“60 cruise missiles” formerly known as “60 million taxpayer dollars”.

People not showing up is the free market in action. All these big bad private enterprises turn into fucking jellyfish when the invisible hand slaps them around.

There has been chatter that Trump was really pissed about the uproar that came with adding Bannon to the NSC in the first place. The narrative is that Trump wasn’t “fully briefed” about the ramifications of the order before signing it. Personally I think that’s a combination of a) he didn’t realize Bannon was…

It’s sort of textbook projection, isn’t it?

I’m always left a little extra dumbfounded by the placing of the gun on the ground. Even in his subconcious brain, the gun did that to him, rather than the reality of him doing it to himself.

That dude almost died by suicide and had the balls to say he “meant” to do that while at the same time very clearly trying to keep from vomiting and shitting himself at the realization that he just became an internet meme.

Does that really matter. The more friction, the more upset, the more controversy, the less damage she or her potential successor can cause.

More likely it’s a negotiating tactic. She’ll probably settle the wrongful termination claims in exchange for being released from her non-compete.

Like the letter writer who mentions—apparently not in jest—using lottery winnings to lease a $40,000 car?

The TRO seems like an end run against a non-compete agreement. She’s arguing that they’re trying to stifle her free speech but if I had to guess I would bet she signed a pretty broad non-compete and is only now realizing that it restricts her from “pundit-ing” on most if not all broadcast or social media platforms.

Just thinking out loud here, but maybe if your views are so extreme and unpopular that you need a security detail as Education Secretary, you won’t actually be that effective in the job and should just step down.

He might as well just go with his natural asshole smirk, his “I’m trying not to smirk but I feel so smug!” face is far more obnoxious.

The frozen water bottle is the only good idea in this post.

McMaster seems pretty savvy at the moment. Take the job, play it nice for a week or so to make sure there’s no “backsies” from Trump and team, and then drop the hammer: “look guys, between healthcare, Gorsuch, and all this Russia stuff, I know you guys don’t want to lose another high profile appointee, so here’s the…

And why are they trying to make her look like she’s literally on stage in a spotlight rather than comfortably sitting in her home drinking a glass of wine?

The light switch is either on, or it’s not. There is no gray area. Being uneasy or scared is not a justification for murder. Being afraid for your life is a different standard, and is a very clear one. We might have different standards for what that entails, but there is literally no rational and logical argument to…

Really badly photoshopped hands, obviously trying to make it look (after the fact) like Martha wasn’t drinking wine alone.

On a theoretical level though, republican gerrymandering seems to be almost exclusively for the purpose of maintaining white male hegemony.

If a person doesn’t want another persons death on their conscience, they can choose not to carry a weapon. But once you make the decision to carry a weapon, you have a responsibility to carry and use it safely and responsibly.

You’re going to get a thousand replies saying the same thing, but there is no such thing as a “warning shot”. That’s fucking Hollywood.
