Was just browsing the list of "On This Day" on Wikipedia and discovered it's SHS's birthday. Will there actually be a briefing today? Also holy crap I'm a year older than her. ETA: Today is also Sebastian "Bucky/Winter Soldier" Stan's birthday. He and SHS are the same age.

This could only be made more amazing if Goodlatte was running for re-election.

Omarosa isn't worried about the legality of her recording because she "has protections."
ETA' That should say "legal repercussions" not "legality."

H and I went to a comedy show (Steve Martin & Martin short) last night and this joke had me laughing:
“Paul Manafort is in a lot of trouble. This guy, he thinks ‘the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth’ are three separate things.”

Melissa Howard, a GOP candidate for FL State Legislature appears to have not graduated from college, as her campaign biography claims. When this info became public she called it “fake news” and later posted a photo of her diploma from Miami University. The university has responded that they a) have no record of her graduating, although she did attend their school for 4 years; b) the diploma does not match the design of theirs; c) the degree listed on the diploma is not one that you can earn at Miami, nor was it a possible degree in the 90s when she claims to have graduated; d) the degree listed on the diploma does not match Howard’s declared major while attending Miami. Her campaign website has since been removed and a statement released that she is focusing on her family following her husband’s “cardiac event” (in quotes because that’s what the statement called it). www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/politics/wp/2018/08/11/florida-candidate-tried-to-prove-shes-a-college-graduate-the-school-says-her-diploma-is-fake/

I'm cool with Bucky, though.

Trump's executive time tweets about Omorosa are... something.

Happy Birthday Ls2012, They just had the founders of Bikers for Tr. on CNN. He's pissed at HD motorcycles because they are moving production out of the US because of the trade tariffs enacted by 45 and they have said its unsustainable to stay here. Here is the kicker. He sells t-shirts, Poppy asked him about his tshirt. they are manufactured in HAITI because its too expensive to have them made here. But heres his patch that is 100% made in Virginia Beach. I'm not touching the O thing. She is a monster of his own making in his own image. Sucks to look in a mirror and see the worst you are staring back at you. Also I'm trying to think if sneaking a cell into the sit room would be considered espionage. And why FBI agents aren't banging down her door to confiscate all her electronics.

do they fire everyone in the Sit Room? I'm trying to figure this out. It makes no sense. I would think that theres a conference room, HR, somewhere OTHER than the supposed most secure room in the WH.

It's a hot topic in the local area today. Jason Kessler et al got a police escort / use of a (mostly private) train car from Metro. Some people have said it was in an effort to keep everyone safe while others decry alleged preferential treatment. What do you think?

I don't know why the concept of HR in the White House is making me laugh. If they did have HR, it seems like they all have quit.

Some people have said it was in an effort to keep everyone safe — after three people died in Charlottesville last year — while others decry alleged preferential treatment. What do you think? Would they have offered the same protection to anyone from BLM? I don't think so.

tater, of course they didn't. There are loads of ways to get into D.C. from Virginia and the fact that WMATA took such steps (and the police, taxpayer dollars) to keep white supremacists safe and cozy makes me angry.

Exactly my point. I'm pissed about the whole thing, but once again, not surprised.

Fuck nazis, and the assholes that aide them (looking at you, wmata). Cowards.
I haven't heard Omarosa's tape, but is it possible she's lying about it being in the sit room? Seems like there have to be some laws about that, if she did. Why wouldn't they just fire her somewhere else? Idk, all my knowledge of the functioning of the white house comes from watching The West Wing.
Thanks for the bday wishes, ladies!
