Here's Laura McGann with the best article I've read about the incident where Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave a Virginia restaurant. Ezra Klein summarized it as follows: "The Trump administration's position is not that restaurants shouldn't discriminate against people whose life decisions they disagree with. It's that restaurants shouldn't discriminate against the Trump administration." I still don't know what I would have done in this situation but I'll tell you who's really wrong in this case: The Trump supporters who are phoning in death threats and posting hateful reviews of other, unaffiliated restaurants that have names similar to the one that kicked out Sarah.
Trump's current immigration policy isn't much more humane than the one he "fixed."
Fred Kaplan previews the upcoming Trump-Putin summit. It'll be a lot of kissing-up to Donald's role model and a display of, as Kaplan puts it, "Trump's naïve belief that personal relationships — specifically, his own charisma — can transcend national interests." This is, after all, a man who recently said, "If Vladimir Putin were sitting next to me at a table instead of one of the others and we were having dinner the other night in Canada, I could say, 'Would you do me a favor? Would you get out of Syria?' 'Would you do me a favor, would you get out of Ukraine? You shouldn't be there. Just come on.'"
Meanwhile, Kaplan doesn't think muoh of Trump's Space Force proposal, either.
Daniel Larison on how Trump keeps misrepresenting what happened with his North Korea summit, boasting about things in the agreement that aren't really in the agreement.
And getting back to the "border crisis" stuff, Matt Taibbi summarizes what he sees as hypocrisy on all sides. Supporters of Trump's policies keep trying to claim that he's doing nothing that Obama and other Democrats didn't do. That's not true but some of the folks opposing what's happening right now weren't all that uncomfy with at least the mentality behind it, pre-Trump.
