Person of proximity...yet another new term, to me anyway.

Trump is the most classless (and stupidest) person on the planet. Unbelievably crass. He is unfit for office, and most likely unfit to be called human

Trump levels political attack on Rob Reiner after his killing

President Donald Trump is blaming Rob Reiner’s outspoken opposition to the president for the actor-director’s killing, delivering the unsubstantiated claim in a post that seemed intent on decrying his opponents even in the face of a tragedy. The statement Monday, even for Trump, was a shocking comment that came as police were still investigating the deaths of the director and his wife as an apparent homicide. The couple were found dead at their home Sunday in Los Angeles. Trump has a long track record of inflammatory remarks, but his comments were a drastic departure from the role presidents typically play in offering a message of consolation or tribute after the death of a public figure.

I avoid using Nextdoor because around here, it's frequently an unfettered sewer, but I did peek today because I was told there was discussion of upcoming health insurance increases and people reporting their new premiums. The quick math in my head says that the average increase was 33% higher than last year. This is a disgrace.

As an aside, we won't have to pay this, thanks to Medicare, but the amount billed for my wife's knee replacement was $267,000. Unbelievable.

Another line of attack: White House sets up a hall of shame for news outlets

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s White House is taking on the role of media critic and asking for help from “everyday Americans.” Over the Thanksgiving weekend, the White House launched a web portal it says will spotlight bias on the part of news outlets, targeting the Boston Globe, CBS News …
