And those who can be fooled all the time are the most easily conned.

In the 466 days since he took the oath of office, President Trump has made 3,001 false or misleading claims, according to The Fact Checker’s database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement uttered by the president.
That’s an average of nearly 6.5 claims a day.
When we first started this project for the president’s first 100 days, he averaged 4.9 claims a day. Slowly, the average number of claims has been creeping up.
Indeed, since we last updated this tally two months ago, the president has averaged about 9 claims a day.

Considering he only "works" 4-5 hours a day, that's a lie ever half hour that he's "working." I suppose it would not be an exaggeration to say that lying is his job.

NEW YORK — A New York state judge ruled Thursday that a high-rise condo building called “Trump Place” may remove that name from its facade, rejecting an argument from President Trump’s company that the building was permanently obligated to keep it.
Judge Eileen Bransten rejected the main argument of the Trump Organization: That the license agreement that allowed the building at 200 Riverside Boulevard to call itself “Trump Place” also barred the building from ever taking the name down.
“That simply is not what the document says,” Bransten said, reading her ruling aloud from the bench in a lower Manhattan state court house.

Today is World Press Freedom Day. Funny there was no Rose Garden celebration for something so fundamental to freedom.

And the 2nd amendment helps with the assault on the other rights how, exactly?
Useless, utterly useless.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein ordered a review of the handbook last year, department spokesperson Ian Prior told BuzzFeed News, who first reported the changes.
The purpose of the overhaul – the largest since 1997 – was to “identify redundant sections and language, areas that required greater clarity, and any content that needed to be added to help Department attorneys perform core prosecutorial functions,” Mr Prior said.
Also:
Another new section, “reporting media contacts” tells employees they must report any contact with members of the media about DOJ matters to their designated media representative.
Previous language in the handbook did not make such a stipulation. Instead, it said the department’s Office of Public Affairs should be informed of requests from national media organisations to discuss “in-depth stories and matters affecting the Department of Justice, or matters of national significance”.
That language is consistent with language I've seen in other public and private company policy manuals. I think it also speaks directly to the "leaks" issue, which Rosenstein has gone on record about (even though CNN saw the "evil hand" of Trump in the statement ).
