Every once in a while I catch a vid-bite of Trump wooing his base live. Reminds me of a costumed audience at a Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Photos, vids, etc ....

In the complex tumult of 3rd millennium life we may lose sight of the fact, in political discourse the powerful radical faction has us pleading for the lives of our children.
A life-long friend & I met in Long Lake, NY yesterday, and enjoyed the eclipse (within "the band").
Though our relationship has been apolitical, we were unable to entire exclude Trump from our conversation. - grim -

As if you needed proof that Republicans are Terrible People

State Rep. Michael Lemelin (R-88) invoked last year's mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine during a debate over a proposal to protect healthcare providers from being targeted by other states' restrictions on gender-affirming and reproductive care.
Lemelin urged his colleagues to consider last year's passage of L.D. 1619, which expanded access to abortion later in pregnancy and went into effect on October 25—the same day a gunman opened fire at a bowling alley and a restaurant in Lewiston, killing 18 people and injuring 13 others."
When 1619 passed and went into law on October 25, you told God life doesn't matter," Lemelin said. "Keep in mind that the law came into effect on October 25. God heard you and the horrible events on October 25 happened." "

Why does an omniscient omnipotent deity have to read the newspaper?
"In the fevered state of our country, no good can ever result from any attempt to set one of these fiery zealots to rights, either in factor principle. They are determined as to the facts they will believe,and the opinions on which they will act.
Get by them, therefore, as you would by an angry bull; it is not for a man of sense to dispute the road with such an animal." Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), U.S. president. Letter, 24 Nov. 1808, to his grandson, Thomas Jefferson Randolph

GB Trudeau / Doonesbury has been at it quite a while.
The satirical art-form can serve as a durable tie-breaker: either I'm crazy, or the news is.
But perhaps it's worth noting, simply quoting Trump is jolting enough.
In most cases Trudeau's cartoon format may embellish. But the Trumpetts, "Vladimir Gluten"
is so extreme, satirical cartoons understate the case.
Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

Caddyshack w/ Bill Murray
possibly worth noting:
As we are at the dawn of an A.I. revolution the articulated puppet looks dated. For a taste of things to come, check out the 2009 sci-fi feature Avatar.
Yoda was a rubber puppet, w/ Muppet technology. We're just getting started.

It's mostly true that it's mostly false?
In the '50's not uncommon to call them "vapor trails". The "vapor" is mostly H2O, which becomes visible at altitude due to low temperature.
The "vapor" is condensation from the combustion process. "Condensation" is abbreviated to form the more familiar "con-trails". Perhaps the conspiracy theorists believe similarity between "con-trail" & "chem-trail" lends plausibility to their unsubstantiated claim.
That would require integrating poison into airliner engine fuel, or some other disbursal method.
Are the conspiracy theorists contending Biden is skulking about somehow miraculously evading his secret service detail? Or perhaps they think he's delegated this VP KH.
This further undermines my confidence in the pro-Trump contingent, as any such poisoning scheme perpetrated on national scale should be fairly easy to prove. Biden has a dozen years in the exec.
And they still haven't caught him ? Bumbling incompetents.
