    I'm not saying this as a cut or a putdown, just a statement of fact: You have a screw loose, or some missing synapses.

    This is a thread about the daily embarrassments of the president of the United States. And your whatabout is the LA Times columnist who called SHS a fat soccer mom. That's what you've reduced yourself to.

    The president of the United States shows decorum that is unbelievably beneath the president, and your response: whatabout that LA Times columnist?

    wow

    "I want to apologize to Times readers — and to Sarah Huckabee Sanders — for a description that was insensitive and failed to meet the standards of our newspaper," Horsey's statement reads.

    "It also failed to meet the expectations I have for myself. It surely won't be my last mistake, but this particular error will be scrupulously avoided in my future commentaries. I've removed the offending description."

    You guys are so fucking weird with this stuff.

    Honestly, how do you read something like that after you've written it and not think "Holy shit, what happened to me?"

    A Trump defender told me that Trump wasn’t a racist asshole or a misogynistic asshole because he was an across-the-board asshole.

    I pointed out that it was quite possible for Trump to be a racist asshole, a misogynistic asshole and an across-the-board asshole.

    So, even though we disagreed on some of the details, we shook hands in agreement that Trump is an asshole.

    He was on hold while Trump was talking to the leader of the Boy Scouts.

    It's all a push/pull. You can't put him on the stand, so then it becomes whether you think that you've established doubt with your cross-examination.

    I've never tried criminal cases, but I think it would be strange if you put on a very short and technical defense unless you believe it's a slam dunk winner. Here, it sounds like the case is pretty tight, so they may be better off just arguing that it still wasn't enough to establish guilt, especially with a guy like Gates getting a sweet deal.

    Why are you so quick to dismiss it as a possibility? It’s absurd, but would fit right in with him.
