But lemondrop they would have to souls, morals, and see women as more than sex objects. Also, how much media coverage will this get? Plus also, has there ever been one fucking consequence for anything he has ever done? ::hangs head and tries not to spiral on the state of our government::

Damn!
To be a fly on the wall in the Conway household. I mean, my H and I are polar political opposites, but when one spouse is a mouthpiece for this administration... I don’t know how they do it.

But women are more than sex objects! We’re also incubators. Duh.

George’s trolling is just... I’m doing that Italian gesture where they kiss their fingertips and toss them in the air while yelling “Bellissimo”. It’s like that.

Cuomo has tweeted that he has signed equal pay legislation at this parade.
AND that the women play the same game as the men, but better...

Dan Rather’s post on FB in re: 45’s speech on climate change is 🎉
C&P below:
“As I think more about President Trump's outrageous speech on the environment, there were the usual features: distortions, misrepresentations, and of course outright lies. If I had submitted the text to my high school English teacher, she would have spilled so much red ink marking it up the paper would have looked like a crime scene. And indeed it was a crime, against facts, science, and the health of our planet.
But I was also struck by something else, which I think we are going to see a lot more of as the campaign heats up: cynicism.
There is no plausible way for a president who claims our climate crisis is a hoax, who demeans data and research, who stocks his administration with oil and gas lobbyists and seeks to undercut our sensitive and hard-fought environmental regulations, to credibly claim to be a steward of our planet. It is so farcical why even pretend? Because he and especially his advisors (otherwise known as enablers and opportunists) know their policies are deeply unpopular.
They know they are losing the political battle over climate and science, like they lost the battle over gay marriage. They can fire up the base as sure as they fire up a coal plant, but in the suburbs and among a growing number of younger and educated voters the polluters are on the wrong side of the electorate. The GOP will not win these voters in large margins, but they know they needs to cut into the lead the Democrats are building. So, the speech.
Expect President Trump to try to moderate his image, not in the cruelty, shortsightedness, or capriciousness of his policies, but in the words he uses. Much of this will be putting a lipstick of lies on the pig. The question is will he get away with it? Will the press say he's "moderating?" Will there be a false equivalence test with the Democratic nominee?
The good news is that a growing number of voters seem to be willing to vote on climate. The bad news is that we have the exact wrong president at the most crucial moment in this crisis. Will he be able to lie his way out of this while his cronies exploit the health of our planet for their financial gain, or will the American people hold him accountable?
I predict we will see a lot more of these kinds of tactics. Will the environment and the president's cynicism, a cynicism based on shameless lies, be at the heart of the framing for the upcoming election?”

A colleague of mine is going down to FL this weekend to celebrate his birthday. In discussing the PITA it is to go through the airport in ATL, he casually mentioned it's even harder for him because he is BRINGING A FUCKING GUN WITH HIM.
I was like....hang on....what?
He's like, "it's Miami, I want to protect myself."
I.....
.....
I just will never understand, I think.

I didn't know where to share this, so I hope you guys don't mind. Today marks 17 years since my family and I came to the US as refugees. I know this country has it's flaws, but to me, it's still the greatest country in the world because it gave me and my family a fresh new start at life and a place to call home. It's the greatest because of good people like you guys who welcome others like me with open arms. I may not participate in here as much as I'd like, but I see and appreciate all the good that you guys are doing by informing others and fighting for the basic human rights of all people. ❤️

Holy fucking shit. This Tweet is from November. It's a long thread and pretty graphic so be warned. I just posted a more recent thread with the videos from him that was retweeted by people I follow over on the dedicated Epstein thread. I am aghast and disgusted that this gained no traction back in November when he first tweeted about these accusations. Ugh.

enchanted dc2london not sure who to tag- but I've been getting redirects to random webpages (mostly doctor websites) when I try to go to the general page at HIH via probroads in a chrome web browser. It's never happened to me before, and now several times today.
