FWIW, I’ve been having fun on Facebook lately bring up Trump University. I questioned whether the recent rally was a class reunion, and when a poster was berated for daring to oppose trump, I suggested she needed an education, and to enroll…where else? It’s fun because it emphasizes one of his biggest cons, and no one can defend that colossal swindle. ---

If you like podcasts you may enjoy [The Complete, Insane Story of Trump University](https://www.behindthebastards.com/podcasts/part-one-the-complete-insane-story-of-trump-university.htm) The podcast is called “Behind The Bastards” and they do shows on bad people. Not related to Trump U. exactly but I highly recommend [The Goat Testicle Implanting Doctor Who Invented Talk Radio](https://www.behindthebastards.com/podcasts/part-one-the-goat-testicle-implanting-doctor-who-invented-talk-radio.htm). The “doctor” in question seemed pretty Trumpy to me. Thanks to the doper (I forget who) that linked to this podcast in another thread. I’ve been listening to it everyday at work ever since. ---

There was a usual-suspects kerfuffle [about](https://apple.news/AAR-XJ734SU-HdaEJ4f6lTA) _… the decision by staff at Glacier to remove interpretive displays that had said “computer models indicate the glaciers will all be gone by the year 2020.” Fanning the uproar was that the Park Service had “quietly” removed the display._ Those sciency guys are slinking away, tail between their legs, because this proves that global warming is a hoax. Or, _… this isn’t a new treatment of science surrounding Glacier’s ice rivers, but just the latest episode under the Trump administration._ No, wait, Individual-1 is not in charge of the NPS. Is he?
