He keeps pacing back and forth by the nike, applauding himself, altho most of the visible audience around him is not clapping, just waving their signs.
With no sound, the visuals really stand out.
anyone hear how many showed up?
I am watching Trump trying to milk his rally audience for more adulation.

Trump blocked their Twitter feed last June!!!!! The sitting President blocked a leading vet's group.
The NYT link is also very extraordinary, and it is written by Tim Weiner, author of several the author of histories of the F.B.I. and C.I.A.

This is really quite magnificent, folks. Very significant.
VoteVets reminds members of armed forces about their oath to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Wal-Mart has a 30 day drug list for 4.00 per script, which was 6 pages long, and covered most conditions.
That is now down to 2 pages, or 2/3 less drugs on it.
Meanwhile, the drugs I paid 30.00 per month, cash, are over 50.00.
of the 3 remaining pharmacies in town, Wal-greens is the most expensive, by far, then Wal-mart now, then a local place.
We used to have 3 local places, much cheaper, until Wal-mart and Wal-green moved in.
It's price gouging, but we have no enforceable regulatory officials to stop it.
Prescription prices have climbed since July. More Trump leeching effect.

This is a fun read, esp. if you know who some of these guys were in the 1880s.

'Corporations are people' is built on an incredible 19th-century lie
This is a fun read, esp. if you know who some of these guys were in the 1880s.
How exactly did corporations come to be understood as “people” bestowed with the most fundamental constitutional rights?
The answer can be found in a bizarre—even farcical—series of lawsuits over 130 years ago involving a lawyer who lied to the Supreme Court,
an ethically challenged justice, and one of the most powerful corporations of the day.
