Overnight Open Thread (15 Jul 2017)

You know you have a problem if even Snopes is slapping you around. The lies of Donald Trump's critics, and how they shape his many personas.

The entire episode is a remarkable example of something bordering on collective hallucination, most likely brought on by confirmation bias. Here hundreds of thousands of people - including professional journalists working for influential news organizations, and a chat show host with more than three million nightly viewers - literally heard Trump say something he never said, in most cases probably because it confirmed a pre-existing image of the President as a poorly read, culturally ignorant buffoon.

Jupiter

Why Jupiter's Great Red Spot refuses to die.

California

Will California ever thrive again? No. Not while it is under the thumb of Democrats.

Game Of Thrones

Alright, the wait is over and tomorrow night, the next season of GoT begins. Here's a handy recap of seasons 1 thru 6.

Parking

I don't have a problem with parking. It's the time stuck in traffic because dumbass drivers keep causing wrecks. The average Bostonian spends 53 hours per year searching for parking. NY was #1 at 107 hours.

Future War

What the largest battle of the decade says about the future of war. A near peer opponent would be a bit different.

Consequences

Teen who blasted 'F-k Tha Police' at cop's funeral booted from apartment. Good.

Vangelis

One of my favorite film scores.

Teachers Gone Wild

Man, even the not hawt teachers are participating. Jail for music teacher, 54, who blames male student, 17, for tricking her into having sex 'like a used car saleman'. So when does the MSM start the 'rape culture' discussion for public school teachers like they do for colleges and male students?

Voter De-registrations

Colorado's 3,400 vote de-registrations scaring Democrats. I wonder if it is occurring elsewhere?

Dumbassery

Dear God, when will this BS end? Feminist magazine explains why you must not gender your pets. Seriously?
