    I can't believe I'm defending Trump, but it actually depends on what he's using to say it is worse now. If you go by total numbers, there are might be more slaves today than ever in history. In a 241-year span from the start of the colonial slave era to the end of slavery in the US, there were 12.5 million people shipped from Africa to the Americas (about 52,000 per year). Today there are close to 30 million enslaved by some estimates. Now if you go by percentages against total populations or the effects upon a total population of people, you can debate it. But Trump isn't as far off as one might think.

    Man, when you've lost Peggy Noonan ...


    Trump Is Woody Allen Without the Humor

    EDIT: Inky had it first.

    That Noonan column... Wow. But it does strike a note that's hard to talk about without sounding... I don't know? Old fashioned? Kind of sexist? Anyway, I'll agree with her and say that I've looked down on Trump, at least in part, because he's such a pile of wet, soft kibble. You're rich and the president and you're still whining all the time? Grow some fucking stones. It's unbecoming.

    Just heard Trump's remarks on how to handle gang members, on Jake Tapper's show.

    Oh. My. God.

    It's "Second Amendment solutions" all over again. Except now he's POTUS, something it's clear he hasn't grasped yet.

    Admit it. After the latest Craziest Week Ever, you were worried Friday would have an anti-climactic finish.
