The man lies so much that people had to sit back and honestly consider if him testing positive to COVID was a lie or not. He also surrounds himself with people who will agree to stupid orders and decisions even though they should know better. So either he lied on the spot like he always does, or he decided he wanted to do it for PR and anybody who should have stopped him didn't.
Hey, I'm re-re-re-reading Shakespeare's Henry VI trilogy, and found this little gem:
"Name not religion, for thou lovest the flesh
And ne'er throughout the year to church thou go'st
Except it be to pray against thy foes."
Remind you guys of any famous American politician/cheeto?

@Michael Katsuro Could you provide a bit more reference about where exactly this excerpt comes from? I'd like to add it to Quotes.Prayer Of Malice...
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."The odd thing is that this line of thinking runs into the odd situation that there is necessarily no agreement between states. It requires absolutely no interaction or communication between them once the conditions are met for it to take effect.
Though the other obvious note is that if there are enough signatories to trigger it, then Congress is probably already controlled by a party unlikely to object and they could pass legislation if required.
@Medinoc: I sure can! It's from the first scene of the first act of the first play of the trilogy. The Duke of Gloucester says it to the Bishop of Winchester, as a response to the Bishop's line "Thy wife is proud; she holdeth thee in awe/ More than God or religious churchmen may."

Trump's tweeting out belligerent, raving nonsense?! Wow, that must mean he truly is on death's door and we'll hear announcement of his demise any minute he's terrified of losing the election and reacting in a desperate panic it is a day of the week and incomprehensible tweeting storms are completely normal for Donald "covfefe" Trump.
Seriously, guys, trying to divine the future by selectively interpreting Trump's Twitter page is a bit much.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.It's the meds
talking exacerbating his usual predilection for stark raving nonsense.
x4 The delta design has been in use for decades, such as Air forced space command, the rebranded Strategic Air Command, which adopted a version of it in 1982.
. The ‘space force’ is just its 4th rebranding now.

All this talk about the Space Force reminds me that it was made into a show with Steve Carell as the lead. I think it was a parody. I should watch it, I think it's on Netflix.
Also, I am surprised at just how much Trump has tweeted recently. You'd think he'd be able to fit that into a few tweets but apparently not.
So, let's hang an anchor from the sun... also my Tumblr

Karen Tumulty, a columnist for Washington Post, has another pertinent question
- namely, why was Trump allowed to "visit" soldiers, as he claimed?
It's been fun.
