Today’s comic by Ruben Bolling is Trump protects Americans:
• 911 is a useless embarrassment for millions of Americans. Here is why.
• Watch the hell this guy put his computer through with three decades of Windows updates:
YouTuber Andrew Tait, or TheRasteri, here updates his 2011 "Chain of Fools" endeavor to include the versions he'd since missed, along with a few new experiments. The original attempt took three days to complete, he wrote on his blog, so it's likely this attempt took even longer. [...]
Beginning with MS DOS 3.10—which he notes wasn't even available as a retail product before version 5, you had to buy a whole computer to get your hands on it—he uses VirtualBox to install every Windows operating system from there on up. This involves copying the disks onto the root of the C drive one by one.

• Physicians’ group focuses attention on health impacts of climate change: The Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health was unveiled Wednesday. The group represents more than half the nation’s physicians and includes 11 leading medical societies. Its objective is to inform citizens and policymakers about the impacts these physicians are actually seeing among their patients.
"It's not just one part of the country, we're hearing from physicians all over the country," said Mona Sarfarty, the director of the consortium, who also directs the Program for Climate and Health in the Center for Climate Change Communication at George Mason University. "The people suffering the most harm are kids, pregnant women and people with any kind of chronic condition, especially any kind of heart or lung condition."
• Salon labels it the Hannibal Lecter budget:
Trump’s proposed 2018 budget is another illustration of how the butcher’s bill has come due. It can fairly be described as political cannibalism when it comes to Trump’s most ardent supporters.
• Survey shows big gap between Democrats and Republicans when it comes to anti-semitism:
Contrary to the long-standing neoconservative mantra that the left poses a greater threat to Jews than the right, a national poll released late last week suggests that Democrats are considerably more sensitive to—and worried about—anti-Semitism than Republicans.
The Quinnipiac University survey, conducted March 2-6, found a yawning difference between Republicans and Democrats on whether they considered “prejudice against Jewish people in the United States today … a very serious problem.” Over half of self-identified Democrats (51%) agreed that it was indeed “very serious,” while less than one in five (18%) Republican respondents described it that way.
A total of 87% of Democrats said that they considered the problem either “very” or “somewhat” serious. By contrast, only 53% of Republicans agreed—a 34-point gap.
• On today’s Kagro in the Morning show: The computer that runs the show seems to be falling apart. Still, Trump’s failing worse. His “administration” is at war with itself. DonT Care is a bomb. Muslim Ban 2.0 is a flop. Also: Why is Steve King a thing? Mining Trump’s taxes. GOPerv watch, part 1000.
