The President of the United States has many ways of communicating official business, but Donald Trump created a private social media platform, owned by himself, which he simultaneously uses for announcements he considers official government business and messages that communicate his own personal and often petty opinions.
He conducts government business at many of the clubs he owns and has violated untold numbers of established procedures in his efforts to remodel the official office and residence of the president to the gaudy style in which his clubs and personal residences are decorated.
He ignores advice from qualified experienced experts in any field in favor of recommendations from his children, their spouses and anyone who has managed to weasel their way into frequent contact with him.
I could go on and on. Basically, he has attempted to bring the country under the auspices of the Trump Organization and we are all supposed to simply accept it without question.
In 1969 the daughter of media personality Art Linkletter fell or jumped to her death.
Linkletter publicly raged against LSD as the cause of her death and Nixon drafted him to help launch the War on Drugs. The idea that hallucinatory drugs make you believe you can fly was often cited as the reason you must “Just Say No.”
It’s starting to sound like ChatGPT is much more dangerous than all the drugs that were vilified in the 60s and 70s. When will the party of “family values” do something to regulate it????
Interesting read:
There’s this guy I knew at university. The night before the final exam results were to be released, he dropped some acid and went out onto the roof of his student residence block to contemplate the night sky with his mates.
As the drug took effect, he soon became overwhelmed with wonder and the feeling that anything was possible – that he was Superman. He began telling his friends that he could fly, and though they tried to stop him, he escaped their grasp, ran, and leaped off the roof to his death.
I’ve heard this story from friends several times over the years, each time with slight variations, but the basics are always the same: youth takes LSD (or mushrooms or PCP or some other psychedelic), believes he can fly, and finds out that he can’t.
So, what makes this piece of drug lore such a persistent myth? And could there even be a kernel of truth to the story?

Not just the idiots who voted for him--the Lying Idiot in Chief campaigned on it.
Trump spoke at a rally in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania on Saturday, arguing that Harris would be incompetent at dealing with other country’s leaders like Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“To make her president would be to gamble with the lives of millions of people,” he said. “She would get us into a World War III guaranteed because she is too grossly incompetent to do the job.”

According to Michael Wolff the original plan was to remove Kennedy and call it The Trump Center.
Which totally tracks.

Politico sanewashing:
Politico’s description of a recent Trump interview:
Actual transcript of the interview as reported by People magazine:
"He had one problem," Trump, 79, said of his father in the interview. “At a certain age, about 86, 87, he started getting, what do they call it?”
Terris wrote that Trump then pointed to his head and turned to press secretary Karoline Leavitt to prompt him.
“Alzheimer’s,” Leavitt said.
“Like an Alzheimer’s thing,” Trump agreed. “Well, I don’t have it... I don’t think about it at all. You know why? Because whatever it is, my attitude is whatever."

They are addicted to outrage.
Anytime there’s a lull in news stories to fuel their outrage they have to find something, anything to keep it goong.
