Is the @nytimes updates written to grab the readers attention? Is it jet lag?

Irregardless, this is a group of narcissists that require constant ego stroking, cues from a man with cognitive dysfunction, etc.

What a bitter disappointment.

Hurricane Melissa is a slow moving Cat 5 with a projected path through Jamaica, Haiti, DR, the Bahamas, etc. and up to Bermuda.

Glance at the front page of @nytimes.com - double take. Were Don & Mike holding hands? 🤝

Starting to edit photos in my mind to emphasize the symbolism - a sign of the times?

This along with tax policies contributed to the decline of middle class and aided the rise of the oligarchy class. It’s why the proposed tax cuts have a them v us feel.
