And another day of cakes, witness tampering, and the Orange One declaring himself King comes to a close:
“Kings are not born: they are made by artificial hallucination.” -- George Bernard Shaw
Robert Mueller just accused Paul Manafort of attempted witness tampering. Mueller asked a judge to revoke bail for Manafort. Well now. This can only get better if Manafort is still in contact with Trump.
In narrow ruling, Supreme Court gives victory to baker who refused to make cake for gay wedding. The opinion applies to only the specific facts of this case. But it’s heading us down a slippery slope.
“I’m reading about a 7-2 vote. Pretty sure that’s not narrowly… At least 2 dem leaning justices must have agreed.” -- Donald Trump (He really is a special kind of stupid.)
Trump lawyers sent special counsel letter arguing President can't obstruct Russia probe. A 20-page letter essentially saying Trump is the law and therefore can not be guilty. You know, like all innocent people behave.
Trump declares 'absolute right' to pardon himself. You know, like all innocent people behave.
Rudy Giuliani Says Trump Shouldn’t Testify Because “Our Recollection Keeps Changing”. WTF?
Trump's legal memo to Robert Muller makes an unusually frank case for a tyrannical interpretation of presidential power.
Trump's 'cruel' measures pushing US inequality to dangerous level, UN warns. Donald Trump is deliberately forcing millions of Americans into financial ruin, cruelly depriving them of food and other basic protections while lavishing vast riches on the super-wealthy, the United Nations monitor on poverty has warned.
A Trump Employee Said He Knew Of Misconduct At The Company. Then He Claimed His Family Was Assaulted. A mother and her young son said they were terrorized by Trump security in 1995, after a family member announced plans to reveal “financial improprieties.” The incident is one of several in which Trump surrogates have been accused of going to extreme lengths to protect him. It’s the Trumpian way.
Trump scraps scheduled reception for the reigning Super Bowl champions after several Eagles players indicated they planned not to attend. It’s simple. Don’t be an asshole.
Guatemala volcano death toll up to 65, expected to rise.
Palestine Football Association: Fans should burn Messi shirts if he plays in Jerusalem next weekend.
Many breast cancer patients can skip chemo, big U.S. study finds.

RIP Dwight Clark. He was 61.

And another day of Russian accounts, a leaked photo, and dropping fertility rates comes to a close:
“The search for the truth is not for the faint-hearted.” -- Vincent D’onofrio
New internet accounts are Russian ops designed to sway U.S. voters, experts say. A new Russian influence operation has surfaced that mirrors some of the activity of an internet firm that the FBI says was deeply involved in efforts to sway the 2016 U.S. elections
“...the United States is now placing more tariffs on Canada, Mexico and the EU than on China.” The 4 Biggest Consequences of Trump's Disastrous Tariff Plan.
The Pentagon estimates that nearly 500 civilians were killed as a result of US military actions in the first year of the Trump administration.
The pardon of Dinesh D’Souza shows how far the racist fringe has risen under Donald Trump.
Missing Melania Trump barely makes news – things are getting weirder. We’re so used to bizarre behavior from the Trump administration that a missing first lady barely registers as strange. Oh, but it is.
Leaked photo reveals 'mass trial' of immigrants in Texas. A recently leaked image shows dozens of immigrants in orange jumpsuits, their hands and feet shackled, undergoing a "mass trial" in Pecos, Texas, a small town roughly 70 miles southwest of Odessa. Rapid fire trials like the one seen in the image are not an anomaly, but few Americans know what the controversial practice looks like since photographing federal court proceedings is forbidden. [The photo] was apparently snapped by someone who felt morally conflicted by the effects of the Trump administration's new "zero tolerance" policy.
Sex workers say a new law meant to stop human trafficking could kill them. FOSTA has already led to the removal of sites that hosted running lists of sex workers’ clients who have been violent, refused to pay, or otherwise engaged in hostile behavior.
California Bans State-Funded Travel to Oklahoma in Response to LGBT Adoption Law. More states need to follow California’s lead.
Fox News Steamrolls Cable News Competition With Big Win In May Ratings. A lot of Americans over 50 embrace, relish, even cherish stupidity and propaganda.
Massive wildfires in Colorado and New Mexico have torched thousands of acres and forced 1,500 people to evacuate.
The research is clear: needle exchange programs fight the spread of disease and help connect drug users to treatment — all without enabling more drug use.
Immunotherapy could stop prostate cancer spreading. Men with otherwise untreatable prostate cancer could halt its spread and survive longer by undergoing immunotherapy treatment, a trial has shown.
U.S. fertility rates have hit a 30-year low.

