“On route”? Also, he’s starting his weekend golf vacations on Wednesday now? Jesus Christ.

here you go

A little O/T but apparently there’s been a terrorist attack in London and some people are saying that it was a fake attack conducted by Vladimir Putin, who’s worried about the collapsing poll numbers for Marine Le Pen and other European fascists, who like Trump, call him daddy. Some people are saying that.

This isn’t mostly harmless. Look at what we look like on the world stage. What happens when Trump alleges China’s done X, and there’s no way to independently verify it?

What do reporters in the white house press pool trying to hold Trump and Spicer accountable for baseless wiretapping accusations have to do with cable show talking heads chasing 24 hour news cycle ratings? You’re like a guy standing outside of a bakery protesting the treatment of cows.

I’m not sure it’s so harmless. Right now, sure. But if he’s not held to account for such a serious accusation, now and in the future, we risk this becoming acceptable behavior from the POTUS, which will likely cause real harm in the future.

This entire shitshow is just one deflection after another. You cannot get a straight answer from any of these buffoons as they just redirect to some other topic. Question about Obama wiretapping? Respond with completely off topic Russian allegations and why the media failed to cover them. How in the actual fuck do you…

“Trump’s ego drives his belief that he can win every confrontation no-matter-what...”

Game theory - the White House correspondents are painting Spicer and the Administration into a corner.. so that when the House and Senate committees do come out and say it didn’t happen, Trump, Spicer, et al. will look even more foolish.

At least Karl pressed him for an actual answer instead of letting Spicy just yell and ramble instead. They’re learning to be combative, which is nice.

I would have been fired if I went on strike on Weds, so I wanted to thank all of you who were able to participate and did. The women at my job were all very quietly cheering for you, and you inspired us to find our own, tiny ways to resist.

It’s like I told my friends when we’d been on our feet for five hours straight at the Women’s March on Washington: “There’s a reason it’s called ‘the struggle,’ and not ‘the comfortable.’”

I think a lot of these people who criticized the strike demonstrated how US-centric their perspectives are. There’s this assumption that the people who came up with it were all middle- and upper-class women, largely white. But as as Jezebel’s great post on Latin American feminism mentioned, the idea for the…

What the author of that email and so many others have curiously forgotten—or, more likely, never knew in the first place—is that often, resistance movements require that type of discomfort and sacrifice.

A lot of the privilege criticism about the strike seemed to be a race to be the wokest of them all.
