William (Bill) Anders, now aged 90, the Apollo 8 astronaut who took the famous ‘Earthrise’ photo in 1968, was killed when his T-34 crashed into the sea yesterday.
Six months under house arrest in his triplex apartment on top of Trump tower would be a good result. He’d have plenty of time to get out the tape measure and work out how big it is.
I posted about this previously somewhere on here. This guy has been rebuilding a derelict boat, "Tally Ho" that he bought for $1.
It's literally been rebuilt from the keel up, and for the last 7 years he has been posting regular progress videos to a huge audience that have been following the story.
The workmanship that has gone into it is truly amazing.
They finally launched it:
The New York Times did a detailed analysis of Trump's speeches and concluded that the strategy he uses to convince his followers that he is their savior is pretty formulaic and predictable. It boils down to:
· He grossly distorts his opponents’ records and proposals to make them sound unreasonable.
· He exaggerates and twists the facts to make his record sound better than it is.
· He relies on both well-worn and fresh claims of election rigging to suggest he can lose only if his opponents cheat.
· He has turned his criminal cases into a rallying cry, baselessly asserting that he is being persecuted by his successor.
· He makes unverifiable claims about what the world would have been like had he secured a second term.
· He describes the United States as a nation in ruins.
The article gave examples of each, but that's what it boils down to. It's astounding that his followers can't see how he cons them.
If he did he'd be selling two covers for $59.95.
Mind you, it comes with some patriotic additions at no extra cost.
What is the USA Bible?
Besides a King James Version translation, it includes copies of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance, as well as a handwritten chorus of the famous Greenwood song.
I’m amazed the appeals court dropped the bond to $175m when he’s been bragging recently that he’s got about $500m in his back pocket. No wonder they call him Teflon Don. To make matters worse they won’t be hearing the case until September and then it could take between one and six months for them to announce their decision.
Maybe. The president can nominate someone to be the army chief of staff, but the appointment has to be ratified by the Senate, so it may not be that easy to get his Yes Man in depending on who controls the Senate. I would assume that any order to use troops on home soil would need to go through the C.O.S.
