I think he believed that his oratory genius was going to make the crew hate Crozier and love him. And probably thinks that this brilliant statement will fix up problems with the previous one. After all, he’s a stable genius.

First They Came For Rich Elite Journalists

Have just watched Trump’s treatment of a fine reporter, Jon Karl. Trump is plumbing new depths of incivility, rudeness, absolutely intolerable behavior. When will Republicans have the courage to ask: “Have you no decency, sir?” https://twitter.com/joenbc/status/1247292664871075840 …

Oh shut the fuck up. Jon Karl is rich and powerful and Trump being rude to him is not “plumbing new depths.” I mean, Trump’s been a lot ruder to other less powerful and usually women and minority journalists all along, but even they are generally not the most sympathetic victims of My President’s “gauche” behavior. Especially at this precise moment in time, I think one can see some other problems more pressing than “oh no Trump was mean to Jon Karl.” Journalists of his stature have ways to “fight back” - both individually and collectively - but lol they don’t actually care.

Nope, there are no consequences for any behavior in this world for our betters, and I’m sure somebody will jump in now to explain in excruciating detail why that just has to be the case.

Good news, except that Trump will likely replace him with some completely incompetent sycophant.

Kelly Loeffler: the WNBA owner against everything the league stands for
Republican senator Kelly Loeffler’s financial disclosures show that millions of dollars in stocks were sold on her behalf right after Congress received briefings about the forthcoming coronavirus crisis. The transactions in question occurred on three separate occasions, and involved selling International Exchange stocks, as well as for retail companies that were likely to be hard hit during the pandemic. The Georgia senator also purchased stock for a company that provides teleworking software. There have been accusations of insider trading in some media reports, although there is no indication Loeffler has been the subject of a criminal investigation over the allegations.
But the accusations may have an impact on not just her political career, but on the WNBA. That’s because, since 2011, Loeffler has been one of the owners of the Atlanta Dream. This has the potential to put the WNBA and its players into a terrible position. Her political views – and the recent allegations – seem to be in contrast to everything the league itself stands for.
