I don't think he understands the day of the week much less anything else.

I got it wrong about the law as it doesn't pertain to individual speech.

Also, it's not a law, in fact.

So, I withdrawal my statement.

That said, it doesn't take a genius to figure out who would want a law banning "hate" against a nation state.

A bizarre notion, this, imho.

Love the pictures!

He's a reputable historian. His wheelhouse is the history of the Arabs.

I see he probably did get this wrong. A cartoonist invented red Santa in 1863 for Harper's Weekly and Coca-Cola used red Santa in 1938. - From the comments.

I suppose both stories could be true. I think I'll Google an image of the 1863 Santa. But why a red Santa at that time?

I like him wearing green. It's my favorite color.

Edit-

"In 1863, Santa Claus did not wear his signature red suit in Harper's Weekly, as the magazine was printed entirely in black-and-white wood engravings. While cartoonist Thomas Nast famously introduced the prototype of our modern Santa Claus on the January 3, 1863 cover of Harper's Weekly, the actual text accompanying the illustration reveals that Santa was dressed in a patriotic Union uniform of a star-covered jacket and striped trousers rather than a solid color.Nast did not popularize the iconic bright red outfit until 1881, when his famous colorized illustration titled "Merry Old Santa Claus" was published.

Thank you, AI

Edit 2- He was wrong. He should stick to his area of expertise.

in California (but it's in every state).

I loathe most but not all "non-profits."

Who knew?

That's disgusting and I'm not watching the video because after that it would be in my memory.

Are humans the smartest animal or the dumbest?

Yes, and the Senate is furious.

As I said in another thread, Republicans and the Acting Attorney General got into a shouting match and the Senate shut down with the House following suit.

Basically, Trump demanded everything he wanted, all at once; or, in other words, he wanted a rubber stamp.

An editorial I read suggested it was written by AI. Lol.

6 million.

I'll have it. 🤪

So, the Republican Senators and the Acting Attorney General got into a shouting match and the Senate was shut down. Soon after, the House was shut down.

I'm surprised it was released.

He can be sane the live long day or not but he's got dementia either way. Also, I wouldn't focus on his agency myself not that I have insight into it. I'd focus on how he's being used by others.

There. I said it.

Disgraceful.

This is beyond the pale. It's easy to say but it's true.

I might take jon's recommendation as well, and thank you so much wtg and Andy.

More ethically questionable activity:

U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosures show that he or his investment advisers made more than 3,700 trades in the first quarter, a flurry totaling tens of millions of dollars and involving major companies that have dealings with his administration.

The transactions, spelled out in more than 100 pages of documents filed Thursday with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, list purchases and sales in broad ranges, making it hard to calculate an exact value. But the volume of trading — more than 40 per day over a three-month period — stands out as much as the potential dollar value.

“This is an insane amount of trades,” said Matthew Tuttle, chief executive officer of Tuttle Capital Management, in an interview, adding that it looks more like something done by “a hedge fund with massive algo trades” that buys and shorts securities than a personal account.

In the first quarter, the president bought at least $1 million each in companies including Nvidia, Oracle, Microsoft, Boeing and Costco Wholesale, according to the documents. Other trades involved eBay, Abbott Laboratories, Uber Technologies, AT&T and discount store Dollar Tree.

The disclosure reignites conflict-of-interest concerns that have shadowed Trump’s terms in the White House. Critics have regularly accused him of mixing his official duties with his business interests. Unlike his predecessors, Trump didn’t divest or move his assets into a blind trust with an independent overseer. His sprawling business empire is managed by two of his sons and operates in several areas that intersect with presidential policy.

At the same time, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner helps manage billions in investments for Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates while simultaneously serving as a “volunteer” envoy for the president on issues affecting the war in Iran and the Middle East in general.
