Trump’s unfunded, vague proposal to go back to the Moon is making the headline; but as always, the story is elsewhere.

*Your

If Billy Bush were a peer or friend of Trump’s and was egging him on like that, I’d agree he was a complicit asshole. But he was subordinate to both Trump and his NBC bosses (for whom Trump had the #1 show on TV), so Bush really wasn’t empowered do the right thing without fearing for his job.

I don’t think he’s looking to score points with anyone. This seems to be motivated by spite more than anything else. It grinds his gears that he went down for that tape while the Mandarin Orange Candidate got elected.

How easy to say, when it’s Billy Bush’s career at stake and not yours.

Reenactment of Curry “processing” the Lauer firing:

Really?? Huh.

There is no ban on headscarfs or hijabs. No sane woman covers her whole body and face in a burqa or niqab, depriving her of free movement and sight, making her sweat like a pig in the summer heat, unless a highly oppressive religious worldview tells her to. Just watch scenes in Syria and Irqa of ISIS freed

It’s not about standards, it’s about power. The Democrats (who are the folks ostensibly fighting for women’s rights) don’t have much of it, and losing even more of it because both sides aren’t playing by the same set of moral rules is how the fight gets lost.

Any woman in the late ‘70s-early ‘80s.

Fair enough. I call out the original director!

“I think it’s all kind of silly, really, that we’re having this discussion 20 years later.”

In front of their child no less.

It’s a women who is committing domestic violence. So in Jezebel it’s going to be painted from the point of view of the gender and not who the victim was like they constantly do.

It’s Jezebel where just being a man is a crime. The level of minimization in this whole article regarding her assault is pretty telling.

domestic violence towards men is normally considered humorous

I don’t know how things are today, but when I played that game, the card texts and rules were beyond the ability of the average 7-years-old.

Out of curiousity, Rich, what qualifications do you have for critiquing Sam Smith’s music? Do you have a music background, or is this purely a “gayness” review in the context of his new album?

He’s 29 now, but yes, he is Doogie Howser. He graduated from Bard College at the age of 15 then started at Yale law school at 16. He’s member of the New York Bar. He had already done a stint at the State Department before he started a career in journalism. His resume is pretty insane.
