    I’ll say it: I am too smart to be tricked into handing $50,000 cash in a shoebox through a car window to someone who claims to be a government agent.
    Everyone who thinks they're too smart, too financially aware, too tech-savvy to have this happen to them is wrong. Sorry. thecut.com/article/amazon…

    I don't like this new phenomenon where you can tell a woman's party affiliation just by the specific manner in which she's had too much work done

    Look, the carping media will focus on the in-person attendance numbers, but the important thing is Trump dominated a national TV news cycle and got out his key message that he wants to reduce coronavirus testing to conceal the scale of the epidemic.

    White House officials don’t get to gin up cultural division for sport and then complain it’s unfair for them to face cultural backlash when they’re out in public. I would love to see a less politicized social sphere. The Trump WH is the #1 enemy of that objective.

    Threw his wife under the bus and charged the bus fare to his campaign
    Unbelievable. Duncan Hunter says of his wife: "Whatever she did, that'll be looked at.... But I didn't do it."

    Among other things, what this shows is they're using the term "the coronavirus" internally like everyone else and are throwing this up publicly because they would rather have an argument about political correctness than discuss the response itself.
    Close up of President @realDonaldTrump notes is seen where he crossed out "Corona" and replaced it with "Chinese" Virus as he speaks with his coronavirus task force today at the White House. #trump #trumpnotes
