But at some point that just became general knowledge - or should have and didn't I guess.

June 1, 2020 In one of the most notorious days of the Trump presidency, police suddenly advanced on peaceful protesters in Lafayette Park across from the White House, clearing them away with batons, flash-bangs and tear gas. Trump then strode through the park and held up a bible for photographers.

On a sunny Sunday, Trump gives the commencement address at West Point. On his way out, he walks slowly and gingerly down a ramp - a moment of minor interest until Trump, stung by jokes about it online, tweets and makes it into a news story that leads to days of questions about his age and health.

In a baleful 4th of July speech to a crowd of about 3,700 people at Mount Rushmore, Trump rails against Democrats and warns that “angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders, deface our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities.”

Ageist as fuck. Also…not sure how many people today know this but the longest ever serving president was confined to a wheelchair. Unassisted mobility isn’t a requirement to run this country.

Have they gotten bored and annoyed that they have to find stories instead of Trump being the story every day (which we're back to that). My local station is newly running national shows dedicated to both sides discussions.

Just wanted to give a shoutout to all the bird and nature photographers I follow. Not only are your photos fantastic but it’s so nice to have a space where if I’m feeling a bit glum, I can just open an app and BAM! There’s a picture of a good little guy! You rule, keep on doing what you do!

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right: "Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."

TAPPER, to TRUMP: "I'm going to ask you a follow-up, you can do whatever you want with the time." Took 5 minutes to just tell Trump he can ignore questions and say -- literally -- whatever he wants.

It's been my expressed view since 2016 that debating Trump is a category mistake. It treats him like a legitimate candidate whose words bear some relationship to his actual views and to empirical reality, and that's too much to concede to him. It gives away the game before the first pitch.

I still rely on public radio, but there are some production quirks I hate. Just now, why play a bunch of people saying their name and town and then go back through them all saying their opinion. More effort, less info.