"Black lives don't matter," lawyer says after jury awards $4 in police killing. America, 2018.
Trump calls for comedian Samantha Bee's firing after crude Ivanka slur. There’s a difference between using “horrible language” and spouting racist bullshit about a person of a different race. You wouldn’t know that Donald because you’re a fucking racist. Then there’s the whole thing that with his remarks he is actively promoting censorship of something he doesn’t like. That’s a dangerous path, which is why we have the First Amendment to begin with.
First lady Melania Trump isn't accompanying the President to Camp David this weekend, marking the 22nd day since she was last seen publicly. Hmmmm. I’ve been seeing talk of possible physical abuse against her. (And it’s not like Trump doesn’t have a history.) It does seem strange she hasn’t been seen in 22 days.

And another day of a man-child pretending to play leader while screwing over allies and the people he supposedly governs, as well as said man-child letting his loyalist know that he has plenty get-out-of-jail-free cards at the ready comes to an agonizing close:
"We have to believe that at some point, common sense will prevail. But we see no sign of that in this action today by the US administration," Canadian PM Trudeau says after new US tariffs. We’re trying, Mr. Trudeau. We’re trying to right this sinking ship.
U.S. hits E.U., Canada and Mexico with steel, aluminum tariffs, sparking trade war. Because that’s what decent people do, they fuck over their allies...oh, and when you’re somehow the leader of a country and you do this, then you fuck over the citizens of said country as well.
Congressional Republicans lining up against Trump on trade.
Trump reportedly said he wants to stop German luxury car imports in the US.
Trump has reportedly made multiple attempts to persuade Attorney General Jeff Sessions to retake command of the Russia investigation. The actions of a desperate, guilty man.
Trump on Thursday pardoned a conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza and said he was considering pardoning lifestyle maven Martha Stewart and commuting a former Illinois governor’s prison sentence, prompting critics to accuse him of subverting the rule of law. Remember, nothing happens by accident when it comes to politics. He’s setting shit up regarding the Mueller investigation.
Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich got a new lifeline when President Donald Trump said he would consider pardoning or commuting his sentence on his federal corruption conviction. Ah, connections to a stupid “reality” tv show.
No, Samantha Bee's vulgarity isn't equivalent to Roseanne Barr's racism. Because being foul-mouthed is not the same as a white person calling a black person an ape, or a Jewish Holocaust survivor a Nazi.
US government wanted to keep them secret forever but Guantanamo detainee Abu Zubaydah's drawings of his CIA torture have just been ordered released.
Planned Parenthood cancels abortions in Arkansas after restrictive law is reinstated. There’s suddenly a rush on wire hangers.
Denmark has banned the wearing of face veils in public, joining parts of Europe in outlawing the burqa and the niqab worn by some Muslim women.
Researchers just made a disturbing discovery about your child's risk of schizophrenia.

