Donald Trump and George Santos are symptoms of a diseased Republican party that has become a safe haven for clowns, crooks, charlatans, and conspiratorial crackpots.

Donald Trump knew the crowd he amassed at the Capitol on Jan. 6 was armed and could turn violent, Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide, testified. She said he wanted security precautions lifted because his supporters were not there to attack him. nyti.ms/3OP4xlA

Best line of the night from my fathead friend Peter Cheney @cheneydrive "Reguly's expenses are thicker than his book" (my book is a mere 140 pages).
We are saddened by the news that Paul Smart lost his life in a road traffic collision today while riding his motorcycle Paul was a hugely popular character in and out of the paddock. He was much loved by his family, friends and fans around the world and our thoughts are with them

Alexander Hamilton warned us against choosing any leader who was a “daring usurper” of “avarice,” who would try to grab power by aggravating and exploiting the “jealousies and apprehensions” of the American people.

I can’t remember anything quite like the White House attack on Dr. Anthony Fauci. As U.S. infection rates soar, trying to make a scapegoat of the most admired public servant in America isn’t going to work. And it’s plain dishonest. nytimes.com/2020/07/12/us/po…

Since I am far from being a #pistonhead myself, when I see beautiful machines like the one I #spotted in #junctiontriangle earlier this week I really miss @cheneydrive old "Spotted" column.

Hypocrisy Olympics gold medal goes to Ivanka: no one has done more damage to free speech & civil discourse than her father. Nepotism Barbie needs to go away
Replying to @IvankaTrump
Our nation’s campuses should be bastions of free speech. Cancel culture and viewpoint discrimination are antithetical to academia. Listening to one another is important now more than ever! m.youtube.com/watch?feature=…

Trump’s handling of Coronavirus makes every previous president look like Winston Churchill. GW Bush handled 9-11, Obama dealt with economic meltdown. And now we have this preening, spray-tanned fool in the Oval Office, mismanaging a health crisis. Winston is spinning in his grave

Millions of soldiers died in the mud and cold of WW1 trench warfare. But @realDonaldTrump wouldn’t go out in the rain to honor them this week. He should be ashamed, but Trump is incapable of that. The Greatest Generation spins in its grave

It's all in the details.  The 620R not only benefits from a supercharger and 2.0L engine, there's also carbon canards, an air-flow optimised nose cone,  a race-developed cooling package, a gunmetal chassis and a 6-speed sequential gearbox... delivering 0-60mph in 2.79 seconds.
