His campaign duties included low-level tasks like “coordinating voter services” and “arranging travel and temporary housing for senior campaign officials,” as well as “special projects.”

Oh no, you’re right. That’s what he’s thinking. It requires no compassion. It’s a TV-simple concept, “action,” very flashy. “Good ratings.” It doesn’t cost as much as actual drug rehab. It doesn’t bring the major donors drug manufacturers under the microscope.

Yes. WH had to get a message out the same day as the test. So a staffer took a telephone message from Walter Reed and misspelled the name, and SHS didn’t catch it. Alternately, SHS just made up the message (she still had to put out something the same day) and didn’t catch the misspelling. SHS has a different approach…

I don’t disagree with you, but do you honestly think other presidents didn’t say “bad” words in private meetings?

I remember when people used to think their children (ok, their sons) could grow up to be President— and be proud of the thought, and encourage it. People used to look up to their Presidents.

President Trump kinda-sorta denied on Friday that he referred to Haiti, El Salvador, and the entire continent of Africa as a bunch of “shithole countries” in a racist rant on Thursday—even though all evidence shows he definitely did.

This requirement sounds more like a war against stay at home moms.

Do you remember if it was his base that went berserk first, or was it Fox News/Breitbart/etc.? I’m just wondering who aims Fox News, because it’s not the Trump fan in Little Rock.

Conservatives operate on the principle of “I got mine, fuck you and you die!”. So this makes perfect sense to me.

It’s odd. Here is Lisa Friedman’s transcript. I thought Trump was being a smartarse as usual: “That guy sleeps with sheep, but I’ve got no problem with that!” But that isn’t it. He contradicts himself. Other than the lies about our EPA, I have no idea what he’s saying.

This regime is so exhausting.

YES. Please, let’s learn from recent history.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein unexpectedly released a transcript of Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson’s interview with congressional investigators....

Ivanka’s doing that trick where if you think your neck’s wrinkly and you’re being photographed head on, you stick your neck up and forward and it smooths out your neck (to the camera). Looks weird from the side, though. Try it at your next family reunion (but smile, okay?) This trick won’t work forever for anyone.

Band name! Dibs!

Gorsuch stays, sorry. Get out the vote in 2018. It matters. It always mattered.

(Aussie accent:) Call that a rig? Now THIS, THIS is a rig!

I wonder if Miller [a] stormed off or [b] there was some type of physical aggression? Pretty soon these kind of shows are going to need security/body guards.

If they really believed those are “babieeesss” being “murdered” they would be having funerals for miscarriages.