And another day of indictments, fake deaths, and scapegoating comes to a close:
“To err is human. To blame someone else is politics.” -- Hubert H. Humphrey
Prosecutors in Michael Cohen case piecing together shredded documents from raid. Like they do.
Ambien just hit back at Roseanne: "Racism is not a known side effect.” Roseanne is and always has been a horrible person.
Liberty University students and faculty are making a film that implies God chose Trump. “Meanwhile, the Trump prophecy narrative is more common among evangelicals associated with what is known as the New Apostolic Reformation: a loosely-conceived umbrella group of Christians that tend to focus on the power of individual prophecy and the authority of charismatic leadership figures believed to be possessed of distinct spiritual gifts.” In other words, a cult. These people are fucking whacked.
Russian journalist reported dead shows up alive at news conference. Ukrainian officials say they faked his death to thwart a real plot by Russian intelligence to murder him.
Virginia’s state senate just voted to expand Medicaid. It’s nearly a done deal now.
Trump pressure played key role in changing NFL anthem rules, depositions reveal.
Harvey Weinstein indicted by New York grand jury on rape charges.
CIA report says North Korea won't denuclearize, but might open a burger joint. A Western hamburger franchise, you know, as a show of goodwill. God damn the world we live in.
Kim Kardashian West was at the White House Wednesday seeking clemency for a great-grandmother serving a life sentence in federal prison for a first-time drug offense committed over 20 years ago.
A report estimates that conflict, poverty or sexual discrimination threatens 1.2 billion children -- nearly half the world's youths. Threat of child marriage or lack of education increases in high-risk countries like Niger.
Why You Should Teach Your Kids To Swear, According To Science. Research has linked swearing to – among other things – honesty, better vocabularies, better credibility, improved camaraderie with our peers, and helping us process and handle anger. “Learning how to use swearing effectively, with the support of empathetic adults, is far better than trying to ban children from using such language.” Fuckin’ A!

“Racism is man’s gravest threat to man--the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason.” -- Abraham Joshua Heschel
Trump says, without proof, that the Mueller team will meddle in midterm elections. Projecting what you’re going to do again I see, Donald.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy says the FBI "did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do" in Russia investigation. Yeah, Trey Gowdy.
ABC cancels 'Roseanne' after star's racist Twitter rant. Racism will not be tolerated. Nicely done Disney. Roseanne Barr is a horrible person. I would have only preferred that you had never picked up her reboot to begin with becauses she’s the same hateful person she’s always been.
Not content to stop there, Roseanne goes full conspiracy theorist on Chelsea Clinton. Chelsea’s response was perfect. And Jesus Christ the shit Roseanne believes.

Former campaign manager: Bernie Sanders ‘is considering another run for the presidency’. Can’t we get new blood?

And another day of “me, me, me,” “let’s blame Democrats,” several stories on the cancer front, and Rick Santorum joining the I’m A Horrible Person club (as if he ever left it) comes to a close:
“Perhaps this is as good, as it gets.” -- Colin Hay
Donald Trump puts the “Me” in Memorial Day.
New study connects white American intolerance and support for authoritarianism. The research suggests that when intolerant white people fear democracy may benefit marginalized people, they abandon their commitment to democracy. Because they are horrible people.
Paul Ryan warns that if Dems win, they'll hold Trump accountable. Which means he and the rest of the GOP are not doing their job. “Republican lawmakers have effectively told the Republican president that they've looked the other way on Trump's scandals and misdeeds, ignoring their oversight responsibilities and undermining the entire idea of checks and balances, but Democrats won't.”
Rick Santorum: Migrant children the government lost track of aren't lost. Rick Santorum is a horrible person.
Trump and the White House are on a campaign to try to blame Democrats for the Trump administration's decision to separate children from their parents at the border.

Spending on cancer drugs has doubled over the past 5 years, and every new cancer drug brought to market last year cost $100,000 or more, according to a new report.
More than 220,000 pounds of Spam recalled over oral injuries.
Mind-boggling canyons discovered beneath Antarctica's ice. Three canyons are on par with the Grand Canyon. “The discovery is both wow-worthy and vital to understanding what will happen to Antarctica’s ice as it melts.”
