As we await news on the #trumpindictment don’t forget that there was a tape of Donald and Michael Cohen discussing creating a “company”, presumably to pay for multiple cleanup operations like the Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels matters. If this can be established, Trump may be facing charges of not only FEC violations, but possibly bank fraud and wire fraud. #stormydaniels #davidpecker #michaelcohen #karenmcdougal #TrumpCrimeFamily https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2018/07/25/trump-cohen-tape-karen-mcdougal-legal-ramifications-column/834022002/

A good percentage of my friends are Nazis. That percentage is zero; that’s a good percentage of Nazi friends to have.

“In terms of days and moments lived, you’ll never again be as young as you are right now, so spend this day, the youth of your future, in a way that deflects regret. Invest in yourself. Have some fun. Do something important. Love somebody extra. In one sense, you’re just a kid, but a kid with enough years on her to know that every day is priceless.”

Utterly absurd.

Growing up in the 1970s and 80s, we had a set of “Jarts” and used to enjoy playing them on our lawn. But they were definitely dangerous and I’m not surprised so many people were injured and a few killed (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawn_darts )

As @Strandjunker notes, it only took *one* child’s death to galvanize Congress to act and ban metal lawn darts in 1988.

Yet today 3 children died, and the cowards in Congress refuse to act.
