EASY LISTENING DEP’T.: [THE NEW YORK TIMES] "Randy Shumway, chairman of the state Homeless Services Board, said in an interview, ‘Utah will end a harmful culture of permissiveness,’ he said, ‘and guide homeless people towards human thriving.’” An accountability center. Because if there's one lesson that homeless people with drug addiction problems need drummed into them, it's that the things they do can have negative consequences. No more culture of permissiveness toward people not having a place to

EASY LISTENING DEP’T.: On the website, the Times this morning published a piece that really digs into and emphasizes the point that its reporters keep making, down inside the incremental coverage of Donald Trump's ongoing campaign of slaughter at sea. It's a NEWS ANALYSIS piece by Charlie Savage, “The peril of a White House that flaunts its indifference to the law. The White House has made no legal argument explaining its bald claim that the president has wartime power to summarily kill people

EASY LISTENING DEP’T.: The process of tearing down the East Wing,” the story continues, “was expected to be completed as soon as this weekend, two senior administration officials said, as Mr. Trump moved rapidly to carry out a passion project that he said was necessary to host state dinners and other events. But,” the story then says, “the previously unannounced decision to demolish the East Wing was at odds with Mr. Trump's previous statements about the project.” What the Times means here is that

EASY LISTENING DEP’T.: Donald Trump's demolition of the East Wing of the White House continued yesterday, advancing well past the facade to smash the main structure. The New York Times belatedly realized that this was, in fact, front page news, and put the picture on the front page at the top, four columns wide. But, being the Times, decided that the way to deal with the president unilaterally choosing to demolish a major section of the White House and replace it with an immense new structure

EASY LISTENING DEP’T.: Protesters showing up to wave Israeli flags outside the building does not mean that the "tension was spilling out of the synagogue." It's like when anti semitic protesters showed up on Broadway outside the fence of Columbia University, and their behavior was incorporated into the brief against the Columbia campus protesters, the people who are on the outside are on the outside for a reason, and if they were representative of the situation inside, they would probably be

Along with the social media post announcing the killing, the Times writes, "the President also posted a 33 second aerial surveillance video showing a small boat floating and then being struck by a

EASY LISTENING DEP’T.: Basically, if you can imagine the stupidest and most destructive ways to either spend more money or not spend money, the bill is going to hit all of them. Despite the fact that nobody but a handful of lunatics really wants this to happen, it's on its way to happening. The easy interpretation of this is that the country is in the hands of a malevolent dictator, and it is, but there's a strange hollowness at the center of that dictatorship.
