    We can't expect compassion or empathy from this President, but how about enlightened self interest?  Most Trump coastal properties are at risk for flooding through climate change. Here's Mar-a Lago:

      Nah, I'm calling that a nil-nil draw, at best. 

      Caribou Barbie may be a virulent pox, but whenever a legitimate news source, in a rush to publication, puts out erroneous information (whether or not it is a case of malice, or editorial negligence,  or insufficient fact checking) it only serves to feed those RWNJ screaming idiots with their "fake news" charges, and then also undermines the ability of all the rest of the press to provide legitimate news information to the public.

        That's doubly true when the error reflects bias.  Last night on msnbc Ali Velshi sneered at Trump because he didn't know Finland was a member of Nato and we thus were obligated to defend them against Russia.  Apparently, Ali is the only Pundit who doesn't know what the term Finlandization means.  I yelled at the screen for 15 minutes until Ali got the word and backed down.  Finland ain't in the NATO military alliance, though it is in some associated groups.

        Trump stinks but liberal bias doesn't help the public see through his lies.

    The question is…how long (in view of Melanias' trip to Texas) before we see a "Disaster Relief Barbie" in the toy stores?
