I’m trying to imagine the conversations between him and WH counsel or his advisors:

It’s also a national security issue. Dumb, sick people don’t do a good job of defending their country in wartime.

I was having drinks with some coworkers recently, and the subject of the increased minimum wage in New York, where we live, came up. Mind you, none of us earn minimum wage, but some of the people who had worked at the place I work for a long time were making a comparison to people who are getting hired now starting at…

But deep down, they really do want to hang out with and want the approval of the cool kids. Which party would you rather go to, the one with people from Breitbart, or Gawker? Guess what? The Breitbart people want to go to the Gawker one, too. 

Margin Call was good, but focused entirely on a short period of time in one firm, whereas the Big Short showed the bigger picture. And was hilarious. 

I was wondering how they were going to recreate that part of the story from the books, her thinking about words she had cut into herself, because she’s not narrating it, but they found a clever way to do this.

Spot on, the show is very big on atmosphere. There are scenes where I swear I can feel the humidity.

It’s not so much about the administration wanting to promote formula that’s the problem, it’s how they handled it when Ecuador tried to pass the resolution. For a powerful country to threaten a less powerful country over something like this just seems so...petty. Also, to do it for no reason other than a blatant…

They wanted this war, now they have it. Fuck them. 

He may not be able to. Rumor is that Senate leadership have told him they won’t confirm anyone else if he fires Sessions.

It’s heartbreaking that they won’t care, but think of this: prosecutors and judges will definitely care.

Not only that, but is the length of the approval process really the major factor in why drug prices are so high? I find that hard to believe. It’s like when ACA was being debated and Republicans kept going on about how if we did tort reform and allowed insurance companies to sell across state lines, costs would come…

Yeah, I can totally see the pharma companies saying “you know, now that we’re making more money selling these drugs in other countries, we can sell them cheaper here in the states! It’s our patriotic duty, something shareholders will definitely understand.”

Did you see this? KSM has requested communication with the Senate intel committee, says he has something he needs to tell them regarding Haspel?

Also AT&T just happened to pay Cohen’s shell company $200,000 right before the FCC ruled on net neautrality.

Did they donate to Trump, or any Republican PACs. If so, good. It has to hurt.

You’re not wrong, but also remember that all of this over when he gets voted out or doesn’t finish his term.

That’s what I think as well. I think they promised jobs to a lot of people that they couldn’t or didn’t intend to deliver on, and now some of that is catching up with them.

I think because they just told him he’s not getting a job in the WH. NBC producer said as much. So he’s burning his bridges.

You know, I was watching Westworld last night and thinking to myself: “when the robot uprising does happen, it will be because we deserved it.”
