I wonder if the NRA has an overplayed their hand a bit on this. Up through the 1960s, the NRA was broadly supportive of gun control. Even after the radicals took over in the 1970s the NRA still found room to support some gun control measures. Over the years however they have just gotten more and more extreme to the…

Watch out girl, he’s a Nazi!

#3 is a point I saw made elsewhere back when Daniels was appearing on Jimmy Kimmel and hinting about things while still playing coy. Someone wrote that she’s almost certainly violated the terms other NDA, but that Trump has little recourse because to enforce it he’s have to sue her which would require admitting that…

In Touch had declined to publish the story. They paid her to buy her silence.

The issue with the pee pee tape is the blackmail potential. The issue with this is the payoff. If this were any other administration this would be a nuclear fallout level scandal.

Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism Dude but at least it’s an ethos.

It really is. Trump famously took out an ad calling for the execution of the Central Park Five, a group of black and Hispanic teens who were accused of raping and beating a woman almost to death. Of course, they had maintained their innocence too, and after years in prison they were proven right when another guy was…

I think it might be somewhat normal for white houses in campaigns to be that incestuous. Like you said, they work really long hours and it’s a really stressful job.

I’ll show you the life of the mind!

I feel a little bad about criticizing Snyder right now since the reason he dropped out of finishing Justice League is pretty horrific: his daughter committed suicide.

The murder of his wife definitely played into how this was treated, at least in the media. There was kind of a sense that he’d suffered enough and an urge to blame his “lapse in judgment” on grief and trauma from his wife’s murder.

Howard also didn’t react negatively to Trumps stories about bursting in on beauty contestants in the changing rooms without their permission.

When you’re being called out for indecency by Howard Stern you know you’re in trouble

This reminds me of all the rumors that Connie Britton was leaving Nashville. They had a plotline where her character had a stalker, so okay, she’ll get killed by the stalker. Nope. She survived that only to get into a random car accident.

And then you got missing people who turn up on the Bachelor.

I don’t remember that at all, what was the context?

Nunes was also asked by Democratic Congressman if he had consulted with the White House in preparing the memo. He said no. Then they asked him if anyone in his office had worked with the White House on preparing the memo. He refused to answer.
