Cable news and Fox in particular, are completely brainwashing Baby Boomers. My parents used to be rational people. They visited recently and, aside from being Trump supporters, my dad announced he has not been to Starbucks in a year, and will NOT EVER go back to one. You know why? Because of the Christmas cups.

There’s something to this. My dad is a right-wing gun nut, but he hates Trump and most (if not all) of what he’s doing. I credit that entirely to the fact that he doesn’t watch Fox. OTOH, he DOES still bring up HRC as if she’s still running to be candidate of something. That just smells like rank ol misogyny to me,

There is a documentary I’ve heard about called The Brainwashing of My Dad. While I haven’t seen it, my understanding is that the filmmaker’s father didn’t used to be a far-right conservative but over time became a cable news junkie. I think what these women are referring to probably is something like that.

I am finally hopeful. I feel this could actually happen (and whoever did it, is amazing.)

That ain’t no bet.

I’d like Mueller to go to Jared.

“I’ve lived in a lot of countries where conspiracy theories abound because people feel like they lack self-determination,” a recently retired Foreign Service officer told reporter Jason Zengerle. “And a great many people inside State are now hypothesizing about what the goal of all this is. Why are they firing people

You motherfucker.

Megyn Kelly said she wanted to discuss this airplane incident a little more, and said, “Who better to ask than Matt Lauer?”

I have a couple very vocal Dump supporters on my facebook who have been more than happy to get all twisted up over the NFL, Eminem and how the fake news is just soooooooooooo mean to him. Yet they’ve all become oddly silent over his defunding the ACA. The optimistic part of me wants to believe that they are seeing the

And for the record, in Benghazi, they were military contractors.

Just in case this didn’t crop up here before now.

This. I am 21 now and was a Girl Scout until I was 18 and aged out of the program. I went to europe with Girl Scouts, I went on an all expense paid trip to Washington, DC to a NASA program in order to bring stargazing parties back into my community, and my first boss directly told me he gave me the job because I had

The Girl Scouts are vastly superior to the Boy Scouts in every way.

I would hesitate to say “ill -served,” but yes, they are different, and it’s not great to take girls away from the valuable programming that Girl Scouts provides for girls- instead driving them towards BSA programming that remains largely unchanged in the last decades.

While BSA has religious roots, a history of

I’d sell my soul (if I had one, ginger here) for some Tagalongs, but who the fuck needs popcorn?

That is completely not what Girl Scouts is about at all. Girl Scouts is pretty heavily into outdoor activties and crafts, learning about finances and business (cookies, etc), and science - more recently STEM related activities.

The Girl Scouts are vastly superior to the Boy Scouts in every way.

The scope and style of this investigation is unprecedented, and he needs to tread carefully. God knows I want Emperor Baby Fists out on his ass ASAP, but Mueller’s case needs to be 100% above reproach.
