    Agreed with the other commentator. It is extremely unlikely that Pangram’s success is due to its cheating by reading metadata.

Today the monster child is sworn in as President

What can one say?  America is in very bad shape.  The person becoming President isn't fit to do any responsible, adult job (not even Mafia boss, his lifelong role model position).  Who would even let him mind the kids or the dog?  To make matters worse, he is surrounded by some not-so-crypto fascists.   We learned last time that the country can carry on reasonably well even when the President is an incompetent, ignorant and malevolent buffoon.  Will we be so lucky this time around?  And how will it end?

Meanwhile, the NYT compiles a list of the monster child's remarks about his "enemies,", confirming, yet again, that projection is the core of his psychic armory, since everything he says about his "enemies" applies entirely to him:  he is the one who “should be prosecuted for what []he has done to our country"; he is the “washed up Creepster…a lowlife who should be in jail, money seized, for disseminating…highly Classified information";  he is, in fact, "the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America," along with his Trump "crime family"; he is "a sleazebag and traitor, and should be prosecuted for the damage he has done to our Country!”; and he is the real "enemy from within."
