Resolutely Ignorant

• He won't hear what he doesn't want to hear, Senator Scott. 
• From Raw Story:

  Donald Trump signed into law a Congressional resolution condemning white supremacists on Thursday, after lawmakers maneuvered the president into backing a text triggered by his equivocal response to racial violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
  
  Trump signed the resolution “rejecting White nationalists, White supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis, and other hate groups,” which was unanimously passed by Congress earlier in the week.
  
  The overwhelming passage of the text meant that Trump would have likely had any attempted presidential veto overturned.
  
  In a statement, Trump said he was “pleased to sign” the measure, adding that “as Americans, we condemn the recent violence in Charlottesville and oppose hatred, bigotry, and racism in all forms.”

• Oh, Facebook.  The Pro Publica report.  Making prostitutes look principled.  Big Bad Bald Bastard yelled at/about them for accepting a purchase of advertising from Russian "sources."  boing boing published Facebook's statement.  (In the extremely unlikely circumstance that a Facebook account has my name on it, it is, unequivocally a fake.)
