Here's a quote from Stan's needless Press Conference:

"It was a shock. I was very surprised by his decision and the timing. It was a big disappointment that he decided to stop at that moment in my career, just before I resumed playing, at the time I would have needed to rely on him" - Wawrinka on Magnus Norman resigning as his coach

Some Trumpists believe that this tax bill will punish minorities but I've got news for those people--minorities, Blacks in particular, have been living with hardship and unjust policies for hundreds of years in America. We know how to survive and make a way 'outta no way'. 

This is going to be most punishing to that so-called 'base' of middle and lower income Whites, the very ones who have been most vocal about seeing their way of life diminished.

If people think the deaths from opioid addiction is bad now, wait until the true cost of this tax bill kicks in.

By the way, this is if the House and Senate can reconcile that bills that each chamber has unleashed.  With so many pigs at the trough (some 6,000 lobbyists worked on the Senate bill), that will be their next step in the process of destroying the country for the foreseeable future.

What a mess! Truly a mess.

Onto this other mess,

this seems to be a consensus-

People have this wrong. The plea is so light because Flynn gave up so much

Is it true that he absconded to some place with no extradition policy? Or was that just sarcasm?

I still think most Simpsons fans would be above his intellectual capacity, TBH.

Now about this sh*tty bill-

Speaking of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu is facing his own corruption struggles.

Interesting statement made here, perhaps a good reminder that this is not the end in and of itself, but the beginning of the end.

73/ But as I say this, understand something else—this is the beginning of the end for Trump, but it is *not* the end. The number of additional shoes that will be dropping in the days, weeks, and even months to come will cause substantial alarm to all Americans of good conscience.

Chants of "Lock Him Up" as Flynn exits.

Flynn's expected to enter a formal plea at about 10:30 a.m.

Breaking: Robert Mueller has charged former Trump national security advisor Michael Flynn with “willfully and knowingly” making “false, fictitious and fraudulent statements” to the FBI regarding conversations with Russia’s ambassador.

I just read that Stan's press conference was all so that he could rant and rave about being abandoned by coach Magnus Norman. LMAO.

This country is in serious trouble with the likes of these idiots at the wheel.

And isn't he a Republican?

Here is what i just don’t get: if as the President says the economy is doing great, unemployment at 4% and stock market way up, then why the hurry to pass a tax bill without full discussion and hearings?

— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) December 1, 2017

So basically the vote was put off tonight because the GOP didn't have enough votes for their disastrous tax bill.

Prepare for another lie by the Menace-in-Chief.

I would welcome Bryant back. IMO he was the best of the best along with Jane Pauley. If Jane comes back, I wouldn't mind either! Agreed with others here that Savannah is nowhere near strong enough to be carrying this show. I'm not crazy about her voice/delivery either as it makes her sound like a bimbo.

Isn't Pauley already hosting CBS Sunday Morning?

Gumbel is on HBO with Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel.

I don't see either abandoning their shows.

JMO because I really don't watch The Today Show but if anyone should be asked first, it should be Ann Curry and Tamron Hall. 

So what if The Today Show would be an all-women team?  At one point The Today Show was certainly comprised of all-men.  

@YRBB I guess Russell Simmons was done trying to deny it as he did several weeks ago.

I do feel for his daughters, Ming and Aoki. They are at particularly impressionable ages in their development as young women. This will likely hit them hard.

One (of many) things that perplexes me about this SH*T-tastic tax bill is that it would appear to take control to levy taxes away from the states and local legislatures.

Wait, isn't always Conservatives/Republicans who never stop squawking about giving the individual states the right to determine their own ways of doing things?

This tax bill makes a mockery of that sentiment.

Boy when the GOP decides to dump all their beliefs for the sake of political expediency, they go whole hog!
