days, rarely has any Administration achieved what we have achieved..not even close! Don't believe the Fake News Suppression Polls!

Utterly delusional. Either that or a portal's been opened into a parallel dimension and somehow an exchange of POTUSes took place through the wormhole without them noticing.

Does he really believe that, I wonder?

I reckon he is bored on his vaycay. Possibly raining?

I think he really believes it. He can't afford not to.
