John Judis: Is Trump a White Nationalist or Is He Experiencing a Second Childhood? (TPM)
As shown by [Trump's] response to the neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville, and to the death of a demonstrator, he continues to incite and polarize. The question is why. I have three different kinds of reasons to offer, each of which partially, but not entirely, explain Trump's behavior.
Born Craig Kenneth Bruderlin, this American actor, producer, and director has won two Golden Globes, an Emmy, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. By what name is he better known?
The Jetsons is an American animated sitcom produced by Hanna-Barbera, originally airing in primetime from September 23, 1962, to March 17, 1963, then later in syndication, with new episodes in 1985 to 1987 as part of The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera block. It was Hanna-Barbera's Space Age counterpart to The Flintstones.
While the Flintstones live in a world with machines powered by birds and dinosaurs, the Jetsons live in a world with elaborate robotic contraptions, aliens, holograms, and whimsical inventions. The original series comprised 24 episodes and aired on Sunday nights on ABC beginning September 23, 1962, with primetime reruns continuing through September 22, 1963. It debuted as the first program broadcast in color on ABC-TV. (Only a handful of ABC-TV stations were capable of broadcasting in color in the early 1960s.) In contrast, The Flintstones, while always produced in color, was broadcast in black-and-white for its first two seasons.

The Jettisons, never cared for the show. I can't remember watching a full episode. I like a lot of cartoon shows, old and new, but not the Jettisons. Not my cup of tea.

A "Jetsons" live action series has scored a put pilot order at ABC, Variety has learned.
Based on the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon, the series would be a multi-cam sitcom set 100 years in the future that follows the exploits of the Jetson family.
Robert Zemeckis will executive produce along with Jack Rapke via their Compari Entertainment banner. Gary Janetti, who has written for and produced shows like "Family Guy" and "Will & Grace," will write and executive produce. Compari's Jackie Levine will serve as a co-executive producer. Warner Bros. Television will produce in association with Nickelby Inc. and Compari.
The original "Jetsons" animated series aired for 24 episodes on ABC from 1962-1963 in primetime as a futuristic counterpart to the pre-historic animated sitcom "The Flintstones." It followed George, Jane, Judy, and Elroy Jetson along with their robot maid Rosie and family dog Astro. The series was later revived by Hanna-Barbera in 1985 in syndication with 41 new episodes being produced. The animated "Jetsons: The Movie" was released in theaters in 1990. The movie was the last original "Jetsons" project produced until the 2017 direct-to-DVD release "The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania!"

The editor of the New York Times editorial board on Wednesday took the witness stand in a lawsuit filed by former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin (R-Useless), who claims that a June editorial in the paper defamed her by linking her to a 2011 mass shooting.
James Bennet testified at a hearing before U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in a Manhattan federal court that he meant to link Palin to an "overall climate" of incitement to political violence, but not to say she caused the shooting.
Bennett was called to testify as Rakoff considers whether to dismiss the case or allow it to go to trial. To proceed, Palin must show she has a plausible claim that the Times acted with "actual malice."
Palin, the former half-term Alaska governor who was Republican presidential candidate John McCain's running mate in an unsuccessful 2008 campaign, is seeking in excess of $75,000 for compensatory, special and punitive damages.
The lawsuit concerns a June 14 editorial about the mass shooting at a Virginia baseball field that injured four people, including Republican Representative Steve Scalise.
Donald Trump's (R-Unstable) comments about the white nationalist rally last weekend are hurting not just his political standing, but his pocketbook.
Three charities announced Thursday that they were canceling fundraisers at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, a sign the president's business is starting to suffer backlash from his comments Tuesday about the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The Cleveland Clinic said in a statement that it decided not to hold its annual event at his Palm Beach resort after "careful consideration" of a number of issues. It didn't elaborate, but the Ohio-based hospital was already under pressure to shift venues.
A few hours after the hospital pulled out, the American Cancer Society said it also planned to shift the venue of its annual fundraiser, called the 2018 Island of Palm Beach gala.
Late Thursday, the American Friends of Magen David Adom announced it had decided not to hold its 2018 fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago. The group, which raises money for an ambulance service in Israel, has been holding its annual gala at the resort since 2012.

