ladybrienne I grew up a giants fan (before my defection to the patriots). Therefore I was obligated to hate the eagles on principle. A chunk of that hatred died today with this news. My heart has warmed in a way I didn’t think possible. A chunk died when you looked so happy at the parade too. I was like...”well if brienne likes them how bad can they be?” Damnit I don’t think I can hate the eagles anymore. The Flyers though... I'm a huge Pats fan and obviously have feelings about this year's Superbowl, but same - I can't hate them after this. Fuck Tr.ump and his pity party.

Truth be told, IDGAF what Melanie does, but I don't like the speculation is saw from David Frum and others that Trump beat her. It's so unnecessary.

As a counterpoint: Trump did beat and sexually assault his first wife, has a long history of sexual violence against women, and I don't think this is an outrageous thing to speculate about. Also, in my own circle, most of the people speculating were DV survivors who have seen a lot of other red flags that concern them. Regardless, I'm glad she appears to have recovered from her surgery. I sincerely hope she is well and that she just wanted a nice, long break from being First Lady while she recuperated. I hadn't heard about the DV rumors. I feel bad poking fun.

Fox News is so fucking gross.
They are showing a picture of an Eagles player, Zack Ertz, kneeling. He was not kneeling during the national anthem in protest.
HE WAS KNEELING IN PRAYER BECAUSE HE IS SUPER RELIGIOUS, AND IT WASN'T DURING THE ANTHEM.
JFC.

I've done it before with him and Melania, only because they just don't look happy together, and even that makes me feel a little icky.

I think because you could see and almost feel the affection the Obamas had for each other. They truly enjoyed each others company and it was apparent in body language and words. I don't believe Barrack ever called Michelle the wrong name. To go from that to this, is just so shocking.

2 of the pictures are of Zack Ertz, and he is deeply, deeply religious. I can't imagine how upset he is. Like this is so beyond nasty.

Fox News is trash. Always has been, always will be.
I'm sorry that Ertz is being used that way. It's not right.

That time line is interesting. There is definitely something there there. 45 can tweety tweet about his blasted witch hunt all he wants.
Also, isn't that tweet blasting Sessions basically admitting obstruction, in a way? He would have picked someone else he could have pressured into ending it.

Any person he would have picked for AG that was connected to the campaign would have been asked during confirmation if they were going to recuse themselves if the campaign was going to be investigated. Thats how the law is supposed to work. I think hes just tweeting to keep this in the air so by the time we get to the end, everyone is so tired of it, and there are so many conspiracy theories in the universe, that there will always be a kernel of doubt surrounding everything in the less engaged public. Hes good at it. If this were some dystopian novel it would make sense, unfortunately its real life.

Wow. That is really, really bad.
As much as I love those kids and feel thankful, I worry about them and shit like this, especially after what they have already gone through.
It really puts into perspective though how brave they are being in the face of a lot of ugliness and vitriol.

Pruitt used EPA aide(s) to help arrange a meeting with Chickfila for his wife to discuss a franchise opportunity. Is this real life?
