It’s the first-ever Troll Administration, right? And what do trolls do? They’re having a blast seeing who can spit the most twisted non-sequitur on national TV; who can tune a dog-whistle to the highest pitch; and compete to rally the loudest pack of Deplorables. As one does...

Also, Meryl is no dummy; she even got into Yale. Perhaps it was just the grad-school conservatory, but MFAs in general seem to be pretty bright & well-informed.

Is it any consolation to think, her response to being abused isn’t nearly as harmful as Milo Y’s?

Is it surprising, though? Rape victims--particularly if they’ve not had proper aftercare--can perform all sorts of weird mental back-flips in attempting to cope & adjust. IME, Pam A’s history of unhealthy relationships, self-medication, & lack of impulse control might well represent a long, sad cycle of such…

Does she really believe his inventions, or her own? This is the Troll Administration, after all, and trolls... are gonna be trollin’.

Woo-hoo for Drake (his music isn’t really my cuppa, but not liking him would feel kinda evil)!

Am not sure DFT will entirely screw her over—they’re two lying peas in a pod--and she’s told so many, exquisitely flagrant lies in his service. Also, even our Dimwit-in-Chief must sense how weak he’d look by dumping another staffer right after Flynn. IMO, Kellyanne C will resign “to devote more time to her family.”

And sorry; the RS archive dbase might be having problems. There now seem to be a couple of out-of-place paras in the copy. It’s still readable, but the misplaced bits somehow make the article sound even more ruthless. (Not that it wasn’t brutal anyway--the media just <3 <3 ed McCain, & no one likes to learn they’ve…

Ms Post must be spinning in her grave.

DFT not only “watched” a lot; he“read” a lot, too?

Oh, please—if only we could distract him with Slenderman!

Nope. McCain had a world-class act, & has fooled a LOT of people in his long, time-serving lifetime, but he was never a bona-fide Maverick.

Hee... That question reminds me of a popular saying among progressive bloggers in the GW Bush era:

Yess! SLENDERMAN attacked Sweden! And it was horrible!

Anyone who trusts McCain as a “Maverick” member of the GOP is dangerously ill-informed. Am tired of citing sources for this, but if you really, still, have doubt about this, let me know.

More established sites like Jez rarely share posts from The Root, so yeah; less views, & fewer comments.

It takes time. In Nixon’s era, the GOP spent 2 years doing everything short of shutting their eyes, plugging their ears, & dancing around shouting “Lalalala; I can’t hear you!” —Even when they all had damning WH tape transcripts in front of them. And RMN still evaded impeachment.

My Sunday Homily:

Tuna might warrant consideration on a case-by-case basis, however...

In the past month, a number of people have compared DFT & crew to Richard M Nixon or Watergate. But not even LBJ (King of the Whoppers) managed to blurt out so many blatant falsehoods on a daily basis.
