Speed bumps on Newark’s Main Street? There’s pressure to make that happen after a stolen U-Haul van fatally struck a student, eight months after another student was killed by a motorcyclist fleeing from police.
Another Trump revenge tantrum executive order has been ruled unconstitutional. People who moaned that the courts are all in Trump’s corner should probably stop moaning that, but I’m betting they won’t.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, the college football coach turned Trump fluffer, wants to run for governor of Alabama, which would serve Alabamans right. But there’s problem – like many politicians, he’s been lying about where he lives. Shades of Park City Kathy: He voted in Florida while claiming he lived in Alabama, which requires seven years of residency before a person can run for governor.
By creating constant chaos, Trump has kept people from noticing that what little brain he had is slipping away. The media sanewashes most of what he says, but the full transcripts of his recent interviews with Time and the Atlantic show that his already shaky cognitive condition is getting worse. The examples are copious: Consider, for example, Trump’s fantasies about his “200 trade deals” (there aren’t that many countries in the world) or his fictitious gasoline prices, which are actually higher than when he took office.
Finally, I can’t decide whether this person was a plant or an actually-that-confused anti-Israel protester: Some asshole started screaming “war criminal” at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at a town hall meeting. AOC has spoken out against the Gaza slaughter, but some people aren’t going to let facts get in the way of their dudgeon.
The floor’s yours.
