"This was his campaign plan": Trump has flipped the stolen documents case into "a farce"
Experts reflect one week after Donald Trump's historic indictment

"If it weren't so dangerous, it would be laughable to hear House Speaker Kevin McCarthy defend Trump's placement of classified documents in a Mar-a-Lago bathroom by saying, "A bathroom door locks." Sure, Kevin, it locks from the inside. Did the documents lock the door themselves?"

Can Donald Trump host State Dinners while he is in a jail cell?

It will be an unusual inauguration with the Warden of the prison administering the oath of office to the newly re-elected president who has no chance of getting released early from incarceration for good behavior.

Vital information from Prof. Juan Cole of the U. of Michigan for members of this Cooler:

 

The difference between 106 °F and 110 °F is that at the latter temperature many aircraft can no longer take off. Fast moving air molecules make for thinner air and it can no longer provide the lift beneath the plane’s wings necessary for take-off.

Likewise if it is both hot and humid, and you go out and exert yourself, you can get heat stroke, which happens if your body heats up to 104 °F (40 °C).

New electric cars won’t have AM radio. Rightwingers claim political sabotage

By Katie Thornton 21 Jun 2023

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/jun/21/am-radio-evs-electric-vehicles-conservative-talk

 

“Charlie Kirk, radio host and founder of the rightwing youth group Turning Point USA, believes that a conspiracy may be afoot.”

“Sean Hannity gave his viewers a similar warning: “This would be a direct hit politically on conservative talk radio in particular, which is what most people go to AM radio to listen to.” Mark Levin, another longtime radio host, agreed: “They finally figured out how to attack conservative talk radio,” he told his listeners in April.”

 

“What are they all so worried about? It turns out, a minor manufacturing change announced by car companies including Volkswagen and Mazda: they will be removing AM radios from their forthcoming fleets of electric vehicles, citing technical issues. Tesla, BMW, Audi, and Volvo have already dispensed with AM in their electric cars, because AM’s already unpolished reception is subject to even more buzz, crackling, and interference when installed near an electric motor. While some manufacturers have found workarounds for the interference, others appear to have decided that it’s not worth the engineering expense.”

 

Ah. Now I understand.

Partisan hack John Durham is getting utterly destroyed on Capitol Hill today.

 

 

Yeah, Matt, and the guys in the MAGA-verse who have been selling Durham nothing burgers probably don't even know.

That is one issue I have with the reality-based news and opinion being exiled to this Water Cooler board on the forum.

The result is that political reality has been marginalized, while the Fox News/Joe Rogan alternate reality propaganda is still being posted daily on the JFKA forum.

Not sure how to fix that problem.  I agree that the political discussions should be separated from debates about the JFK assassination.

And yet, Doug, we need to learn from our disastrous mistakes, don't we?

How did a disaster like Donald Trump happen to the United States?
