Strong earthquake sets off fires, damages desert city east of Los Angeles

Not “the big one,” but certainly noticeable. Being this is in CA, my chance Trump mentions this today?

I’m sure he’d blame Democrats.

Obviously, they need to take better care of their faults! He would have the greatest faults!

[RickMycroft]

To protect General Washington’s Aircraft One, that he later used to fly across the Potomac?

Did he also meet with parents of missing Revolutionary War soldiers and promise that their children will be coming home soon?

Then, he went off the rails. “Our Army manned the air, it rammed (?) the ramparts, it took over airports, it did everything it had to do. And at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, had nothing but victory. When dawn came, the star-spangled banner waved defiant.”

Didn’t happen until the War of 1812, you great orange pusbag!

And John Belushi did it better.

Texas Observer

Texas has long faced criticism for being one of the only states that turns inmates into targets for dogs trained to track escapees. The practice drew fire during the 1990 governor’s race after a state prison board member and spokesperson for Ann Richards’ Republican opponent joined in the chase with his buddies, whom he later sent souvenir jackets embroidered with the slogan “The Ultimate Hunt.”

While it’s unclear how often they occur, serious injuries have happened on the job. In 1983, the prison system paid $14,000 to two inmates who were mauled by dogs. One former inmate I spoke to who trained dogs at the Hobby Unit several years ago recalled breaking her tailbone after falling out of a tree. The woman, who asked that I not use her name, also said a coworker broke her leg after a dog pulled her to the ground.

Of course, like so much else, this isn’t really a “Trumpian” event. This was happening long before Trump came to power.

Trump is the symptom, not the disease.

Fecking hell, I didn’t know about that, let alone that it’s still going on.

Assholes, fucking assholes everywhere.

Let me ask you this: Was there a single airport they did not take over?

Trump held these kids hostage to secure billions for their abusers. Congress needs to see that.

It’s true and too overlooked: it’s not just that Trump is a cruel bastard, it’s also that greedy fucks are making money from separating and caging children.

Of course not.
And what’s more, he drove there!

From the Atlantic article:

Eric Metaxas said, “In all of our years, we faced all kinds of struggles. The only time we faced an existential struggle like this was in the Civil War and in the Revolution when the nation began … We are on the verge of losing it as we could have lost it in the Civil War.”

Wow. An open admission that racism is the heart of Evangelical Xtianity. So nice of them to show us who they are; let’s believe them.

Coppock—who is theologically orthodox and generally sympathetic to conservatism—lamented the effect this moral freak show is having, especially on the younger generation. With unusual passion, he told me, “We’re losing an entire generation. They’re just gone. It’s one of the worst things to happen to the Church.”

Good.
