Props to you Emily for the fantastic Fishbone reference! You rock my socks!

Yep. Or he could have been Frank Pentangeli’d.

Agreed. This was some really irresponsible reporting—and the copyeditor wrote that hed just to generate clicks. Which is not cool at a legacy news organization.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was something strange here—and by that I mean that I’d believe Epstein paid the guards to be less attentive than they were…

I know a lot of people are saying how many things don’t add up in this situation and there’s so much implication that this was nefarious. And I wouldn’t necessarily be shocked to find out that in fact there was something more to this.

Here’s a weird-as-fuck interview with Epstein’s bodyguard/driver from NYMag:

Are you listening to Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast? Mario’s appearances are laugh riots.

Bette Davis knew about “Miss Dunaway” for years.

So he's Larry the Cable Guy with a guitar.

I assume some of the steam makes it up there, but you're probably right. 

Whenever anyone says “the media” I immediately think they’re kind of dumb. “The media” consists of thousands of individual outlets staffed by millions of individual people, all with their own points of view. Everyone who watches TV, uses the internet, listens to podcasts, etc. consumes “the media.” It’s absurd to boil…

It’s perfectly fine to correct me! It still goes to Reindeer’s point, though, that he threatened a pair of senators running for president (or senator and president-elect, whichever the case may be) and the Secret Service didn't investigate the threat. 

Struggling to imagine a sadder scenario than “begging Donald Trump Jr to take you back”.

She’s got a point. Even Tim Pool was invited, and he only got famous because he was roommates with a couple of important activists. But she shouldn’t bitch publicly; she’ll probably be the White House Press Secretary this time next year.

Seriously. I actually think the way she worded that statement is fairly crafty. She’s not saying “I love Trump”, she’s talking about what people (erroneously) thought they were voting for (lower drug prices, less corruption) which *is* what Turmp was promising. And McConnell *is* opposed to what Turmp promised. It’s a …

...and it turns out looking like a glob of baked white clay

That’s weird. I Google the pops and I can find them in all kinds of stores. I wonder if your region doesn’t test well for banana-flavored products and they just didn’t reintroduce them after the shutdown. Their website doesn’t have a thing where you can track down individual products, but I bet you could email them…

We have the banana pops at Publix and Walmart. We have a distributor nearby in Mobile, AL so that might have something to do with it. But Blue Bell is definitely still making them or making again.

Family also didn’t give his mother a happy childhood. In fact, her unhappy child was directly caused by family wealth.

I mean why shouldn’t a gossip columnist shit on an actual journalist who has been on the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan reporting along with tragedies such as the Pulse Shooting, the Haitian Earthquakes and the devastation in Puerto Rico? Along with being a Peabody, Emmy and Cronkite award recipient?
