Lot of links and pics at NASA Spaceflight.
Treacher isn’t impressed with The Bulwark. Neither am I.
I agree with this, but the piece seems to have fizzled out at the end.
Bob Zimmerman isn’t impressed.

The thing is, while I don’t find anything that Cohen says about Trump incredible, it’s things that I’ve always assumed about him. I doubt that there are very many people whose minds were changed about Trump as a result of what the scumbag said. And his statement at the end that Trump wouldn’t go easily if he loses the election is pretty ironic, considering that the Left and the Democrats (but I repeat myself), over two years into the term, still haven’t accepted their defeat.
