Almost correct.
Edit: Makes me wonder how/where he also got a concurrent OD of mercury, was he in South America in the months prior?

Trump selling the presidency. He stuns oil executives by demanding they give him $1 billion for his campaign, in exchange for a “deal” to lower their taxes and eliminate regulations on them if he’s re-elected.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

When asked how he juggles his court cases, the campaign, and his family life, Trump proudly (?) announced, 'I’m very ambidextrous, so to speak, I can do a lot of things at one time.'

At one point it was an open question as to whether character mattered in a president.

It will be a long time before a Republican can claim that character matters without getting a spit take.

Looks like somebody learned a new word. Not what it means, of course. But a new word nonetheless.
