1. “Steinle case defense lawyer: Trump may need presumption of innocence, too” (from SFGate headline)

   Trump is livid that the immigrant who apparently accidentally killed Kate Steinle when a gun he’d found went off was not convicted of murder or even involuntary manslaughter. He doesn’t believe in the justice system – of course, he’s always scoffed at it.

   To quote a wise man: stay upwind!

   1. We've got Good Times burgers – Local company, non-GMO, vegetarian and humanely raised meats. And delicious. Plus they paid decent above-market wages before they had to. 

      In and out? Meh, who needs them?

      1. Good Times' burgers are good, but not even close to In-N-Out. And In-N-Out pays way above minimum wage.

         Once they're in Boulder I'll be eating there 3 – 4 times/week.

   2. Gosh, I wonder if they'll find a spot next to another national chain store down at 29th St? Sorry, David, inquiring minds really don't care.

3. And in a certain house, on a certain street, in a certain small town called Chappaqua, in a certain state called New York, you can hear someone chanting…..

   LOCK HIM UP!  LOCK HIM UP!  LOCK HIM UP!

5. What Republicans like Moldy admire most about Trump:

   Add to Trump’s list of lies, his race baiting, his attacks on a free press, his charges of “fake news,” his efforts to instigate new levels of voter suppression, his undermining of the legitimacy of the electoral process, his disregard for the independence of the judiciary, the hypocrisy of his personal posture on sexual harassment, the patent lack of concern for delivering results to voters who supported him, his contempt for and manipulation of his own loyalists, his “failure of character” — and you have a lethal corruption of democratic leadership.

   And of course their belief that they’ll get a place at the head of the line to pick over the rotting corpse of our democracy so they can feast on carrion once dystopia descends upon our nation.
