So do we have a thread for who we think is getting axed next?
apparently McMaster said 45 had the intellect of a kindergartener. Which I think does a huge disservice to all 5/6 year olds.

I was at a party on Friday with my co-workers and the sex harassment scandals came up (with regard to Franken), and my boss said she feels like all of these sexual harassment claims take away from people who have experienced truly horrible sexual assault. It took everything in my power not to get up and walk out.

Tillerson: We still hope for diplomacy [with North Korea]...This is all part of continuing to turn the pressure up, and we'll continue to turn the pressure up on North Korea by encouraging other countries to join us and to take action on their own.
He's reciting a list of other Asian and African countries that have agreed to halt trade with North Korea

that was weird.
Was the threat of violence against the US president by the NK State media a determining factor in designating the regime as a sponsor of terrorism?
Rex with the one word answer. "No."

This may have to be a conversation for another time, but my H and I were discussing it yesterday. When it comes to allegations of sexual harassment and assault, are we willing, as a society, to allow room for evolution and contrition? We were talking about this with Franken in mind because, at the time, it was one instance, years ago, and he has obviously done a lot of work to try to help women since then. We were just kind of wondering, without any effort to excuse the really sick thing he did, is there room for a person to grow and change and to apologize? Or is past behavior a universally disqualifying factor? Right now my general attitude is basically, "FRO, Al, I'm done with you" but will his resignation really do anything to change the climate that permitted his behavior to happen (and to stay secret for so long)? Anyway. I'm really just babbling. I've thought a lot about this and I think part of the problem is that those who have done it, have not been afraid of consequences because in the past they were protected or it was just swept under the rug or whatever the fucked up reason. I think until we can get to a point where there are real consequences for this type of behavior, then maybe the conversation can change a little bit as far as personal growth and second chances.

woof. What short straw did Francesca draw to have to watch Fox and Friends this morning?
She asked whether POTUS would support a write-in campaign in Alabama.
"The president feels that it's up to the people of Alabama to make that determination."
(That's not an answer to the question tho?)

John Gizzi's face is killing me as John Decker lists what he's thankful for. He's like, "I'm a veteran journalist. How the fuck is this my life?"

Guys it's a special day, Goyal got a seat!
Does POTUS regret intervening in the case of the UCLA basketball players?
POTUS will always use his office to help Americans. He was happy to intervene.

Theres a Buckeye in the house too...
I'm really distracted by their thankfulness comments and not paying attention to what SHS is saying.
other than the WH isnt saying Moore should withdraw and the people of the great state of AL should make the decision.
