I’m in.

If the charity to benefit is one we jointly pick, I’d like to nominate he Southern Poverty Law Center. Or Planned Parenthood.

If we are each giving to our own charities, I’ll probably split my donation between those two.

And that equally lying-shitstain general has the nerve to lecture us about how we don’t respect women now a days. Of course, it was never black women who were sacred, was it, General?

Is there a list of people that the press shouldn’t try and “debate”? Is it available for and/or applicable to the general public, or just the press?

Why not? There have never, to my knowledge, been any negative repercussions for Donald Trump (or any of his family that I know of) because of having said something untrue or hurtful. Why wouldn’t they say whatever they thought needed to be said to paint themselves in the best possible light? It has literally never not worked before. In fact, it seems to have the exact opposite effect and consequence: every lie, every hurtful thing, only gains them more power and more money.

As part of his typical morning tweet storm, in whuch he lamented the Fake News, Trump included this:

> [@](#):
>
> Subject to the receipt of further information, I will be allowing, as President, the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened.

AIUI, the remaining files related to the Kennedy assassination are due to be released next Thursday unless the president blocks the release. This is due ti some 1993 law. Whether they should be released or not, I dunno. But Trump seems to view the release as some sort of personal victory in the face of opposition by the Fake News or something.

You got to admit, though, that the JFK assassination is the Gold Standard for subject changers.

He may be hoping to see Ted Cruz’s father in the super-secret files.

Sadly there is some truth to this. Kelly made a very public assertion, at which point it became conservative fact regardless of the actual fact that it turned out to be demonstrably false.

Exactly this. The truth is whatever Dear Leader Trump, or his Sycophant Of The Day say it is.

No more, no less. Dear Leader Trump is the ONLY one who knows the truth, and whatever comes from his sacred pie-whole is therefore, by definition, the truth.

On the whole, history has shown us that large segments of ANY society are susceptible to this adulation of a Dear Leader. Left, right, fascist, communist… does not matter. Obedience to authority is a rather powerful tendency in human beings.
