I don’t want Biden to be the nominee either but what’s the basis for “he’ll appoint people like Scott Pruitt”?

That’s meant to be a joke.

Melania not traveling to G7 next week, and not traveling to Singapore mid-June. Pretty strange, whatever is going on.

Or not strange at all if you figure she’s a rational person with the means to hire her own lawyers and has decided to GTFO while GTFOin’ is good, before the gasoline-soaked bag of manure she married catches fire.

idk why people assume she's any better than / "above" her husband considering she pushed birtherism publicly
― Simon H., Sunday, 3 June 2018 23:12 (five years ago) link
I just assume she’d prefer to have some money left over. Separating now is a good risk management decision for her and Barron.
― El Tomboto, Sunday, 3 June 2018 23:19 (five years ago) link
She's not going to leave. She went on TV and defended him over grab-em-by-the-pussy! They already lead completely separate lives anyway, so what would be the point.

that's not so surprising given how much his party is shrinking/reshaping to where affiliation is congruent and coterminous with "approves of donald trump"

yes, though it further proves that "never Trump" republicans truly have no constituency

Or the point on the graph that points out that pointing out the lack of a constituency for anti-Trump Republicans is worth anyone’s time in the back half of 2018, as if that was an insight

People need to see this movie. (It's not quite the laff/riot "sequel to The Producers" it looks like, btw)

As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong?

come for Melania gossip, stay for the Tiffany shade. from nymag:
This weekend she skipped a family trip to Camp David (which even Tiffany attended).

Wondering at what point even the hardcore 'who cares about Melania'-ers will begin to admit that this is strange.
― On the Wingers of Love: The Kip & Debra Story (Old Lunch), Monday, 4 June 2018 13:27 (five years ago) link
It's strange but the simplest reason for it is probably the most likely - she doesn't want anything to do with being flotus when the potus defends his porn fling.
― BrianB, Monday, 4 June 2018 13:32 (five years ago) link
isn't the simplest explanation still being under the knife?
― Simon H., Monday, 4 June 2018 13:39 (five years ago) link
I mean, yeah, it's probably nothing more complicated than a separation. I just wonder how far down the 'everything is fine and I am fine and I love being flotus' robo-tweet rabbit hole it's going to get before the truth finally comes out.

personally i both give a shit in the sense that bad things (in this case, one assumes, some kind of marital rift) happening to the trumps is endlessly rewarding, but also do not give a shit in the sense that it will doubtless do no damage to trump's standing in the eyes of his supporters and does nothing to further any effort at advancing effective opposition to his administration

I give a shit to the extent that Melania goes directly to Mueller and says 'let me tell u everything I know about the scrotal sac I am married to'.

I take this to read that it's a mattress Pruitt used IN a Trump hotel -- which is weird enough and begs questions -- but if it's Trump's mattress from a hotel, then even more uh.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 4 June 2018 14:54 (five years ago) link
I dunno, collecting any detritus which poses a grave public health hazard because it's been in direct physical contact with the body of Donald Trump seems well within the purview of the EPA.

doing things which fall within the purview of the epa seems distinctly out of character for scott pruitt tbf tho
