- This week’s note in Trumpian ‘Alternative Facts’ comes from The New Republic, where Alex Shepherd learns from watching Jake Tapper how journalists can deal with Trump’s parallel universe. One possible flaw. It seems to involve journalists doing their homework in advance of interviews. Sounds like a rare occurrence.
- Jack Jodell at The Saturday Afternoon Post suggests that the Trump administration’s migrant policy puts it in violation of kidnapping laws.
- Our favorite Earth-Bound Misfit is impatient with my President’s impatience with lawful due process. Has to do with some irritating technicality about Constitutional protections covering everyone equally.
- Max’s Dad is sickened by a picture of a crying little girl, and by those who call it fake news.
- M. Bouffant at Web of Evil perceives historical parallels after an ICE agent is ordered to lie, resigns instead, squeals about it to journalists, but finds the interview interrupted by government agents.
- Glenn Geist at MadMikesAmerica sees much to be ashamed about in the SCOTUS endorsement of Donald Trump’s thinly disguised Muslim ban. It isn’t a Muslim ban if it’s called a Muslim ban and bans Muslims but the words “Muslim ban” are not actually printed in the Muslin ban.
- driftglass stomps all over conservative Ron Fournier again. Fournier says Putin couldn’t have created a more pro-Russia US president in a lab. driftglass points out that Trump was carefully built by the Republican Party.
- Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger looks at the polling and tells us how Americans see what political parties care about whom.
- At Stinque, NOJO clings to our last, best hope of salvaging anything of what remains of our country after Republicans finish trashing the place. Past performance suggests they will do just that before January if they lose in November. But NOJO finds some glimmer of encouragement in a superb race in Texas, and a great campaign video, as a couple of small indicators.
- Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson notes that election expert Larry Sabato sees a trend toward Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin, formerly endangered. James doesn’t entirely like Sabato’s methodology.
- Vincent is sort of back at A Wayfarer’s Notes and, in his own poetic way, suggests that the compassionate and the predatory sides of humanity are the Yin and Yang of life. Would help explain God, Satan, Trump, and mosquitoes I suppose.
- Dave Dubya has some good FOX News, in photo form. Even better, it’s not the cable network. More like honest wildlife.
