He also started his address to Japanese sailors with wishing them a Happy Memorial Day. :hmm:

And he's going to be here over the D-Day 75th anniversary, I wonder how he'll conduct himself?  :hmm:

QuoteUS energy department rebrands fossil fuels as 'molecules of freedom'
Press release from department said increasing export capacity is 'critical to spreading freedom gas throughout the world'

America is the land of freedom, as any politician will be happy to tell you. What you don't hear quite so often is that the stuff under the land is also apparently made of freedom as well. That is, at least according to a news release this week from the Department of Energy (DoE).

Mark W Menezes, the US undersecretary of energy, bestowed a peculiar honorific on our continent's natural resources, dubbing it "freedom gas" in a release touting the DoE's approval of increased exports of natural gas produced by a Freeport LNG terminal off the coast of Texas.

"Increasing export capacity from the Freeport LNG project is critical to spreading freedom gas throughout the world by giving America's allies a diverse and affordable source of clean energy," he said.

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

Every President between FDR and GHWB has a ship named after them (even the short-term President Ford), so it isn't that hard a stretch to believe in a USS Donald J Trump.

It'll depend on what Congressional Republicans think of his legacy however.

It's still incredible to consider that 40% of adult citizens look at this man and see a President.  A man who has to cite to the presumption of innocence as a justification for remaining in office.
One thing that is obvious is that humanity is still in the beginning stages of understanding how human minds work (or rather how they fail to work).  I don't think it was widely realized until recently how easily people can be brainwashed in the absence of monopoly on information.

Indeed. Modern studies on human psychology are fascinating. If rather terrifying.

Haha, you guys think we're going to make it past Trump's Presidency!
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.

I wouldn't have a problem with a president saying that. :)
