I’m not the first to put this theory forwad, but my Aussie friend told me the consensus in Australia is that Trump wasn’t paying attention for the briefing prior to his call with Turnbull, so when an aide handed him the phone and said, “here’s PM Turnbull of the Australian Liberal Party” Trump just assumed Turnbull…

This whole page won’t load for me for some reason, but how about how he didn’t realize he permanently appointed Bannon to the NSC? “Oh, well...I don’t know. It all happened very fast, and then the man looked like he was nice, so I bought the timeshare and then...oh my...”

I respect their decision, especially knowing they will get a bit of the Kaepernick treatment from the mouth-breathers.

Who exactly won the Lingerie Bowl?

You can debate what is the best execution of the “I will not attend” announcement for maximizing PR value; however, I am a fan of the very fast, unequivocal announcements. They show maximum authenticity and passion, and there’s absolutely no sugar-coating of the “Why?”

I also will not be visiting trump in the white house to celebrate this victory.

GEORGE DOESN’T EVEN OWN A BATHROBE, FAKE NEWS

I’m British and in the US.

I’m a US citizen here in the UK. The Queen loved the Obamas. She actually asked if they would come back. Michelle did break protocol by hugging the Queen, but HRH never flinched and also hugged her back. That never happens.

It was a good rant!

However, Prime Minister Theresa May is unwilling to cancel the visit. And this makes sense: with Brexit in the works, it is advantageous for Britain to settle a trade deal with America. An official visit to London would likely grease the wheels and facilitate the business negotiations.

Omg. I’m a HSP!!! I knew this I just didn’t have a name for it. I’m hyper aware of my surroundings. I honestly wish I wasnt.

Of course they adored him! He’s so much of what this family embodies. Do they have a dark side and some eccentricities? Hell yeah - being a Royal is some major mind-fucking shit. But the Queen respects education, levity, class, eloquence and any American that can handle and even flow with the thick skinned British …

UK Parliament:

I love him.

My dad has painted a (not great) rendition of this and put it up in his yard. On 4ft x 6ft plywood. In Trumplandia. It’s pretty fucking awesome.

Dictators have been elected. Hitler, obviously, is the prime example. Stalin was elected through the normal state mechanisms and he was also a dictator. The list goes on, but I assume you get the point. Dictatorial authority is not inconsistent with normal constitutional mechanisms for elections and pathways to…

I’ve got a feeling that the Queen has been insulated from some of the things we know about Trump. It shouldn’t even be on the table that Trump could be invited to the Palace, so I can only assume that nobody told her about Trump bragging to Howard Stern (not long after the fatal Paris tunnel crash) that he could have…

Another lifelong Pats fan (no longer), and last night/today was really weird. I’m not jubilant like I’m used to, just put out. The mom I work for was surprised I didn’t watch the game because she knows I’m a huge NE sports fan and all I could do was shrug. My shitty racist relatives are all happy, too, so fuck it. Go…

I played in the game. Heard his show was outstanding - this was the first time I’ve seen a recording. Rumor has it he was told by event producers  it would be pouring during his performance - his response, “can you make it rain harder?”
