Trump slandering John McCain is expected. He earned respect that Trump will never have. That so few of McCain's fellow Republicans defend a recently passed hero against these attacks is even more pathetic.
Trump champions racists & smears American heroes. The GOP deserves to go into the dustbin of history with Trump if there is no Republican office-holder left to ask Trump, "At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"
Nor would condemnation suffice. It must be backed with real opposition to the destructive politics & policies of a reckless & corrupt president who has put himself above the law & the nation.

Include the decimation of the State Dept & lack of ambassadors. It's a model of what I pointed out two years ago. This isn't just incompetence, it's a slow-motion coup by an unaccountable core in the Executive.
Normal politicians see the public bureaucracy as an arm of their power. Autocrats see it as interference, with the "threat" of transparency, checks & balances, and leaks.
Bureaucracy and diffuse institutional power have drawbacks of bloat, gridlock, etc. But it is also a strategic strength that allows expertise & planning to span multiple administrations without too much partisan whipsawing.

"Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men."—Aldous Huxley, "On the Hypothesis that Animals are Automata, and Its History" (1874)
Lol, funny slip, *Thomas* Huxley of course.
Continuation is good too: "The only question which any wise man can ask himself, and which any honest man will ask himself, is whether a doctrine is true or false. Consequences will take care of themselves;" Whole essay: sophia-project.org/uploads/1/3/9/…

My long @PCMag interview on AI, tech-dystopianism, and how AI follows our biases. "Complaining about ethical AI is like complaining about a mirror because we don't like what we see there." pcmag.com/article/367202…
And like a mirror, AI can be useful in exposing our biases and thus helping us be aware of them & fight them. But it cannot be more ethical than its creators the way a chess program can be stronger than its programmer.
Sony at SXSW asked artists if AI could make them more creative, they said yes, because they see it for what it is, a tool. It takes little away and adds new possibilities. We used to be good at embracing new possibilities. Now we're more afraid of losing old ones.

WV State Police have ordered Interstate 68, both east and west-bound lanes to be shut down, as part of an in-depth investigation "that could require some time." Thousands of vehicles are backed up. Secret Service allegedly involved. wvnews.com/news/wvnews/al… via @WVNews247

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

#Trump:

"UNLOCK the next mystery, get ready for the next adventure - you know who you are."

"NEVER QUIT. NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER EVER."
