Due process

"Just because you don’t see a judge doesn’t mean you aren’t receiving due process" -- пресс-секретарь Трампа.

Well, good to know.

Special visit today with a great friend -- and now, a best-selling author. Luckily I had a freshly laundered pair of @BillClinton socks to mark the occasion. pic.twitter.com/v9jb4sRexh

Планетарии

Я был вчера в планетарии на днях, и вот что подумал.

Верно ли, что шлемы виртуальной реальности, даже нынешнее первое поколение, уже способны на большее, чем планетарии, и в будущем качество виртуальной реальности (resolution, field of view etc.) будет улучшаться, в то время, как планетарии особо лучше не станут?

И если это так, то означает ли это, что дни планетариев сочтены?

"Go home, Jim!"

Meg Kinnard пишет в ожидании выступления президента:

Sitting next to @Acosta is the ... ahem ... "best" seat in the house. Frequent chanting of "@CNN sucks," "Go home, Jim," after which many have then asked for selfies and autographs. 🤷‍♀️😂 #SCGov

Jim Acosta -- корреспондент CNN.

Вот пара видеороликов.

Here’s some video of a woman berating @Acosta. This went on for several minutes as many in the crowd cheered her on. As someone who’s covered my share of Trump rallies, it feels like 2016 all over again. pic.twitter.com/j0SF2nFDvG

One last clip of the exchange as she accuses @Acosta of not respecting the United States. When he replies that he does, she says, “No! You do not respect it!” #SCGov pic.twitter.com/lZhMDKwAED

Текущие события

Сару Сандерс отказались обслуживать в ресторане. Потому что она работает пресс-секретарем Трампа.

Хорошо ли это, правильно ли? Я считаю, что неправильно, и мне это не нравится.

Буду ли я выступать с осуждением владельцев ресторана? Нет. И я не считаю вообще правильным тратить на это время.

Иглесиас верно сказал, используя этот пример:

What we need more than anything else from reporters is self-respect.

Zero people who covered the 2016 election on any level sincerely believe that a single Trump supporter is profoundly interested in rules of decorum.

Smart people are acting dumb for no good reason.

Harley-Davidson announces plans to move more motorcycle production overseas

Harley-Davidson Inc. said Monday it plans to move production of motorcycles destined for the European Union to its international factories, in response to tariffs the EU has imposed on its bikes. [...]

Harley said the impact of the 31 percent tariffs, up from 6 percent previously, could be $100 million per year on the company, or roughly $2,200 per motorcycle.

“Harley-Davidson believes the tremendous cost increase, if passed onto its dealers and retail customers, would have an immediate and lasting detrimental impact to its business in the region, reducing customer access to Harley-Davidson products and negatively impacting the sustainability of its dealers’ businesses,” the company said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

Реакция Трампа:

Surprised that Harley-Davidson, of all companies, would be the first to wave the White Flag. I fought hard for them and ultimately they will not pay tariffs selling into the E.U., which has hurt us badly on trade, down $151 Billion. Taxes just a Harley excuse - be patient! #MAGA

По поводу ultimately...

Jordan Weissmann:

One telling thing about Harley-Davidson's decision today is that they're willing to spend money and 18 months moving their production abroad. They clearly don't see Trump's trade war as a short blip.
