And WTF is the part “ your people probably say something in a similar but slightly different language. But the fact is we are both in a little bit of a political bind”. Cute how he tries to sneak that in like its their problem, too. Uh no. This is your problem, Donny. All yours.

Apparently, part of the Art of the Deal is groveling.

So leave.

You forgot that Trump apparently told some golf buddies that he thought the White House was “a dump”.

I was waiting for her to defend herself by saying she wasn’t on Obamacare, but on the ACA.

RW’s got some pretty good radar for material, esp of late: Wild, Gone Girl, Big Little Lies.

And everyone outside of Tillerson, Mattis, and McMaster just screams “opportunist”, treating their position like it were an extended publicity tour for something more profitable.

I was talking to a couple visiting from Canada last week and we got into a discussion of our healthcare vs. their universal coverage, and one thing they told me made me skeptical single payer will ever happen here: They said 30% of their income is taken away in taxes. They’ve grown up with it and its just part of…

It never felt odd to me. Then again, I thought Hacksaw Ridge was war porn. Mel Gibson was totally getting off on showing the gore there. The lack of blood in Dunkirk didn’t make it any less realistic, and actually helped the intensity, imo.

This is about one thing: The adulation of making a grand entrance.

“But perhaps McCain’s illness will encourage some rigorous self-reflection, and at last, a change of heart. Perhaps he’ll realize that in his last years, he could take a meaningful stand against his increasingly brutal party—and help to save lives in the process.”

Yeah, if I had stupid money, I’d just buy a lake house and chill the fuck out for the rest of my life. Who needs this shit?

I thought Emilia was pretty good in the first scene with Varys, tbh. For a second, I thought she might actually execute the eunuch, but then I remembered that HBO showed a shot of him and Melisandre standing on the cliffs together and we haven’t seen that scene yet.

Uh no. The aerial sequence is one hour. The sea sequence is one day. And the beach sequences are one week. You might want to go back and re-watch it.

I get the complaint that the Dems are in danger of keeping people in power who are well past their shelf life. I just think if someone’s effective, then keep them. Reacting to everything the Republicans are saying is a bad idea, and it’s not like whoever would replace her would get a free ride from the opposition.

I know its only been six months, but Trump’s been really lucky nothing truly terrible has happened in the world, outside of saber rattling from NK. Most of the shit that’s happened has been caused by his own White House involving him. I shudder to think what would happen if there were an economic collapse or a 9/11…

I honestly have no idea why some Dems want to get rid of her. If we take back the House, she’s the best vote counter in the party, and she’s not afraid of Republicans.

He’s ready to go to the mat to keep us from seeing his taxes. They must be the Ark of the Covenant of returns.

The report that Trump is asking if he can pardon himself is the news of the day.

Deep sympathy for him and his family. That said, everyone keeps playing that moment from 2008 when he told that crazy woman who called Obama a Muslim off, and I’m realizing this might be the last (only?) great thing about him doing in public life. Other than that, there’s the Keating 5 and half heartedly criticizing…
