I think you're going for "both sides are bad" but instead, it comes across that the right-wings constant use of ridiculous hyperbole broke political dialogue to the point that conversation is impossible, and it allows them to engage in blatant trickery, because people are used to dismissing big claims as lies.

There were some concerns about whether Bernie improperly used his influence as a Senator to help his wife secure those loans, although I don't believe that angle is being officially investigated.

I am 100% certain the main reason this is happening is that the House of Saud knew they could get Trump on board with whatever power play they wanted to pull. A President who could find Qatar on a map would've stopped this from getting anywhere close to this far.

So, the idea was that literally all the men were supposed to drown?

Qatar update: Qatar has dismissed the Saudi blocs demands — which include such terrorism thwarting measures as "Shut down Al Jazeera" and " kick out all Turkish troops" — as 'neither reasonable or actionable' and Qatar royals have written op eds in the Washington Post and a German newspaper flatly denying that they're…

Saudi Arabia has said that economic pressure will increase…somehow. Flying in all their food is expensive, but I'm not sure anybody has any long term plan.

Anybody from a safe Democrat district would get the "Big City Values" card played (sidenote: remember when Ted Cruz repeatedly attacked Trumps New York City Values in Iowa, only to end up campaigning against him in New York? Simpler times). Anyway, how popular is, say, Paul Ryan with Democrats? It doesn't matter if…

Pretty good chance even blue states get fucked. Except the rich, who disproportionately live in blue states.

I mean, all these special elections so far were long shots for the Democrats anyway.

Tilerson and the State Department made some attempts to mediate, but Trump has repeatedly tweeted his support for Saudi Arabia and parroted the "Qatar is funding terrorism" rationale, so ball is Kuwaits court now.

Qatar update: The Gulf states unveiled their demands, and it's an unapologetic shakedown. The demands include expelling all Turkish troops, cutting all diplomatic ties to Iran—with whom Qatar operates a large gas field—cutting all ties to and expelling all members of the Muslim Brotherhood, and completely shutting…

If Trump says he's lying, does that mean he's telling the truth?

It's from the same showrunner as Weeds and OITNB, so I'm sure the first season will be interesting.

When did O'Neal start doing movie reviews?

The Iron Sheikh was right!

Emily V Gordon: Dawn of Justice

Just go stand outside the White House and yell.

Coming soon: Facebook the Television Show! Hosted by, let's say, Andy Cohen?

"Rich people are naturally superior and should rule over the poor" was one of the main themes of his campaign; surprising it took him this long to just say it out loud. Anyway, as long as he doesn't insult white people it's fine.

Qatar update: the U.S. State Department has said they are "mystified" that Saudi Arabia , Egypt, et al; still have not released an official list of demands. There was apparently some communication afterwards, since Tillerson later said that he understands that an official list of demands has been created, but not yet…
