TFG may recall a 2011 image of #RickPerry
#CornDog

Texas Governor Rick Perry eats a corn dog at the Iowa State Fair (Aug. 15, 2011)

Although the corn dog has a wide circumference, Mr. Perry's mouth accommodates it handily.

In 2016, Trump was elected on a #GOP platform that advocated "the right of the United States citizens of Puerto Rico to be admitted to the Union as a fully sovereign state." [*]

After the Republicans took both houses of Congress and the Presidency, Mitch McConnell denounced proposals for #PuertoRico statehood as "full bore socialism."

DOCUMENTS PROVE LENINE AND TROTZKY HIRED BY GERMANS

[from New York Times, Dec. 20, 1924]

HITLER TAMED BY PRISON
Released on Parole, He Is Expected to Return to Austria.

BERLIN, Dec. 20.—Adolph Hitler, once the demi-god of the reactionary ex- tremists, was released on pardle from imprisonment ' at Fortress Landsberg, Bavaaria. today and immediately left in an auto for Munich. He looked a much sadder and wiser man today than last Spring when he, with Ludendorff and other radical extremists, appeared before & Munich court charged with conspiracy to overthrow the Government.

His behavior during imprisonment convinced the authorities that, like his political organization, known as the Völkischer, was no longer to be feared. It is belleved he will retire to private life and return to Austria, the country of his birth.

A key observation: "there's an even more fundamental flaw in the argument for the shareholder supremacy rule: it's impossible to know if the rule has been broken.
The shareholder supremacy rule is an unfalsifiable proposition."

Mea culpa. Thanks for the correction!

I closed my Twitter account, so I can't see for myself. Indeed, it looks like Ms. Swift avoids Twitter for reasons similar to my own!

I wondered the same thing.

Taylor Swift's website https://www.taylorswift.com/ links to her social media accounts (at the bottom of the page): @taylorswift13 is legit.

My beliefs are simple, and hardly radical: Libraries are critical infrastructure. Access to information is a human right. When you buy a book you should truly own it. When a library buys a book, they should be able to lend it. Readers should be able to read without any third parties spying over their shoulders, or preventing them from accessing the materials they have legally obtained.

News item: Folk singer Bob Dylan has recorded a special version of Cole Porter’s “Don’t Fence Me In” for the upcoming movie about Ronald Reagan, titled “Reagan.” The film stars noted Donald Trump supporter Dennis Quaid as the title character.

In case Bob reads this, I have some other songs he may want to re-record. Everybody must get Roger Stoned!
