“The one that matters is me,” Trump said. “I‘m the only one that matters because, when it comes to it, that’s what the policy is going to be.”

Autocracy in a nutshell.

I hope the coal promoters are gently but firmly bodily lifted and carried out of the meeting to be gently deposited outside the doors of the meeting hall.

Rand clobbered by his neighbour. Might be random, might be political.

How could anyone living next to Rand Paul not break down and do that?

Might be a hedge dispute. You know when the argument over the neighbour’s hedge just spills into that sort of thing.

People are always so quick to assume politics when it’s a politician. This might just be a case of suburbia.

Fuck the planet. Fuck the environment. Fuck regulations. trump tells Native American Leaders to just dig up the coal by any means nescessary.

“Chief, chief,” Trump continued, addressing one of the tribal leaders, “what are they going to do? Once you get it out of the ground are they going to make you put it back in there? I mean, once it’s out of the ground it can’t go back in there. You’ve just got to do it. I’m telling you, chief, you’ve just got to do it.”

"There wasn’t really a conclusion to the meeting. “It was kind of like, ‘all right’,” said a source in the room. “And the president’s like, ‘let’s go take a picture!’”

Yes, let’s stigmatize the “mentally ill” even though I would bet money the shooter’s guns were legally obtained.

Since he’s a neighbour it probably isn’t politics. Maybe Rand Paul just hit on the guy’s teenage daughter. I mean, I’m not saying he did, but isn’t it curious that he hasn’t denied doing so?

It is looking more and more like he legally obtained his firearms because of, get this, a paperwork mishap.

But Trump says it’s a mental health problem, not a firearms problem – so whatevs, right?

turns out not, kind of. His court marshal was for domestic violence, something which should have precluded him from getting a gun, but the military conviction for some reason didn’t trigger in the civilian system.

[ETA] Whoop! You scooped me!

Great, let’s start a national publicly funded mental health program to makes sure everyone who needs help can get it. Trump’s backing that, right?

Right, just as soon as he finishes dismantling the ACA, strip mining the Grand Canyon, deporting all immigrants, building more Robert E Lee statues, bringing peace to the Middle East, getting North Korea to give up their nukes, defeating ISIS, and giving all his rich friends much needed tax breaks.

One of our last sea ice monitoring satellites, vital to study climate change, broke down a few days ago.

Its replacement was complete, paid for, and ready to launch. Congress ordered it to be destroyed.
