"no no no you misunderstood. I said 'fuck YOU money.' MY money is very important and must be gently protected, like a tiny baby hummingbird."
I always thought that one of the fun things about being very rich would be that no one could push you around. Instead all the oligarchs grovel to the king. It’s pathetic.

staring straight into the camera and lying. just a despicable person and a poor excuse for a national leader.
Vance: “People on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence. This is not a both sides problem. If both sides have a problem, then one side has a much bigger and malignant problem and that is the truth.”

The aging, latent police reporter in me can't help put pause to remark on the unforced error of the SAC in Salt Lake's FBI field office making the unforced error of announcing they have recovered a “footwear impression.” A shout-out to toss or destroy those shoes, ASAP.
That's a detail you keep.

CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan
Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?
CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

The Afrikaner stunt is the kind of thing that has backfired so far -- it creates legal arguments for other refugees about animus.

If Biden was asked a question about Harvard and went on a long rant about Harlem, it would be front page news and Republicans would be drawing up articles of impeachment.
Trump is suffering severe mental decline and it’s about time it gets the attention it deserves.

If you're going to be dismissive about your colleagues in a United States Supreme Court opinion, you should damn well have to put your name to it. This being in a per curiam is ridiculous.

Take heart that Justice Kavanaugh issued his usual “I’m a nice reasonable guy” concurrence in the case where he made it possible for the govt to try to get away with illegally summarily expelling people to a foreign prison without ensuring there is meaningful due process & review in every case!
