      WSJ headline writer:

      – JFK has a lot on his mind in Dallas

      – A few lucky tourists get close-up view of World Trade Center on 9/11

      – Japan opens a few oysters at Pearl Harbour

    2. The New York Times said: Trump Signals Skepticism of Google Breakup, Citing Competition With China

      Trump literally said:

      JOHN MICKLETHWAIT: Maybe we can change the subject to technology, seeing you wouldn’t answer about the Federal Reserve. The U.S. Justice Department is thinking about breaking up Alphabet, as Google likes to be known now. Should Google be broken up?

      DONALD TRUMP: I just haven’t gotten over something the Justice Department did yesterday, where Virginia cleaned up its voter rolls and got rid of thousands and thousands of bad votes, and the Justice Department sued them that they should be allowed to put those bad votes and illegal votes back in and let the people vote.

      So I haven’t gotten over that. A lot of people have seen that. They can’t even believe it.

      JOHN MICKLETHWAIT: The question is about Google, President Trump.

      DONALD TRUMP: Yeah, look, Google’s got a lot of power. They’re very bad to me. Very, very bad to me. I mean, I can speak from that standpoint. They only have bad stories. In other words, if I have 20 good stories and 20 bad stories, and everyone’s entitled to that, you’ll only see the 20 bad stories. And I called the head of Google the other day, and I said, I’m getting a lot of good stories lately, but you don’t find them in Google. I think it’s a whole rigged deal. I think Google’s rigged just like our government is rigged all over the place.

      JOHN MICKLETHWAIT: You would break them up, in other words.

      DONALD TRUMP: I’d do something, but you have to have… Look, I give them a lot of credit. They’ve become such a power. It’s such a power. And you’ve got to give them credit for that. How they became a power is, you know, really the discussion.

      At the same time, it’s a very dangerous thing, because we want to have great companies. We don’t want China to have these companies. Right now, China is afraid of Google. Right now, you know, China is a very powerful, very smart group of people. I will tell you that from very personal…

    3. A concert requires the artists to perform live, but words don’t mean anything anymore. 

    4. Wow, inciteful news and so informative. I really get the picture of what happened, almost like being there. Who would have guessed a catatonic candidate for president could be so lost for so long. His handlers must have been in a panic. What will he say when he comes to.

    5. It wasn’t a concert FFS. It was a Spotify playlist of songs that I’m assuming he didn’t have rights to use and will hopefully be sued over shortly. I wouldn’t even call that a DJ set because DJs typically have skills.

      From now on, when I’m baking a pizza after a long night out, I’ll say ‘Evening Ends In Master Chef Exhibition’. Give it the Trump-up, which is like a glow up but it’s all bullshit.

    7. The media dropping the ball so hard in this moment is going to be studied for a long time if we make it through this as a functioning democracy.

      * Yuri Gagarin Takes a Long Journey
      * JFK Announces Cuban Missile Mix-Up

    9. That’s some sad PR.

      A least put a little effort into your BS, call it a “musical journey celebrating America” or some other nonsense. 

    10. Damp Summer experience for Chinese population

      (1931 China floods killed 4 million people)

    11. “Luxury Cruise Ship Titanic Slightly Inconvenienced by Oversized Ice Cube, though Passengers welcome cold plunge therapy amenities.”

      Another recent disaster was his Bloomberg interview. It was a complete disaster, and he did it in front of business people, in person. And still the business community in general supports Trump.

      They’ve gone complete “Weekend at Bernies” – they’ll support a literal nazi corpse if it meant they get that sweet tax break.