Missouri utility regulators on Wednesday rejected a proposed high-voltage power line to carry wind power across the Midwest to eastern states, delivering a significant setback to developers of one of the nation's longest transmission lines.
The decision marked the second time in a little over two years that the Missouri Public Service Commission has denied a request from Clean Line Energy Partners to build its power line through the state.
The 780-mile-long line would run from wind farms in western Kansas through Missouri and Illinois to Indiana, where it would connect with a power grid for eastern states. All the other states along its route already have granted approval to the $2.3 billion project.
Most members of Missouri's regulatory panel said they, too, wanted to approve the high-profile project but felt compelled to vote against it because of a recent state appeals court ruling. The judges in that case said utilities must first get the consent of counties to string a power line across roads before state approval can be granted. Clean Line lacks approval from several Missouri counties where its line is opposed by local residents.
Four of the five members of the Missouri Public Service Commission said Wednesday that they now believe the project is needed, economically feasible and beneficial to the public - and would have approved it were it not for the March appeals court ruling making local permission a prerequisite.
Amazon is the largest web-based retailer on the planet, raking in billions of dollars every year and employing over 340,000 workers. When you're that big - and the president of the United States likes to go on early-morning Twitter rants before his handlers can distract him - there's a good chance you're going to be mentioned once or twice. That's what happened this morning, as Donald Trump (R-Crooked) slammed Amazon for what he perceives as damage to the US job market.
"Amazon is doing great damage to tax paying retailers," Trump alleged. "Towns, cities, and states throughout the U.S. are being hurt - many jobs being lost!"
Donald Trump - yes, the same Donald Trump who outsources cheap labor at every opportunity - is taking a particularly hard-line stance with Amazon, and it's not the first time the company has run afoul of him. Trump, who brags that he's "smart" for not paying taxes, regularly attacks the online retailer for what he seems to believe is abuse of the tax system.
As with most of Trump's tweets, it's entirely unclear what action he intends to take on what he perceives as wrongdoing on the part of Amazon.

Hope Hicks, the former Trump campaign spokesperson and a top presidential aide, has been named interim White House Communications Director following the dramatic departure of former Director Anthony Scaramucci.
Ms Hicks, who is Mr Trump's longest-serving political aide - and one of his most trusted - will fill the position while the White House looks for a permanent replacement.
Since Mr Trump's inauguration, Ms Hicks has served as both presidential adviser and White House Director of Strategic Communications. She earns the White House's top salary, and is said to play a key role in deciding which reporters get access to the President. She maintains close ties with Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner.
Ms Hicks enters a position fraught with tension, following her predecessor's headline-making departure. Mr Scaramucci lasted 10 days in his White House role, departing after giving a profanity-laden tirade to a reporter for the New Yorker. His predecessor, Michael Dubke, left the office in May amid rumours that he would be fired.
The position is a difficult one, centred in the middle of an ongoing fight between Mr Trump and the media. The President, who has denounced the mainstream press as "fake news" and retweeted violent memes about CNN, is also said to crave attention from outlets like the New York Times.
Overshadowed by his decision to describe some of those who took part in the far-right rally in Charlottesville as "very fine people", Donald Trump (R-Corrupt) announced plans to scrap regulations designed to protect roads and other infrastructure from climate change.
Under Barack Obama, the US federal government was required to consider the effects of global warming when planning infrastructure, such as the risk of flooding from predicted sea level rise.
The US President wants to spend $200bn of government money over 10 years on improving infrastructure as part of a $1 trillion programme involving private funds.
However a Republican from South Florida, where recent flooding has seen fish swim in the streets of Miami, one of the most vulnerable cities in the world to sea level rise, condemned Mr Trump's plans saying they were not "fiscally conservative" but "irresponsible".
Speaking at Trump Tower in New York, Mr Trump said: "I just signed a new Executive Order to dramatically reform the nation's badly broken infrastructure permitting process.

Lee monument in Emancipation Park Tuesday, Aug. 15 in Charlottesville, Va. Alex Fields Jr., is charged with second-degree murder and other counts after authorities say he rammed his car into a crowd of counterprotesters, including Heyer, Saturday, where a white supremacist rally took place.

Criticism grew Thursday over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's limited response to a US white supremacist rally and Donald Trump's (R-Nazi Sympathizer) controversial remarks about it, with calls for him to speak out against anti-Semitism.
Netanyahu had a testy relationship with Barack Obama, a Democrat who often pressured him over Israeli settlement building, but he has repeatedly praised Republican Trump.
So far, Netanyahu's only response to the weekend white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia that ended in bloodshed was a tweet on Tuesday that many saw as vague.
"Outraged by expressions of anti-Semitism, neo-Nazism and racism. Everyone should oppose this hatred," Netanyahu posted in English.
A Facebook post by Netanyahu's son Yair further raised eyebrows. He denounced "neo-Nazi scum," but added that they were "dying out" and seemed to suggest left-wing counter-protesters "who hate my country" were a growing threat.
A white nationalist who was featured in a Vice News documentary about the "Unite the Right" Charlottesville marchers at the weekend has posted a video in which he tearfully complains about his current plight.
Christopher Cantwell took part in the rally in support of Confederate hero Robert E Lee in Virginia on Saturday, which escalated to violence and ended in the death of a woman.
"I have been told there's a warrant out for my arrest," he said while crying on the video. "With everything that's happening, I don't think it's very wise for me to go anywhere. There's a state of emergency. The National Guard is here!"
He also said urged police to contact him if there was a warrant out for his arrest.
"I am armed, I do not want violence with you. I'm terrified, I'm afraid you're going to kill me, I really am," he said.
