Key words are “he deems” who’s a terrorist. No trial. No oversight. Execution upon accusation. Nancy Pelosi: Narco-terrorist. Barack Obama: Narco-terrorist. Jimmy Kimmel: Narco-terrorist. You: Narco-terrorist.

I don't believe it's even about having a legitimate legal case. It's just cover for a shakedown that exchanges money for a promise of forbearance from political retribution.

He knows there's no legal case. He's just looking to strong-arm them into a payoff. We'll soon learn just where the NYT stands when it comes to protecting freedom of the press.

Is it wrong to suggest that there ought to be some minimal standard of logic in fashion? That is, if you're wearing a short-sleeved shirt, clearly it's too warm to be wearing an insulated vest over it. Maybe the difference between fashion and costume?

In the meantime, Hanks has optioned a script that focuses on the softer side of Hermann Göring, in hopes that Trump will permit him to be reconsidered for the award.

Taken from the playbook of former President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte. The government actually claimed responsibility for 6,252 extrajudicial killings. Human rights groups put the number at between 12,000 and 30,000, including vigilante executions. This is what he wants for the U.S.?

“I am very proud of the beautiful stonework we did in the Rose Garden.” I’m focusing on the “we”. Somebody undoubtedly did beautiful stonework. But Mr. Trump was certainly not part of that “we”. Has he ever done a single day of labor in his life? At best, he commanded that the work be done.

Is it plausible to think that she will ignore the illegal firing & continue to go about her duties with the support of other members of the Federal Reserve? Rather than acceding until the courts decide, isn't it better to hold firm & let Trump be the one who has to seek support from the courts?

Language matters. But, isn't there a significant difference between suggesting that use of language would be "a huge step forward" & making a "demand that nobody ever say anything potentially alienating to Midwestern apes"? Hyperbole doesn't seem helpful.

I love the "cleared by the sheriff's office" statement. I think that would mean there was no crime. Okay. There's no law against watching videos of naked women. I accept that. Nevertheless, he's a hypocritical, lying, pervert.

Yeah, I’m particularly troubled by Trump’s use of “stolen”. The implication being that these were not just employees who had free will to work wherever they found opportunity. Rather, they were his possessions. He owned them and nobody else was entitled to their services.
