So the pool reporter was told not to go to the game with Pence because he 'wasnt going to stay very long'. think of all the birth control we could pay for with a quarter of a million dollars... Think of the preschool options, how it could help the homeless, water and supplies for PR... But a publicity stunt is totes the way we should be spending the taxpayers dollars. You could send some really nice paper towels to San Juan

I just hopped on, have we checked in with our Napa and Sonoma people today? The fires are really scary. My grandma is in Santa Rosa waiting to see if she will be evacuated. Our car is covered with ash all the way in southern Marin. There's a thread in GD. ETA: These fires are so scary and I haven't seen anything about them until I logged on here this morning and went looking. Nate apparently flooded parts of Mississippi and I've only seen one story by NPR about it. Everything is getting overshadowed.

Our car is covered with ash all the way in southern Marin. There is a thread on the General Discussion board. Definitely affecting some of our friends. It’s so scary. I hope your grandma is ok and doesn’t need to evacuate.

Feinstein is running again. I really think you should age out of being able to run for Senate if you're 85 when you start a new 6-year term. Regardless of party. Damn, that surprises me. There were rumors going around a few weeks ago that Schiff was preparing to take her place. I was hopeful that he would use this to springboard a run for POTUS. I'm conflicted bc I really like DiFi. And if we take back the house, she'll be chairperson of SJC, which would be delicious Eta I meant take back the Senate, obv

The fires did actually just start late yesterday. When I went to bed at 11 they were two smallish fires with a lot of wind. I had no idea what it would be by the time I woke up at 6. It was very fast.

Hi guys. I know I haven't been around these parts much lately, but I wanted to share this with people that might appreciate it. My view Friday night: They interviewed a Democratic gubernatorial candidate which was great. Ana Marie Cox joined them and she was great. They were their usual, insightful, awesome selves and I might just be in love with Jon Favreau that much more (IT'S A HEALTHY CRUSH DAMMIT). It was all just really great.

I’m so jealous, silverspoon. Favs is ok, but Lovett is my absolute favorite. I just can’t get enough of him.

He is obviously confused about what the "EP" in EPA stands for because everything he does is the exact opposite of protecting the environment and usually just helps big corporations instead.

So attendees of the now infamous Trump Tower meeting were asked to sign NDA's. Not at all suspicious.

Idk. I've not been in that position but when you're the third wife of a public figure I would think you'd be accustomed to tuning out comments from all sorts of persons, including the first two wives. Responding seems....dramatic and petty. I don't even know what Ivana said beyond that she made Trump who he is, but don't even dignify that stuff.

mb3 Agreed. Ignore it. Unless, of course, you need to help your husband distract from his gazillion missteps, then by all means.

I don’t believe “taking the high road” is a particularly valued skill in that family.

so either they're all really thin skinned, or Donald himself insisted on FLOTUS' office releasing a statement.

Its also a way of controlling the news cycle. OH LOOK FLOTUS tweeted a smack to the first wife! The more nonsense they can put into the air (Corker, this, Pence leaving, etc) the more they can undo everything they want without as much scrutiny. Like DeVos, and the EPA because those get a shorter news coverage.

And I am in no way implying that NFL protests are nonsense but they have turned the narrative 180 from its original intention.

I'm kind of feeling a way about Kamala asking me to donate to DiFi.
I should probably just give them the $3 they want and move on.

I have no doubt that a good amount of the culture wars stuff, like Pence's bs, is designed to play to the base. But y'all really think POTUS was like "let's make my wife and my ex fight" so I can hide these EO's that I'm going to have signing ceremonies for. He loves that there's nothing people can do about his EO's and what his cabinet does.
Also, if POTUS did have FLOTUS issue that statement, we will know about it as soon as he's done golfing and back on his phone. "Melania wanted to be here today to tell you that I was the one who dragged Ivana."

Ivana also said she takes full credit for raising the older three kids to be the people they are today, so clearly she's living in delusion-land if she thinks that is something to brag about.
