"Trump Stupid" has a good ring to it and can be used in so many ways! I love it! I also love all the map details. :) Good one today, Clay!

Trump's just making noise to distract the base from all the nonsense he promised them and is pulling back from now.

Turns out he LIKES the "browning of America", as long as they work for low wages. He KNEW he couldn't lower grocery prices, especially not prices for chicken, in the face of mounting disease disasters on the mega factory farms. He wants more H1and H2-B's, he wants more tax cuts for the rich and bigger deficits for the middle class. He wants Social Security to go broke, rather than making the billionaires pay the same as everyone else. (And just when did "this group pays less than you do" become a thing, anyhow? How did we decide that was "fair"?)

So there's going to be a big photo op demonizing the "Mexican invasion" as they send a bunch of Guatemalans to Mexico, there will probably be some crazy talk about Cuba, Greenland, maybe Iceland and Panama, but it's all cover. It's just the worst con job ever. And MAGA's fell for it.

It may not be entirely accurate, but that's more a problem of the projection than the names. I approve many of those names. And the sippy cup. (The story about the Sea of Japan was new to me. Interesting. What was it called in the west before the occupation of Korea by the Japanese?)

Whale sharks eat for the first 150 years. Their only natural enemies are orcas. Chomp, chomp.

More Danish music: When Granny Sleeps (defunct) and the brilliant saxophonist, Lotte Anker, playing with the equally brilliant percussionist, Marilyn Mazur and the superb improvisational (American, though) pianist, Marilyn Crispell. I called the group "Lotte Marilyns," but they chose to go with Anker, Crispell and Mazur.

Don’t forget Victor Borge, a very entertaining pianist/comedian. He’d be having a heyday with Trump Stupid.

In high school, I dated Aralee Hambro, whose father, the pianist Leonard Hambro, was Borge's onstage sidekick. Just sayin'.

I did not. He just informed me out of the blue. He was quite cantankerous about it as well.

Why doesn't anyone point out that Putin's excuse that he wants Ukraine so he won't be bordered by NATO is ridiculous? If Ukraine becomes part of Russia, he will have many nations on the border that are in NATO - Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary... duh!
