As a new year begins, there is a gulf in this country between what some people want to believe and what the truth really is. At some point these two things—truth and untruth—will be reconciled. Perhaps this year, perhaps not. But in the end, truth always wins /1
Last year, we were told by the president that the economy is great. In fact, he boasted, it has never been so great. And yet the 4.2% growth rate of the second quarter faded almost immediately. The Federal Reserve predicts 2.3% growth this year and slightly under 2.0% in 2020. /2

First film screened in the new White House movie theater - this day in 1942 - and it was a good one
Times Square, New Year's Eve, 1945

The Johnson Ranch, New Year's Eve, 1968

Two Presidents died on this day. Modest men from the Midwest, each had been VP for just a few months before ascending to the top job. Harry Truman, the 33d POTUS (1945-53), died in 1972; Gerald Ford, the 38th (1974-77) in 2006
President for just three months when Franklin D. Roosevelt died, Truman became president just as World War II was ending in Europe. He made the grave decision to drop two atomic bombs on Japan, which brought the Pacific war to an end /2
Truman oversaw the Marshall Plan, Berlin Airlift, Korean War and creation of NATO—the North Atlantic Treaty Organization—a pillar of global peace and order for nearly 3/4 of a century - but is now threatened /3

So tonight, I'm going to livetweet my reading of Chapter 4 of Seth Abramson's Proof of Collusion. You can find an archive of my tweets through Chapter 3 here:
My livetweet isn't anything resembling a summary; it's just the things I find notable, so go ahead and buy Seth's book! simonandschuster.com/books/Proof-of…
Because I'm a weird dude, I'm having fun doing this. :)
Anyway, on to Chapter 4: The Campaign Begins: 2013-2015.

President Trump is absolutely gunning for the Democrat base – ending the federal ban on cannabis will put many blue states into contention and turbo boost the economic renaissance currently underway in America.

“I have been talking to people inside the White House who know and inside the president’s entourage... I have talked to them at length. I have been reassured that the president intends on keeping his campaign promise.” –Rep. Rohrabacher (R-CA)
"Rohrabacher says the president has spoken in support of legalizing medical marijuana on the federal level – and leaving the question of recreational marijuana use up to the states."
