Trump is at heart, the runner of a protection racket. If you give a little, he demands more. If you give more, he takes all. And when you have no more to give, you’re no good to him and he has your body tossed in a ditch. This is also the way he sees marriage.

Bravo!

And that which is being offered is usually packets of hundred dollar bills in a paper bag, which you place on the floor beside your chair and “forget” to take with you when you leave. Trump still might not do what you want him to, but he never turned down a cash bribe in his life.

So Pruitt is afraid that the DNA of both himself and the as-yet unidentified young gentleman might show up in the mattress?

I’ve met guys with fetishes about used undies, stockings, shoes, and such — they tend to drone on at length about their obsession — but a used mattress fetish? That’s definitely a new one in my books.

Be interesting to see what actors line up to test for the part of Roark, the Rapist Architect, Ayn Rand’s dream man. Somehow, this feels like an in-your-face counter-attack to #MeToo.

I think there’s something in Fox News personnel guidelines that forbids the hire of any woman over 30. 28? 26?

This has the feel that she was already on very thin ice with the network for some reason — double-secret probation, anyone? — and this straw broke her camel’s back. In any event, hope we do not look upon her like again.

You forgot to explain why — for you — a three month longer sentence for the same crime is an acceptable interpretation of equal justice before the law.

These kids killed a woman and your first concern is for them. That says a whole lot about you, none of it good.

People who are smarter than you. People who have more heart than you. People who, unlike you, will have sex someday.

To the people who think that submitting to Trump and letting him have his way is effective: Do that, compromise with Trump, even treat him with courtesy, and he reads that as WEAKNESS and will redouble his attack.

Interesting slip on her part that she did NOT say “One of the few things I have...”

Essentially, she’s offering the Albert Speer defense. In his memoir, Speer claimed to have known nothing of the millions of murders ordered by Hitler of Jewish people, Slavs, Romany people, gays, Russians, and so very many others. Speer also made it clear that he was advised to know nothing of what was going on in the…

For those not in Prague, the Minneapolis Institute of Art has a (1948) T-87 Tatra on display on the third floor. Beautiful car.

Wouldn’t castration solve his so-called incel problem equally well? And it’d cost a lot less, too. (That’s assuming that the typical incel doesn’t already have a castration fetish.)

That’s not how it works. Learn the rules.

You’re either a sportswriter or you’re a shill for management.

Are they STILL forcing kids to read “A Separate Peace?” That’s the saddest thing I’ve heard all day, and I read that damn silly book nearly fifty years ago.
