I think many are coming around to at least *considering* that Trump's "Alabama Dorian" escapade *may* have been an effort to curry favor with Alabama voters so they'll vote out "the Senate's most endangered Democrat" before Trump needs GOP Senate votes for any... special purposes
(For those who wonder how potential hurricane relief funds and positioning oneself as the Savior of Alabama could aid Trump's standing in a state where his support for Roy Moore damaged him, remember that his Alabama tweets *consistently* positioned him as the state's protector.)
That said, I don't know what goes through the man's head and don't claim to; of *course* he never admits fault, and of *course* he misreads reports, and of *course* he gets facts wrong carelessly, but there's no harm in trying to see possible factors present across the landscape.

I've been thinking about what I or any of us can say on 9/11. I remember where I was—but we all do. I think often about how it changed us—but we all do.

What's begun to flag is our post-9/11 sense that government incompetence can endanger us. It still can—and more should say so.
1/ The President of the United States is a national security threat. Not because he's a Russian "spy" or "asset"—two things I do not believe—but because he acts with his own, not America's, interests at heart. Always. And that is *staggeringly* dangerous.

And more should say so.
2/ Every day Trump endangers us. Posting classified satellite photos. Needlessly enraging the Taliban. Coddling Kim Jong Un with "love letters." Sharing classified intelligence with foreigners in the Oval Office. Attacking our intelligence agencies.

He endangers us *every day*.

If Bishop wins in #NC09, let's all laud Trump's game plan!

1) Being a draft-dodger and calling a marine a coward;
2) being America's least successful businessman and calling a successful entrepreneur a socialist; and
3) being a man with no beliefs who calls a moderate a radical.
1/ I was worried the GOP would again commit systemic election fraud in #NC09, but then Democrat Dan McCready's *best* counties starting reporting their votes en masse and Republican Dan Bishop immediately began pulling away, so now I feel much better that perfidy will be punished
2/ I'm sure it makes sense that Bishop would start to pad his lead as his opponent's best counties report the bulk of their votes—in the same way the last election the GOP won in #NC09 made sense until we found it was stolen

Here's to punishing election fraud with election wins!

As NC votes in an election Trump is obsessed with, and he simultaneously tweets about helping NC post-hurricane, my note that Trump may have positioned AL as a Dorian victim partly to raise his profile as a leader in advance of the 2020 AL Senate election looks better and better
1/ Remember, Trump doesn't care about loss of life. As Dorian was bearing down on America, his only interest was in *complimenting the hurricane for being spectacular*—thinking he'd soak up some sort of creepy reflected luster from that. So the AL nonsense looks partly political.
2/ If you don't think Trump would pretend to be interested in Alabama being in the path of a hurricane when he knew it wasn't partly to position himself better politically for a critical 2020 Senate race, I don't know what presidency you've been watching. The man's a *sociopath*.

@wdunlap “Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, #Trump dismissed his past appearances with #Epstein …Epstein’s personal little black book, leaked by an employee in 2009, contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, his wife, Melania, and several people who worked for him.”

@wdunlap “But even beyond #Trump’s own words further up, there’s a good deal of evidence the two were friendly social acquaintances at least through the early 2000s”

“Trump called #Epstein twice in November 2004, according to message pads seized”

@SenSanders Actually, none of the observers that went there, including the UN, said that the elections were fraudulent. It was the US who sent no observers and the Opposition who refused to participate who claimed that. As a matter of fact, the Opposition begged the UN not to send observers

@SenSanders What did many observers actually say about the elections in Venezuela?

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.

Many Iranians criticised one of BBC Farsi’s journalists for her comments on Iran-Hezbullah relations. Some have even threatened her that she won’t be allowed to go back to Iran after the fall of the regime. Many Iranians believe some of @bbcpersian journalists support the regime.
In the past few days some anti-BBC slogans have been chanted by the protesters in Iran. In a comment one of BBCFarsi journalist claims that ‘Trump wants to turn Iran into another Syria by starting a civil war etc’. The same propaganda which is pumped out by Iranian state media.
Some of @BBCPersian journalists block anyone who criticises them. One of its journalists in particular has publicly supported A.Khamenei on his social media pages. I have written to a few MPs and the BBC about. Will see if BBC is interested in opening an investigation.

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
