And now windmills cause cancer.

What?

QuoteTrump's war on windmills now includes wild cancer claim
(...)
"Hillary wanted to put up wind," said President Donald Trump at a fundraiser for Republicans in Washington Tuesday, kicking off an extended riff about the evils of windmills -- wind turbines, more accurately -- and the inadequacy of wind energy. It's worth looking at in full since it's clearly becoming part of his stump speech and feeds into his larger distrust of renewable energy and his mocking of climate change.
(...)
Trump: "If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75% in value."
(...)
Trump: "And they say the noise causes cancer. You told me that one, OK." (Then he made circles with his hands and a noise with his mouth.) "You know the thing makes so..."

If producing lots of air and obnoxious noise was bad for one's health, then Trump and everyone around him would be long dead by now.

Not if the deleterious effects are offset by a healthy diet of fried chicken and hamberders.

Just generally they have been fickle friends.

Yeah, they're also for solar power.  Until they aren't anymore.

Trump just fired the head of the secret service.  Head of Homeland security was yesterday.  Looks like a purge.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

He tried to shut down the border last month with no warning.

Nielsen balking on that is likely what ultimately got her fired.

Such an order of course violates US law, international treaties that the US signed, one of Trump's own executive orders and would cause a massive recession.

I think Syt memory-holed the post...
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
