The Stupid Cuban Missile Crisis Donald Trump is unfit for office. He might do genocide before Congress recognizes that.

Had anyone in a position of power during the Cuban Missile Crisis acted this stupidly, we’d all be dead. www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/the-stupid...

Why the Strait of Hormuz has been a global commerce chokepoint for centuries Blocking the Persian Gulf is the oldest trick in the book. Its power hasn’t waned at all. Iran knows this – why didn’t Trump?

(archive document) Memorandum of Disapproval I have today vetoed H.R. 11897, a bill which would name the United States Courthouse and Federal Office Building in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the "President Gerald R. Ford Federal Office Building." Although I appreciate the honor expressed by the Congress in enacting this legislation, I intend to continue the policy of past Administrations that the executive branch not endorse the naming of Federal office buildings. Generally, the executive branch has deferred to the desires of the Congress on such matters. Although several Federal office buildings have been named for incumbent members of the Congress, I know of none that have been named for a President while still in office. I consider it improper for me as an incumbent President to approve legislation which places my name on a Federal building. This is a precedent I do not wish to establish. In general, I feel this way: office buildings which house the functions of Government should not be used as monuments to Federal officials, but rather as workshops for the people's business. In particular, I would hope our Presidents will be remembered for their labors in building better Government rather than for their efforts in constructing public works projects to themselves.

Gerald Ford vetoed naming a post office after himself.

Don't do that.

fabulous conversation; fyi, Janice's sound quality was uneven, and if she began speaking while you were still speaking, we could hear nothing that she said.
