Man, Wasn’t That Trump Event Really Somethin’?  There’s a lot more where that came from.

Like Right Here. I can’t even.  The Twitter response to this was what you’d expect:

Trump, clearly reading from a teleprompter, talked about how the Continental Congress in 1775 “created a unified Army out of the Revolutionary Forces encamped around Boston and New York.” The army suffered a “bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown,” Trump said. Cornwall, of London, was defeated at Cornwall.

Here’s where it goes off the rails: “Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over airports, it did everything it had to do,” Trump added. “And at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, had nothing but victory. When dawn came, the star-spangled banner waved defiant.”

How St. Louis Prosecutor Will Hold Police Accountable.  A ‘Conviction And Incident Review Unit’. AG Jennings–are you paying attention? We need this in Delaware.

The Crisis In Evangelical Christianity.  Why so many jettison beliefs to embrace Trump.

Electronic Monitoring: How It Makes The Poor Poorer. Have you donated to ProPublica yet?

Carney Waffles On Assault Weapons Ban.  For all intents and purposes, we don’t have a governor right now. Whatever a leader is, he’s the opposite.

What do you want to talk about?
