Mod: If you like presidents who lie about the deadly incompetence they showed in fighting a plague that has killed 200,000 Americans, then last night's Town Hall meeting with Donald Trump will make your happy list.

Trump’s town hall panned as ‘nothing but a great reminder to vote for Biden’ (Raw Storylink): President Donald Trump’s decision to hold a town hall meeting in Philadelphia was questioned on Tuesday. ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos hosted the town hall, featuring questions from area voters in the swing state of Pennsylvania. The forum was titled, “The President and the People.”

It was an unfamiliar format for Trump, who is rarely questioned by voters, preferred the adulation from his fan club at his MAGA rallies.

Outside of his Fox News bubble, Trump was repeatedly taken to task for the crises facing America. Trump responded defensively, spouting off lie after lie.

“We’re 8 minutes into this town hall and Trump has already lied to the audience repeatedly about Covid, about masks, about his praise for China, about the travel ban, about Fauci, about Biden, and more. It’s an avalanche of lies. Period,” CNN’s Marshall Cohen tweeted. “So much of this is recycled lies.”

Mod: A portion of the readers of this blog live in imminent danger of having to flee the Bobcat Fire. Myself included. Here is a column from Robert Reich that also burns.

The West is burning and Trump doesn’t care(The Baltimore Sunlink): The West is burning. Wildfires in California, Oregon and Washington are incinerating homes, killing scores of people, sickening many others, causing hundreds of thousands to evacuate, burning entire towns to the ground, consuming millions of acres and blanketing the western third of the United States with thick, acrid and dangerous smoke.

Yet the president has said and done almost nothing. A month ago, Donald Trump wanted to protect lives in Oregon and California from “rioters and looters.”

He sent federal forces into the streets of Portland and threatened to send them to Oakland and Los Angeles. Today, Portland is in danger of being burned and Oakland and Los Angeles are under health alerts. Mr. Trump has said little.

One reason: These states voted against him in 2016 and he still bears a grudge.
