Duly corrected.

Mike Pence is in Arizona campaigning for Joe Arpaio, “A great friend of this president, a tireless champion of strong borders and the rule of law.”

Anybody else think that the doctor is coming forward now because he wanted to be White House doctor/VA chief and once he realized he wasn’t getting a plum position he decided to throw Trump under the bus (not that I’m complaining about that)?

…you skipped over all the other stuff because you were simply wrong and you can’t admit it.

…you really are dumber than I thought.

She is not a valuable “on the record” source. I’m not talking about “meaningless quotes from even more meaningless press briefings”. Thats just doing her job.

She is a valuable “off the record” source. As in “several unnamed sources within the Whitehouse have confirmed…”

Some of the stories that Maggie Haberman have published are incredibly detailed, incredibly accurate, with information that could only have come from the inner circle of the Whitehouse. She didn’t come out and defend Kellyanne Conway when she got insulted. She didn’t come out and defend Ivanka, another mother, who got called out as “full of shit.” But she defended Huckabee, extensively for a day. Because it is very likely that Huckabee is her pipeline to the exclusive.

Thank-you.

not sure where to put this, but I loved the Fresh Air interview with Michelle Wolf.

I was reminded that originally at this dinner, the POTUS actually does stand up, can you imagine that with 45? even trying to remember jokes someone else wrote would be hard for him but can you imagine him trying to think on his feet? what a word salad that would be?

The New York Times is wondering if US aid to Ukraine was contingent on its stopping cooperation with the Mueller investigation.

Michelle Wolf says in the interview that, earlier in the evening, awards were given to CNN journalists for their reporting. When the reporters came up to the dais to accept their awards, all of the people up front stood, applauded, and shook their hands. Except Sarah Sanders.

Today, I heard an interview with Jake Tapper. He confirmed the account, as he said he was one of the reporters who was dissed by Sarah. In past years, he said, he received the award and was able to get a picture with President Obama (who was in attendance), even though the stories were not flattering of him.

So, yeah…fuck Sarah Sanders.

So, Mike Pence goes to a football game just so he can walk out and SHS goes to a dinner just so she could snub CNN.

Mike Pence also walked out of the Western Hemisphere gathering (that Trump was too chickenshit to attend) after Raul Castro was announced after him.

Not even with Jesus’s dick.

Actually, yes. It stands out in my memory because it’s a unicorn, a black swan, entirely anomalous to everything else Trump has ever said or done.

The Al Smith Dinner is traditionally attended by both presidential candidates and an opportunity for “good natured ribbing”. In 2016, Trump’s remarks were mostly stupid and not good natured, but he did get off one that stood out because it was (a) actually funny and (b) self-deprecating — two terms that are never used in conjunction with Trump. He said (paraphrased):

“Michelle Obama gives a great speech to the Democratic National Convention, and everybody cheered. Two weeks later, Melania gives the exact same speech and gets nothing but grief…”

HHS can’t find 1500 unaccompanied minors that they caught at the border, that they’ve placed with US sponsors.

You’ll have to excuse Sarah. Her hands were full of victim playing cards.

That’s not self-deprecating for Trump. He wasn’t the butt of that joke, Melania was.

And Brahma’s ass pushin’!

No wonder she has such a resting bitch face. I feel sorry for her.
