According to the New Yorker, “As a matter of policy, Dean Baquet, the executive editor of the Times, will not attend such (off the record) meetings without being able to report on them.”

I feel a great deal of pity for Barron. All the advantages he has are twisted and made toxic by his awful family, and at his age, it’s impossibly rare to have the self-knowledge to be able to resist their influence. I’m not sure anyone could grow up OK in that situation.

That header image is like something out of a J-Horror flick, with Barron as the ghoul who you don’t see until Trump moves out of the way and HOLY CRAP THAT THING ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK WHY DO I WATCH THESE MOVIES.

While reading this take, I did not experience “the vapors,” and my monocle remained securely in place.

Right? Even porcupines urinate on eachother so they can get it on without getting stuck. I imagine that a mutual Fox’n’Friends viewing session or exchange of shouted racial epithets should be enough to complete the analogy.

(looks at the header image)

In support of your proposition, I refer you to the great journalist, social reformer, and em-dash aficionado William Lloyd Garrison, whose response to calls for moderation and civility still rings loud and clear:

And that was my second-best monocle, etc. 

“He who fights monsters should beware that he himself does not become a monster” is not, contra Rep. Hoyer, followed by “so, better not to fight monsters at all.”

The “Swiss Diss” pun there certainly puts the lie to the canard that there are no great conservative comedians. /s

(T)he family separation policy, which is incredibly popular among just about everyone except for diehard Republicans...

The widespread backstory, which I believe is on the DVD, is that the production spent a bunch of money on a “futuristic” looking design for the film’s police cars, and when it showed on on-set, it looked ridiculous. Verhoeven cast around looking for a more functional and still near-future-looking car, and happened on…

Obligatory, and classic:

Every photo of Eric Trump looks like the Crypt Keeper is about to pop up to do a tight 30 seconds of taxidermy puns.

Got to admit, when I read that headline about “changing their body cam policy,” my first thought was that they were going to further curtail their use in the name of protecting their cop buddies. So, while this policy doesn’t go nearly as far as it should, we should at least ... oh, God, please don’t make me say it…

I like tanks that weren’t captured.

All the ones with his photos in them, yes.

Every photo of Donald Trump, Jr. looks like the part of a movie where they do a montage with “Hurdy Gurdy Man” as the backing music.

“Under oath” is the only situation in which I can possibly imagine looking forward to hearing Trump speak.

...professional instigators that infiltrate the protests...
