Meanwhile, Alexander Nix is on BBC like: "Fake news." Sure, Jan. You can see him literally looking for the words.

You can see him literally looking for the words. What was that show that had the profiler guy who would read microexpressions? I feel like everything about this screams "I'M NOT TELLING THE TRUTH!" Lie To Me...and Yes, he's definitely full of it.

I was at an event with Sheryl Sandberg last year where people were begging her to run for elected office. Crazy how bad they look here. $$$

It's been a while since I've posted here, but I just saw that Cynthia Nixon is making a bid for NY governor. I'm not a fan of Cuomo, but I'm not sure how I feel about a celebrity bid. Even if she is progressive. I wish Zephyr Teachout was going to make a go of it again, but I see that she is endorsing Nixon. I hear you, but I am so over Cuomo, and the trains are just-- completely broken and if she is going to make the subway + education as part of her platform, while also running left of Cuomo-- well then I'm cautiously optimistic right now. I feel like if she aligns herself with other smart people then it could be a good thing? Maybe? I think that it will be hard to unseat him without name recognition. I know it is brand new so I have to read more. I just got to say... Andy’s got to go. I’d vote for most NY Republicans before him again, and that’s saying a lot

Vom.
Also it's too bad LSJ isn't around anymore because now we live in a world where POTUS is 2 degrees of separation away from Pauly D.

So this popped up on my feed today. I know it's a movie, but the use of the hat is a very startling message. Death panels?

Hi everyone! My DW says you all miss me so I figured I would check in with you. I have been working really hard and preparing for the 20% increase of our student loan payment Things bothering me as of late: - Trump doing all he can to try and discredit Mueller to make his base push the GOP to remove him.
- Trump base being so brainless that they are falling for that plan and using them as sheep.
- Mississippi passing the harshest abortion law in history making abortion illegal after 15 weeks.
- Parts of children shooting other children not going to jail for their "common sense gun control". Clearly these people were not "common sense" enough. This story makes me SO Ragey.
- White House Press Troll SHS using her mouth to say words and not being arrested immediately.
- Trump hiring conspiracy theorists as part of national team.
- Steven Hawking being dead.... although now I think he has hidden some giant discovery that can save human kind just someone needs to go on a "National Treasure" style quest to find it.
- The meeting with North Korea and my looming fear that it is a hoax to get them in a room so Kim Jong Un can fire a nuke at the USA and all man baby Trump can do is watch.
- Martin Skrelli only got 7 years. He should be hot glued to the 405 during rush hour and forced to stay there for a week. That or be required to work at a sewage treatment plant.
- The rise of Christian Sharia law being peddled by the Republican party because "GOD" and "MERICA" and this county only being for white people or Christians. This is a country of all religions. Get over it.
- People buying Life Lock because of the Equifax hack or any credit issue they had when they don't realize Life Lock purchases their products from Equifax. The CIIIIRRCLEEE OF LIFEEEEEEE!
Things that I am happy about recently: - Secretly really enjoying news about Prince Harry and Meaghan Markle's wedding because she is just a great person and so is he and they are kind of life goals to helping people and still maintaining progressive to the times.
- Anything John Oliver (minus his understanding or misunderstanding of cryptocurrency)
- Reddit my be putting the BAN HAMMER to \r\TheDonald because it is full of racisms, sexists, and hate speech. Which leads me to wonder if the Republican party is becoming the party of hate because clearly the religiousness of it is becoming a cult.
I wish I had more but I am still at work and I can't think of anything right now. How have you all been? I have missing talking to dc2london . Congrats on the house I have been working 50+ hours a week and it will continue. Sigh. I will be lurking on down time but I will be back.

I am struggling with how much I hate FB and how I don’t know how I’d give it up with my BMBs being FB only these days. I could probably give it up if not for that.

Like personally awful or at Facebook? I had some problems with Lean In but not at the levl that makes me think she's awful. (The event I was at was a discussion about her book about grief and coping with grief.)

God, he's egotistical. And these surveys are super biased. But I still take them and yell type at him every time

Speaking of six degrees of the politics board, my friend revealed at dinner last night that Mueller himself swiped her into a secured room at Justice she'd left her coat in. And they shook hands. I asked if he was as sexy in real life as he seems and she acted like she didn't know what I meant. Are we the only ones?

Meh, just don't click through permissions on personality quizzes for awhile and you're good. PDQ: Seriously though, this exact issue is why MH was answering work emails at the dinner table tonight and I still don't see how this is the biggest story in the world right now.

Hey remember earlier today when there was a thing and they were gonna cut drug prices?
The ceo of Pfizer just got a ginormous pay raise. So I don’t think they really meant it. But it could just be me
Also wrt Mueller I think it’s us

Y'all must check out this story in The Upshot about a study done by Harvard and Stanford: "Extensive Data Shows Punishing Reach of Racism for Black Boys nyti.ms/2tYGuMu"The study, based on anonymous earnings and demographic data for virtually all Americans now in their late 30s, debunks a number of other widely held hypotheses about income inequality. Gaps persisted even when black and white boys grew up in families with the same income, similar family structures, similar education levels and even similar levels of accumulated wealth." The findings, survey design and the visualizations are all just jaw-dropping.

I am not surprised he had an affair. I am surprised he found someone to sleep with him. Then I consider how many people his dad has supposedly slept with and I guess it makes sense but it also doesn’t.

Also not sure Mueller is sexy. I was thinking about this after I wanted Comey photoshopped onto the gleeful devil. I think Mueller is probably incredibly angry right now at what he’s seeing- either the stuff he’s finding on Trump or how he sees the FBI being attacked.
