Serious answer: yes.

What disturbs me most of all in this is that the White House, through Sarah Huckabee Sanders, deigned to comment on this—and more specifically, that they effectively called for Ms. Hill to be fired.

The last time I checked, the First Amendment exists specifically to protect citizens against government retribution for…

So not only does Tamblyn’s description of the encounter ring true, she follows/juxtaposes it with this;

I am in the early stages of negotiating a deal that my nagging self doubt says I do not deserve so thank you very much for your succinct analysis. Bidding against yourself is a phrase imma keep in mind. Thanks, Ron. I loved your mom in Sunset Boulevard.

Hmmm, I wonder why it doesn’t include religion? Seems like it should, just to cover their bases.

So I’m in Santa Clara County, CA, and we are struggling to recall the judge responsible for letting Brock here off with a very light sentence. I’m shocked by the resistance to recalling Judge Persky.
