^ Gee Geraldo. If he has the worst relationship ever with the media and the "other side" what is the one common denominator in this use case? HINT: they have thin orange skin

Geraldo Rivera is also the guy who got pulled out of Afghanistan or Iraq (I forget which) for giving away U.S. troop locations on the air, for what it's worth.

(That was a bar trivia question a couple weeks ago. My team got it right.)

I read it in junior high, great book.

School district pulls 'To Kill A Mockingbird' from reading list; 'makes people uncomfortable'

Why did James Comey name his secret Twitter account ‘Reinhold Niebuhr’? Here’s what we know.

This is awesome. I can't think of any good reason for James Comey to have started an anonymous Twitter account using the name of a well-known theologian, tweeting nature pictures, but I'm so glad he did.

Also, "handsome string bean of justice" is some compliment.

Would love to know what he said.

Retired General.

...serving in a public role.

...Under no obligation in his position to opt to hold a press conference which is in and of itself a public event.

Do these people know what words mean?

They have the best words.

Compliments again to President Obama as many economists note an 18-month lag in government action and results in macroeconomic trends. Additionally, Trump has yet to pass a budget or change tax rates with Congress, so there's no actual fiscal policy change that we could point to for these results.

Additional note - Jobs and the stock market are not generally correlative or related. Corporations can sometimes even improve stock performance by cutting jobs, so this isn't really a relevant connection to make regardless of who can claim "credit" for it.

This is basic shit. I took macroeconomics in college and read the Journal from time-to-time. I'm no expert. Unfortunately, the President, a supposedly "great" business man (see: Trump Vodka, Trump Steaks, Trump University, Trump Airlines, Trump University, etc.) appears to know FAR less than a slightly above average citizen on these issues.

Zero fucks given in the White House these days. That's not a good thing.

"Waaaah. I didn't know selling my soul to the Devil could have negative outcomes! WAAAH!"

Quit, fuckface.

Quit, fuckface.

He can't quit! I've been making a notebook of sick burns and the Prez is hooking me up...


We'll just ignore the "and" which is not necessary or remotely grammatically correct. You know, not everybody has tim to check their posts and before they put them on the line.

Dog catcher?!? Is that still a job?

Since Trump wants the world to go back to the 1950s, I suppose it makes sense.

If Obama had said it, he would have been ridiculed for being an out-of-touch elitist who would criticize a good, honest job like being a dog catcher.

He didn't say why he couldn't get elected.

He can't quit!

To be fair, I was telling Corker to quit.

I want the Pez to stay until he destroys all of the nutjobs who could succeed him and then we can start to openly use the words "to the fullest extent of the law".

 

[elocomotive]

To be fair

REPORTED!!
