Louisiana Purchase. That’s pretty good for a real estate transaction. For Trump’s stunt, though, we need a better, more accurate, term. I nominate _Panama Grab_ (abbreviated as _P-Grab_). ---

The ownership thinks they can get ratings by pretending to be Fox News, but they just don’t get that if people wanted to watch Fox News, they would watch Fox News, and all they’re accomplishing is alienating viewers who’ve come to them for decades for legitimate journalism. Same goes for every Democrat who thinks they can get elected by acting like a Republican. ---

Which is why a top reason Republicans give to Democrats for why they aren’t winning is that they just don’t follow their lead and act Republican enough. If you wouldn’t take advice from the asshole sitting across from you at the poker table, why the hell would you listen to right-wingers here? ---

Already (as of yesterday) they have raised $57K in a GoFundMe appeal. Someone was quick off the mark. And I have no doubt personally that the grisly nature of this crime is responsible for this “outpouring of support” from mostly random strangers. Everything about this story is depressing and degrading. ---

Oh yes, so would I. I saw something that would be sad for a surgical staff, an Honor Walk for a five month old baby. At least she died in peace, and helped give life for others. I wonder how long that father would last in prison. ---

I’d argue the stupid is more present since he filmed himself and his face. But it’s a narrow balance. ---
