White House says Trump did not hear 'white power' chant

It's amazing. This Guy seems to be deaf. Of course that's a lie. But you know that's a good excuse for him not to have heard that the Taliban was being bonused for every dead US service member. Just didn't hear it.

How's the comforting is s*** to know this guy can't make his way 15 seconds into a video because he has a smaller attention span than a first grader. Or, and I hate to say Bolton is right about damn near anything, he just saw that there were Trump 2020 signs and the good people were village people so he pushed send without paying any attention whatsoever. exactly what you wanted a guy who could just push send on some nukes.

Terrific article.

When Trump was elected, my view of him was Idiot Savant - genius at making money in commercial real estate, Homer Simpson at everything else.

But since then I've learned that he failed at real estate, too. Set up by daddy's money and bailed out by Russian money launderers, he is good at nothing but posturing.

He's the nuclear cockroach carnival barker.

Today's Sabato Crystal Ball newsletter focuses on Trump/Biden in PA. Only halfway done, but seems worth a read for most here.

I've probably told this story before, but for most of time i had no opinion one way or the other. then i was exposed to a few episodes of the apprentice, and i was like, holy @#$%, this guy has NO IDEA what he's doing, he's just making @#$% up whether it has any basis in reality or not. It was blatantly obvious, but I didn't really give two shorts since it was reality tv. so i was clued in to his lack of expertise even in his alleged bailiwick before his entry into the repub primary.

It was astounding. He was barely coherent on a highly edited and produced show and would just say easily disprovable stuff like that it was the top rated show in America.

Well that's an odd way to spin it.

@realDonaldTrump
Intel just reported to me that they did not find this info credible, and therefore did not report it to me or @VP. Possibly another fabricated Russia Hoax, maybe by the Fake News @nytimesbooks, wanting to make Republicans look bad!!!

with how insanely stupid this country is it is pretty impressive we've retained our superpower status in this world. maybe that's the point, we're really good at failing up.

SCOTUS dropping opinions in 20 mins or so. Today and tomorrow are the opinion days left on the calendar.

Um, Republicans do not need the NY Times's help to look bad. Can we hear directly from the person/persons that said they didn't report it because it seems Trump and Pence were the only two NOT notified.

My favorite fun fact about Trump is that he literally would be over 3 times richer than he is if he had done nothing his entire life and just taken his inheritance and put it in an S&P index fund.

Good outcome in the Louisiana abortion case. Chief Justice Roberts dissented in the near identical Texas case, but here he consented because of stare decisis. Three pretty good rulings by SCOTUS in the past week.

Interesting note, Roberts dissented in the Texas precedent case. More to come today. Next one around 10:20.

The Court will add more days.. no way they dump all of the remaining cases tomorrow. I think I saw on SCOTUS blog there are like 10 outstanding.

They added orders to the calendar today for next week but no opinion dates yet. Guessing they will add more opinion dates after tomorrow. It would not be unprecedented to drop all 10 tomorrow though but I doubt they will. SCOTUS blog thinks they will go through mid July.

LOL

@ProjectLincoln
Kavanaugh tried to strike down a 4 year precedent, but instead strikes down Susan Collins' 24 year Senate career.
