Then the president doubled down on dumb when he was asked about the standout moment from the Democratic debate this week when Senator Kamala Harris confronted Joe Biden about his past positions on federally mandated busing. Trump somehow thinks the issue is purely about transportation instead of desegregation.

“Well, [busing is] something that they’ve done for a long period of time. You know, there aren’t that many ways you’re going to get people to schools… It is certainly a primary method of getting people to schools,” Trump said.


Didn't do yesterday's reading.

The proud soldier of Q representing yesterday in DC -

“Think of it as a frequency, as a resonance,” said a Q guy from Atlanta who declined to give his name because he preferred to be “clandestine.” He had a shirt that said “TRUMP/JFK JR. 2020,” which was not meant to be interpreted as a literal ticket, he said, but as an occasion to liberate your mind from the usual parameters of, uh, life and death and the space-time continuum — maybe? They’re awfully nice people, these Q people here, and they love how President Trump has exposed the cracks in our accepted reality. They love how the light is shining through now.


I am somewhere between fascinated and terrified that this Q thing has not gone away since it was disproven so completely.

The rest of the story about the salute to America

The internet is mostly terrible. (Though it has obvious benefits and I can't imagine life without it there has been a rather high cost.)

Down to minutes (due at 2PM) for the admin to explain it "rationale" for the citizenship question if it wants to keep it on the census. If it is a swing and a miss, or just skipped because they have nothing defensible/credible, then DJT threatens an EO to keep it in place. Prepare for the farces.

Farces protocol initiated: Don showed up on the south lawn (no context - I suppose 1330 is quitting time and he has golf to play) and said that he is exploring 4 to 5 paths to keep it on.

The other "Times Up"

On to that next 5D chess move us simpletons cannot possibly understand. One of Don's ideas is to issue an addendum to the census when he gets a positive decision, whatever that means.

Now the folks stuck working around the clock over the holiday wasted a bunch of time while knowing that they were going to hit a wall. Trumps wall built out of ego.

For your afternoon humor relief, Trump is blamed the airport thing in his speech on somebody else. It was a teleprompter problem. So, lack of accountability continues to be his is je ne sais quoi.

Yeah, but he said he knew the speech "so well" that he didn't even need the teleprompter.

"I knew the speech very well so I was able to do it without a teleprompter," he said. "And it was actually hard to look at anyway because of the rain." And, of course, let us not forget the grief he gave Obama over his teleprompter use.

The WH won't release a transcript of the written speech. I wonder why?

Murder rate is down slightly from 2017. Krasner took office in 2018.

166 in 2017 vs. 164 now, to date. So "down slightly" feels kind of hollow.

More upset about the fact that twice in the past ~10 days mobs of 60+ kids are running through the streets fucking shit up with no consequence, following three shootings within 10 days surrounding South Street and now two recent murders of the sons of two respective high-ranking Philadelphia law enforcement members.

Britain's ambassador to the United States reportedly described President Trump as "incompetent" and "inept" in newly-unearthed memos and notes sent to the British Foreign Commonwealth Office.

...

In one memo Darroch reportedly writes to senior politicians in Britain, the official states: "We don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal; less dysfunctional; less unpredictable; less faction riven; less diplomatically clumsy and inept."


& Boris seems likely to be next up, so they get to join the club.

Last month Trump was accused of rape. That story died quickly.
