ZonkerHarris's Journal"They didn't have any protection." Trump, because you should be ready to kill in temple and church
Trump- If only people in holy sites were ready to kill someone this could all have been avoided.
His said his answer wasn't gun control but if only they were armed in the synagogue everything would be fine
and also the death penalty, even though that doesn't deter shit.
Fuck you trump.
Has Trump reached out and contacted ANY of the victims/targets of the MAGABomber?
White House Press Corps, can you find out?
FBI caught the bomber in 5 days. Imagine who they could catch if they were hunting/
investigating for a year and a half?
Trump should be shitting bricks today remembering that no mater how hard he tries the FBI is full of real pros at catching crooks.
Like him.
Post Bomb Packages Trump Speech Poll: Can he make a speech calling for calm/unity/peace
without going offscript and riffing some horrible bullshit in the middle of it?
Can the reporters throw him off and back onto his endorsement of violence with one or two questions?
can he stay on prompter for this?

With each department store that closes, a world vanishes
"Americans went from dressing up to go shopping to dressing down to go shopping, and now they needn’t get dressed at all."
This piece really brought me back to the mega stores of my youth when shopping at a department store, especially during the holidays was a big deal.
"You might remember these vanishing icons simply as places to buy things, whether a Craftsman tool to upgrade your home or an Hermès scarf to upgrade your suit. But I think of them as a singular kind of American culture — small cities, almost, with distinct social hierarchies and gossiping neighbors and dream chasers. I spent my department store years in Ann Arbor at Jacobson’s, a chain mainly in Michigan, Ohio and Florida that was akin to Nordstrom. The store manager was like the mayor; everyone perked up when he strolled through, surveying his domain, bending to pick up bits of invisible fluff from the carpet. Department managers often had college degrees, and earned salaries and perks that made them the store’s upper middle class. Buyers from the designer section were the people who took the vacations you yearned for — they made glamorous trips to New York and Europe, coming back with look books and fabric swatches, letting us lower-ranking employees see the colors that would be popular next season. Young career men and women on the selling floors outfitted themselves in the latest fashions months before anyone else, at a generous discount, and showed off the styles after work, often spending large chunks of their paychecks to become walking advertisements for the store at nearby clubs. We didn’t have to wonder how new fashions would look on our customers: Smiling models regularly strolled through the store, bearing a printed card with the designer’s name and pausing for inspection.
These stores made an entire lifestyle possible for people who worked in them. Conversely, it was important for customers to see us as symbols of what they could attain, too. Customers were part of our community; our job was to sell them things that would highlight their good taste and let them share the sense of satisfaction that we felt after selling something special. That went both ways. After Diane von Furstenberg landed on the cover of Newsweek in 1976, customers came to Jacobson’s wanting one of her wrap dresses. It took a few years for them to make it to our Midwestern town, but when they did, I waited for one markdown, and then a second, before buying one.
...
Managers showed us the ropes, taught us tips on selling and caught us up when we made mistakes. I’ll never forget the look on my manager’s face when I erroneously told a shopper that a high-priced velvet bedspread was machine washable. In the men’s department, I matched shirts to ties, but I learned quickly that men wanted to buy suits from men."

The White House Wants Your Opinion on Reclassifying Cannabis
The White House Wants Your Opinion on Reclassifying Cannabis
Between now and Oct. 31, the US Food and Drug Administration is accepting public comment on how cannabis should be classified under international drug treaties. A World Health Organization is set to meet next month in Geneva to discuss “the legitimate use, harmful use, status of national control and potential impact of international control,” of cannabis and other substances, including synthetic cannabinoids and fentanyls.
“These comments will be considered in preparing a response from the United States to the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding the abuse liability and diversion of these drugs,” FDA’s associate commissioner for policy, Leslie Kux, wrote this month in the public request for comments. “WHO will use this information to consider whether to recommend that certain international restrictions be placed on these drugs.”

Remember back in April when Michelle Wolf called Sarah Sanders a liar & Republicans lost their shit?
Remember back in April when Michelle Wolf called Sarah Sanders a liar and Republicans lost their shit because they said she was insulting her appearance?
Republican hypocrisy: if we could harness it with cables it would power the world.
When Trumpers start talking about guilt and innocence RE Kavanaugh remind them it's not about
that when examining people for jobs like SCOTUS.
It's about character and Kavanaugh's temper tantrums failed that test.
Kavanuagh lied to Congress but they didn't make the FBI talk to him because
a GOP Congress will not hold him accountable for lying under oath, the FBI would hold him accountable if he lied to them in the course of an investigation.
They had to rig it this way to win.
