"It is indeed provocative, though not in the way the Times meant, for POTUS to either be lying about his role responding to the deadliest attack on US soil or so addled he thinks he was pulling away chunks of cement & narrowly escaping death from a tumbling building that then never actually tumbled"
The muted response to Trump 9/11 fantasy is a media failure
It’s not “disputed.” He’s delusional.

So rather than put Texas ABC affiliates in the middle of it, Kimmel says the full interview will be posted to YouTube instead. This is where we are now. A candidate interview gets moved off broadcast television because local stations are worried about what the federal government might do next.
Talarico's upcoming Kimmel interview will not air due to FCC pressure, host says
Talarico's upcoming interview will be his second that fails to air on a major network this year.

If I may get on my soap box: No Kings is a tactic. It is not the strategy and no one involved in putting it on considers it sufficient on its own. It's a mass show of defiance that's also served as an onramp to the kind of local organizing work that's necessary to shift power
I see on-the-ground evidence *on a daily basis* of how people's involvement in No Kings, Indivisible, 50501 has grown into ICE monitoring, flock camera protests, city council blowups over data centers and running for office. THAT was the point of No Kings, all along, from my perspective.

July 8: Facing Iranian threat, Trump uses the old Air Force One as a decoy -- with White House correspondents on board as potential collateral damage.

July 24: White House Correspondents Association celebrates the First Amendment -- with Trump -- at their annual dinner.

So the USSS thought the threat against the president was strong enough to surreptitiously remove him from AF1.

And then proceeded to let the plane full of White House staffers and reporters take off and fly back to the US.

Flew to Afghan. w/different president on AF1. An insurgent missile struck Bagram runway before landing. Weather was bad so planned Marine 1 trip to Kabul scrubbed. We were w/president the whole time. Our safety wasn’t treated any differently from his. We were never decoys.

1.) Iran has not apologized to this man.

2.) Donald Trump, no matter what he is talking about, sounds like he is talking about rape.

Trump: "We're gonna hit them very hard. I can actually say that because there's very little they can do about it. They've already apologized. But we've gotta smack them a little bit."

Some lovely details in this obit of Sam Neill, including that in that immortal, iconic shot of him seeing a living dino for the first time in Jurassic Park, he was looking at a piece of paper with an X on it.

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly??
