- This week’s note in Trumpian ‘Alternative Facts’ comes from National Review writer Jonah Goldberg on Fox News who believes Rudy Giuliani’s various defenses of President Trump are factually, logically almost grotesque at times. That’s a quote.
- @bjork55 at Bjork Report watches the television machine as a Fox News personality demolishes the latest Trump conspiracy excuse for Russia-Links.
- At MadMikesAmerica, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is asked by a youngster about school safety, and Michael John Scott discovers the Trump Press Representative is human.
- Batocchio at Vagabond Scholar is unimpressed by Trump’s occasional bombings of Syria, suggesting that glorious battles in righteous war are not so glorious.
- Jonathan Bernstein puts the death of thousands of Americans in Puerto Rico at the doorstep of a leader focused far more on congratulating himself than on doing something worth bragging about. That’s a good quote.
- nojo at Stinque is as disturbed as we all should be at the newest Trump immigration policy of those who would rip babies from mangers. That’s a sad quote.
- Jack Jodell at The Saturday Afternoon Post is apprehensive as my President’s lazy sort of ethereal incompetence undergoes transubstantiation into something dangerously incarnate: a reckless, impulsive foreign policy. Affecting, you know, our national security.
- David Maloniez at Anything Political reports that Kim Jong-un was nervous about leaving North Korea on a preplanned date because of the possibility of a coup because “[i]t seemed that the Korean people didn’t want their leader to denuclearize.” That’s a quote.
- Andy Borowitz reports White House panic at the dangerous precedent, now that a nationally known figure can lose an important position as a result of a racist tweet.
- Dave Dubya summarizes the public life and utterances of now-pardoned Dinesh D’Souza. Not a nice guy.
- Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger brings the ratings of American Presidents from best to worst. Best, as with all previous rankings, is Abraham Lincoln. You might be able to guess who is currently ranked as flat last. I’m kind of irritated that Andrew Johnson is not ranked even lower than he is.
- At The Moderate Voice, David Robertson is impatient with Democrats who, as a strategic matter, would focus on voter turnout rather than converting Trump voters. He sees that preference as based on a view that Trump voters are all racist. He educates us that they simply viewed Hillary was a crook. Mr. Robertson presents his primary credential, which is that he voted in 2016 for neither of the front-running candidates.
- The ERA finally passes in Illinois, and driftglass goes back 40 years to Mike Royko, who revealed why do-gooders don’t accomplish what they want.

- PZ Myers reacts to an instance of aggressive physical abuse in the workplace toward a woman in Scotland because she had dared speak out about aggressive physical abuse in the workplace. Also included is the remarkably light response from supervisors.

The belief that Clinton is corrupt is a reason to vote against her, but not a reason to vote for a different crook, choose him in the primaries out of a large field of candidates, or continue to support him regardless of what he does.
What do Democrats have to offer that would be of any interest to someone who proudly describes himself as a Trump supporter? Nothing — and I hope that it stays that way. Focus on the turnout.
