Jill Wine Banks was on with Ali Velshi earlier today and she concluded that with Weisselberg’s cooperation, this is leading to a RICO case (that the Trump Org was functioning as an organized crime family). She ought to know, she was a prosecutor of organized crime (and Watergate).
Trump is tweeting to his base, not Sessions. His goal is to discredit the investigation in their eyes.
I’m a little disappointed the Weisselberg news only ended up in Dirt Bag. I’ve been waiting for an article on it all day, but...well, better Dirt Bag than nothing.
This “it does, it doesn’t” with booze reminds me of all the studies around eggs in the 80s. “They’re bad for you! But they’re good for you! Wait, only part of them is bad for you! But it’s good cholesterol!”
My point was the consistent shift between calling something “healthy” and then finding something “unhealthy” about and labeling it “poison.”
Same here. Leah’s story about Tom forcing his assistant to apologize because Tom could not immediately recognize the ingredients he’d set out as being for chocolate chip cookies! And how no one was allowed to correct Tom and point out that all the ingredients were on the counter. I’ve worked around plenty of eccentric…
I just got dumped and have been drinking 2-3 drinks a night the past week. I can’t keep it up but it is helping me cope in the meantime. It isn’t the healthiest (but I am still running!) and it makes me feel better. My goal is to give it the weekend and start on Monday with scaling back to normal for me. I think 10…
Seriously. 2-3 beers a night is how I’m coping with the pervasive existential dread of the past 2 years. To hell with this teetotaler BS.
92 year old Queen Elizabeth ll, drinks 4 cocktails a day.
I have no doubt that booze is the root cause of a lot of health problems, but I think we have much bigger fish to fry here in the United States. I would say that obesity due to the pervasiveness and availability of unhealthy, heavily-processed food ranks much higher than this. Sadly, I think booze plays into the…
“But the evidence is the evidence.”
Maybe I’m reading it wrong but it looks like heart disease risks and diabetes goes down for 1 drink a day. Yeah you’re probably going to get into a car accident while you have TB....
It also looks like 3-4 drinks is average in the US, per day. That’s a lot.
I gave up drinking to help reach my fitness goals, but pushing a full on abstinence agenda disguised as medical fact really needs to stop. Lets be honest, alcohol is poison - we know that its why it makes us feel weird and then shitty. However people literally since the dawn of civilization have drunk alcohol -…
over 71,000 U.S. men and 18,000 women died in alcohol-attributed deaths in 2016.
I went to public health school, and one of the things we learned is that a lot of things that are enjoyable bring you closer to death. That did not stop my classmates and I from going to the bar after class on Fridays. Honestly, I think we’ve got to be honest with ourselves and acknowledge that trying to get people to…
As someone who’s moved somewhat uneventfully into the 50-and-over age group, I recall that “accidents” were the leading cause of death in my 20s, “disillusionment” was the leading cause in my 30s, “alcohol”, natch, in my 40s, and I’m now in “heart disease/cancer”. I think I’ll have a drink tonight, just to feel…
Meh. In 6 months there will be another study that says drinking two glasses of wine a day increases you life expectancy by 20 years.
It turns out we’re all going to die.
