@joshtpm Just a heads-up that the TPM RSS feed has been throwing Mozilla Thunderbird's built-in RSS reader an error the past couple of days. Looks like there's a blank first line that's giving it fits, because it's no longer W3C-formatted. Check it out:

@BigZaphod @Twitterrific Updated and fixed! Thanks again, gang. Happy Labor Day weekend to you all

[Brian Dipert @BDipert]

@Twitterrific I updated to v5.4 last night (MacOS 10.12.6) and images are now missing from posts. I can see them if I click on where they should be in order to view full size, but they're invisible in the timeline. Clear Cache restores them but only temporarily. Ideas?

[Brian Dipert @BDipert]

@BigZaphod @Twitterrific Outstanding, gang! Kudos for the prompt response.

[Brian Dipert @BDipert]

@BigZaphod @Twitterrific Great! Let me know what you find. I generally tend to keep running on my primary system the oldest supported version of the O/S (barring an app incompatibility that would force an upgrade) in the spirit of “if it isn’t broken…”. And since MacOS Catalina hasn’t exited beta yet….

[Brian Dipert @BDipert]

@BigZaphod @Twitterrific I've got another system here (several actually) running 10.13.6. Let me see if I can replicate the problem there. Stand by

[Brian Dipert @BDipert]

@BigZaphod @Twitterrific MacOS 10.12.6. Please see original message. Thanks!

Again, meaning conversations other than privileged conversations with the client.

2. It would be improper for the President’s *personal criminal defense lawyer* to be having *any* conversation about pardons because it would be improper—indeed, impeachable—to use a pardon (or even the suggestion of one) as part of the President’s *personal* defense.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

1. Whatever conversations Giuliani or any of Trump’s personal lawyers had with anyone other than Trump about pardons are *not* privileged.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

• 33% of Republicans think Trump committed crimes before taking office;
• Voters think Trump is dishonest by a margin of over 2 to 1 (65%-30%), including 26% of Republicans;
• 22% think he is a good role model for children; 71% do not, including 37% of Republicans ...

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

I will concede him this: Wherever he goes and whatever he does, Trump will always be summa cum liar. #SummaCumLiar

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

“Trump has frequently boasted that he was a stellar student, but he declined throughout the 2016 campaign to release any of his academic records, telling The Washington Post then, ‘I’m not letting you look at anything.’”

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

���Last year, [Trump] said he ‘heard I was first in my class’ at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton business program, ... but Trump’s name does not appear on the school’s dean’s list or on the list of students who received academic honors in his class of 1968.”
