Sunday Morning

MAGA

I know I keep coming back to this but I just do not understand how Trump has personality cult fandom. I get that people are Republicans and conservative and support horrible things but how do you turn on the teevee and see Trump and think "you the man!"

I don't get it.

More Thread

I got nothin'. Bad blogger.

Saturday, Saturday

Trump's endless mash notes to Un are... weird.

Afternoon Thread

Gosh, it's been almost a year since Same River Twice  came out.  Before you leave for your summer weekend at the beach, download it to your Kindle. I promise you, you'll enjoy the mystery.

EXCLUSIVE: “I’m really so delighted, and I can’t believe I get a chance to be part of this,” Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon told Deadline last fall about joining the writers room of CBS All Access’ Star Trek: Picard series as an executive producer. The lifelong Star Trek fan has now been named showrunner of the Star Trek revival that is bringing Trek icon Patrick Stewart back into Federation space.

Busy with some stuff.

I actually don't understand how he can be this bad.

Better Things Are Not Possible

And that's why I'm going to make sure they don't happen.

3. I’ve been through multiple health care fights, incl. the original Medicare for All with Ted Kennedy and of course ACA. I know what it takes to get reform passed- eliminating private insurance in favor of a government system is not politically possible. At least right now.
