This speech is legitimately terrifying.

Ari Fleischer is really, really, REALLY not smart. I'm really confused by this.

Ari Fleischer is really, really, REALLY not smart. I'm really confused by this. He's blaming Stormy for not reporting a campaign finance law violation even though there totally wasn't a campaign finance violation. 1) How was she supposed to know which account the money came from? 2) Shouldn't the burden of camapign violation knowledge be on the asshole actually running for office? Or at least someone on his staff? 3} Sure, Jan (Ari).

I'm really confused by this. That's because it makes no sense. In order for Hillary to somehow be implicated, there would have to be an exchange of funds. There was not. The Hills bit really had me like 🤔

There will be no Nobel in Literature presented this year as the Swedish Academy tries to "contain the damage" from a sex abuse scandal. Ugh, I used to look forward to the nobel lit prize every year -- and my office has an annual pool (we are in Sweden but after this I am completely disillusioned. They need to just kick these folks out and start again. A few members have really just made the whole organization lose face, and they are some of the few who actually stayed and did not quit in disgust.

But I am glad they are not giving the award given the circumstances. Also, hi fellow EU member!

Virginia insurers requesting premium increase of 64% because of Trump policies.
Well fuck.

Virginia insurers requesting premium increase of 64% because of Trump policies. Well fuck. Yeah, I feel pretty defeated. Outright repeal failed, but all the things the GOP has done to chip away at the ACA have, sadly, been successful in undermining it anyway. Eventually the Obamacare marketplace will devolve into a high risk pool that no one can afford.

That is really sad about McCain. I hope everyone can give him and his family/friends the privacy and empathy they deserve right now. What a difficult time.

I feel for McCain's family. No one should have to suffer through what he is.

I’m watching the David letterman episode with Obama
I am in shock at how much he aged in tenish years. He looked so young at his first inauguration. I mean I knew it but just wow. (And really other than the grey he’s still pretty young looking)
