mb3, I think you can still get a deal if you have Amazon Prime. AmEx also ran a special for awhile for their cardholders. Don’t worry, I got my 6 months free. Thanks Bezos!

Well remember, the decent political operatives won't work for Donald Trump. He's choosing terribly, but he's also choosing from the crappy pool. So this is shocking, but it's also not.

Where are they finding all of these people? Did the job descriptions say "terrible people only"? I think that if someone had any ounce of moral scruples, they would never work that closely with this administration. I can't fathom working in that adminstration and reconciling a lot of what has been said or done with what is morally right.

I think I would be tempted to stay and try to protect the integrity of my agency/organization despite Trump doing, you know, what he does. On the other hand, eff this noise, I can make 25k more in the private sector. I don't blame anyone for either choice. I can really see the reasoning behind both choices.

Wow, Bret Stephens:
"If Allen is in fact a pedophile, he appears to have acted on his evil fantasies exactly once. Compare that to Larry Nassar’s 265 identified victims."

That's cool, then. But while we're at it, we should probably release everyone imprisoned for committing just one murder because, come on, guys, there are serial killers out there who have killed like 20 people!

Ok, I'm not being hyperbolic here, I hope someone is investigating Sean Hannity and this WikiLeaks situation.

Whoa Rachel Maddow kind of had a go at Rachel Brand 😬 Seconds after interviewing Ben Wittes, a friend of Ms Brand, she said something to the effect of, "She saw the hellstorm coming, put the drawbridge down and ran away."

This is like Veep, but even Veep would say "nope, not plausible" Pence's team had the wrong name for the S Korea ambassador to DC.

This has Icetown written all over it. Really though, I hope they are taking it seriously. Sounds like very crowded primaries, and ugh, I didn't realize Kobach is running.

But even I'm side-eying NYT for running this one. It's like they're actively trying to show they won't let the Twitter outrage stop them.

Adam Schiff: Mr. President, what you call “political” are actually called facts, and your concern for sources and methods would be more convincing if you hadn’t decided to release the GOP memo (“100%”) before reading it and over the objections of the FBI.
DJT: The Democrats sent a very political and long response memo which they knew, because of sources and methods (and more), would have to be heavily redacted, whereupon they would blame the White House for lack of transparency. Told them to re-do and send back in proper form!

Wait what? He married his wife's adopted daughter. I don't care that she was, what, 20? You didn’t know about that? No I did. But I’m saying how was the Dylan thing a one time thing when he married his ex wife’s daughter. She may have been 20 but that doesn’t make it okay.

I thought everyone knew he'd married a young woman he'd basically raised. I can’t believe people still defending him after that, let alone what’s happening now.

This is like Veep, but even Veep would say "nope, not plausible" Pence's team had the wrong name for the S Korea ambassador to DC. Would watch an Olympics/North Korea episode of Veep: Selina would bond with Kim Jong Un’s sister at a spa even though they weren’t supposed to interact. Gary would whisper the wrong name of the SK ambassador to Selina. Dan would try to hook up with Olympic athletes and fixate on all the sex happening in the Athlete Village. Mike would try to arrange an illegal adoption of a Korean child. Turns out Richard’s fluent in Korean. Kent would end up having been a former Olympic-medal-winning taekwando athlete.

I read something on Woody Allen’s movies that essentially the only way he gets financing now is because he attracts stars and stars have typically done them because there’s a higher chance of Oscar. But his movies mostly lose money.
So I’m mildly hopeful that #metoo will make it toxic for stars to work with him (which...is not excusing those who have already worked with him) and his whole gig collapses.

Mark Hamill responds to DT’s dumbass tweets of all of the women who have accused 45 of sexual assault and have not received due process.
Because, let’s face it, due process is often a tragic joke in cases of violence against women in the States.
