With all the different reactions apparently from self inflicted controversies and events of late from this administration. Can we be reassured when a outside threat or event happens in real time, they will react with a single concise decisive plan? Or many, only to be overridden by a tweet from the throne at 7am? Or a response for guests after dinner entertainment.

Good on you, I am a sustainer at our two local PBS stations and the local Classical Music station.

^^^ A great link, goes straight to the heart of what Tim Snyder had to say to Trevor Noah. Snyder has incredible talent for boiling big stuff down to one powerful paragraph.

This one ought to be set to music.

Speaking of history, ever wonder what a Nazi torchlight parade looked like? They had one last night in Charlottesville, VA.

Funding was good, they had spiffy torches for everyone. No hoods on the KKK members, and no code words in the racist rhetoric. This would be a brigade in the uprising Trump spoke of.

That really sucks. Charlottesville is far too nice a place to be defiled by these reprobates. You have to be sick in the head to actually believe that whites are being persecuted in this country.

Any reassurance would be hollow.

The world is watching.
I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it:
