One thing I do take enjoyment from in all of this horrid nightmare, is how Republicans have shown that they will even gladly piss on the grave of St. Ronnie if it gets them what they want.

There was a time when trying to do a deal in Russia like this would have been automatically disqualifying for any prospective Presidential candidate, even absent any corruption allegations.

Yeah, this video makes it seem like that’s the case.

This. Shake it Off wasn’t a fabulous lead single (compared to the others), but it set the tone. Something new.

Ok, I liked the zombie. But probably because I’m so ready for halloween.

Just how many female artists, is she channelling on that vid, saw some Beyonce, C. Aguilera, G. Stefani, K. Perry, who else did i miss?

I laughed at the dancers’ “I <3 TS” shirts. I do think Taylor reads all the comments.

Seems like this isn’t a song so much as an intro to the album.

The video is much more self-aware than the lyrics, which is good.

Confession: the more I hear this song, the more I like it. I don’t want to like it but the heart wants what it wants.

Oh, that was just the tip of the iceberg

AP is reporting they fired off 3 missiles and they all failed.

He fucking pardoned Arpaio an hour ago too.

Oh, thank you. I like the ones with Binky where he is just having a Hellish life and Groening basically just shows him going though his day. Most days feel like that to me now that the Trumpeters have taken over.

I wish I had a Matt Groening cartoon to contribute here.

Precisely. They’ve been compliant, they’re still making fortunes, so with or without regulation extensions they should do the right thing and maintain the higher standards.

Part of it is also that they have spent a bajillion dollars raising their safety standards and reducing pollutants, all of which now goes to waste if there’s no rules to enforce. It’s basically what happened with the FDA dropping the regulation to put calorie counts on fast food - all the science was done, the menus…

Richard Spencer, of all people, said this yesterday. He said, “Liberals are right when they note that ‘conservatism’ is implicitly White and that it relies on White angst and hopes and fears.”

The utter lack of even the slightest peep of protest from Trump supporters is just another nail in the coffin of the idea of conservatism being anything but racism. He’s not throwing out “bad hombres,” he’s throwing out anyone with a Spanish accent.

CNN has just reported that it appears North Korea has fired another test missile(s).
