I'm very partial to "Anchorman" myself.

The Senate narrowly voted to open debate on repealing Obamacare earlier today; the motion passed 51-50, with only two Republican senators, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, joining all the Democrats in opposing the bill. Because of this, Mike Pence was forced to cast the tie-breaking vote. This

Jeff Sessions found himself increasingly under attack from, among other people, his own boss as Trump unleased another Twitter tirade earlier today, asking “why aren’t the Committees and investigators, and of course our beleaguered AG, looking into Crooked Hillarys crimes & Russia relations?” Meanwhile, Jared Kushner

Boy Scouts; I hate these guys.

While I wouldn't really show them, because I'm far too cowardly for that sort of thing, knowing that someone I'm romantically interested in has seen at least one Studio Ghibli film is very reassuring.

All my money to whoever can figure out the full extent of Napoleon's extracurricular activities.

The Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously voted earlier today in favor of Christopher Wray, Trump’s nominee to replace James Comey as head of the FBI. Wray’s nomination now moves to the Senate, where Mitch McConnell has stated he wants Wray confirmed before the August recess. Meanwhile, it’s come to light that

I didn't really hear a "no" in the response to concerns about this being slavery porn. It's one thing to argue about people not recognizing the racism lurking beneath the surface in today's modern world. Making a show about the Confederacy still being in place is another, much more terrible thing entirely.

Having lived near Fresno all my life, I can only say you're a better person than I am for still being able to love it.

He also called Ryan a petri dish grown at the Heritage Foundation. The guy clearly has some issues.

They were just shooting the breeze at an international summit. Nothing to see here!

Well that escalated quickly.

It’s recently come to light that Trump, during his visit to the G20 summit in Germany earlier this month, had a second, informal meeting with Putin in which the only other person in attendance was a Russian translator. The meeting, which took place on July 7, reportedly lasted an hour. The White House, when questioned

No one, and I mean no one, wants to follow up on a story involving Trump, Omaha beef, and kissing.

After two more Republican senators voiced opposition to the Senate’s version of Trumpcare, thereby delaying prospects of passage for now, Trump demanded that “Republicans should just ‘repeal’ failing Obamacare now & work on a new Healthcare Plan that will start from a clean slate. Dems will join in!” The failure was

Cooper's flopping arms while getting a ride from Janey-E will never not be funny. I also enjoyed the hell out of Gordon and Agent Preston secretly spying on Albert's enjoyable dinner. They looked so proud!

Slowly but surely making my way through "Don Quixote," having just finished the first part. I'll start on the second in August, so until then, I'm reading "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William Shirer. While certain parts are a little too technical for my taste, it's surprisingly readable and disturbingly

I'll admit, "scorned" and "fraudulent" do seem a little high-brow for a man who once tussled with Vince McMahon. If I had to guess, it was either Bannon, his protégé Stephen Miller, or Jared Kushner who polished up these already sterling tweets.

They use only the finest sweatshops though, tremendous really.

With the Senate’s version of Trumpcare becoming increasingly embattled, the White House now hopes to turn the public’s focus to a series of themes over the next three weeks. The themes in question are: “Made in America,” “American Heroes,” and “American Dreams.” The White House will hold events for all three, although
