It's an interesting place. I have a friend who goes there kind of a lot. He trains people to train airline pilots, using the flight simulators made by the company he works for. He kind of likes it. He says he wouldn't want to live there, and you sure as hell don't want to be on the wrong side of the cops, but it's pleasant and tidy and people seem happy to see foreigners.

I just read about how the political journalists boycotted Boris Johnson's briefing today after selected reporters were barred from attending. Not here, it's just "sucks to be you NPR reporters but we're getting on the plane and following Mike Pompass.."

As for NPR's Michele Kelemen being kicked off the plane for this trip ...

Kelemen's lucky she didn't get kicked off the plane halfway through the flight, pour encourager les autres.

I don't want to imagine that. I have enough nightmares as it is.

Everything everyone in the Trump administration does is perfect. Perfect perfect perfect. Just a crapload of perfection.

Every time Mike does something outrageously idiotic I ask myself about what he may have learned and since forgotten from his time at West Point and as a commissioned officer. How can this idiot justify anything he's doing with the training and educational background he has?
