Trump has now set his sights on Charleroi, PA, a town about 30 miles south of Pittsburgh.

he falsely claimed that immigrants in the borough were bankrupting residents by hundreds of thousands of dollars.

 

"Bankrupting residents by hundreds of thousands of dollars?"

Sounds like another classic Donald Trump projection.

He's about to bankrupt his fans who invested in Truth Social.

Is Donald Trump our new Jefferson Davis?

Paranoia feeds on paranoia. Hysteria feeds on hysteria. People in mobs behave differently than people as individuals.

There have been 33 bomb threats phoned in against the schools in Springfield now.

Is Trump really trying to start a race war?

Matt,

     IMO, part of the problem here is that our justice system, and law enforcement, have no meaningful way to police or prosecute stochastic terrorism.  It's non-specific, population-based incitement of violence by demagogues.

     I thought about this after various acts of violence incited by Trump's hate speech.

     How does our justice system prosecute the demagogue?

     How does law enforcement intervene?

     They don't.

The Chinese eat ducks too.

Where the hell do you think the term Peking Duck comes from?

I think we should deport all the Chinese people too, and every other Asian person while we're at it, or as Attorney General, Michael Palmer put it, anyone with "lopsided faces, sloping brows, and misshapen features”.

You remember the "Yellow Peril."

https://aaww.org/yellow-peril-scapegoating/

From The Chinese Exclusion Case” (1889)

"The exclusion of paupers, criminals, and persons afflicted with incurable diseases, for which statutes have been passed, is only an application of the same power to particular classes of persons, whose presence is deemed injurious or a source of danger to the country. As applied to them, there has never been any question as to the power to exclude them. The power is constantly exercised; its existence is involved in the right of selfpreservation."

 

Sound familiar?

I eat duck.   Quite popular in France.

Maigret is the duck breast and confit de canard is potted thigh and leg.

Both quite good.  We do Margret on the Weber -- but you have to put a container under it to catch all the fat that cooks off.

Not to mention fois gras!

I even know a restaurant, not far from the tower in Paris where they specialise in duck & every table has a toaster on it to use if you order the fois gras.
