"True to form, almost none of the promises Trump made to the American people — the promises he made to win a second term in office — were truthful. Virtually all of them were a lie," writes our columnist Jamelle Bouie.

Its hard not to see the transparently planned "incident" choreographed by Trump and Vance as a planned justification,not just for deserting Ukraine but deserting NATO as well. Putin knows this. It's his ultimate wet dream to have spent years cultivating an idiot to become as useful as Trump will.

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available? It's literally called Library Extension.
