Fun with Twitter

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signs a bill into law banning red-light traffic cameras in the nation's second-largest state https://t.co/DEvaV3Kyhy

Houston started these. My personal experience with them was: they were useless. Without personnel to actually review what the cameras saw, or hardware to store it (never did understand which it was), they were expensive intersection decorations that did not work. Besides, you can't charge the car for a traffic violation, you have to charge the driver (again, personal experience). And are those cameras that good? No. (Neither is the system. A local toll road authority sent me a fine for running through a toll booth without paying. They had a picture! Except it wasn't my car. The computer said it was my license plate, but that's not what the picture showed. The same kind of system would send out notices on red light violations.) Good riddance, sez I.

While on his State Visit to the UK, Trump used Twitter to…

- Insult his host's appearance;
- Spread conspiracies;
- Go on racist rants;
- Bad mouth other countries;
- Attack his own country; and
- Brag about himself.

He is literally the world’s worst dinner party guest.

Never mind his face, where did he get those tails? The Jr. department of a bargain basement? I hate to criticize attire, but that's an embarrassment to the nation.

And again: yup.

As the Queen hosts Trump & entourage for dinner, take a deep breath and remember that she has hosted heads of state, including kings, emperors, and yes, U.S. presidents, for state visits for over 60 years. She's seen every kind of gaffe. Trump is no big deal.

Doesn't make him any less embarrassing, though.
