Would it be mean to use the word demented? I mean, Jesus!

 but really  

 

 

It wouldn't be mean, it would be pretty accurate IMO

What if he's right though?  You know they covered up the Bowling Green Massacre and we would never have known about it if not for Kellyanne Conway.

I'm glad to know that people are continuing to indulge Chelsea Handler's endless need for attention (me included, admittedly). Throw a public tantrum over how you're not a Democrat anymore, get invited to a luncheon for Democratic members of Congress. I have no idea what she will teach them - show your boobs and hate Angelina Jolie? Good luck with that. 

 

At least Kareem Abdul Jabbar seems like a sensible choice.

well there was the incident at the World Tiddledywinks Championships and Wine Tasting Event last month that resulted in the loss of 7 cases of vintage 2014 Miller Draft Wine you know.....the MSM seems to have covered that up as well.

So I just got back from a protest outside Rob Portman's Cleveland office. I'm bad at crowd counts but I would say there was easily 300-400 people there. You don't usually get that many people downtown for anything that isn't sports related except maybe Pride.

This is so disappointing. The democrats still flailing around. Good thing people have taken it upon themselves to stand up and protest and call and call and organize because waiting for these clowns would be like waiting for the Titanic to float again.

CBS: “President Trump told a U.S. military audience that there have been terrorist attacks that no one knows about because the media chooses not to report them. It has been a busy day for presidential statements divorced from reality.”

 

On CNN, Dana Bash was openly disgusted with Trump and said "just do your job."

Well there are thwarted attacks that likely aren't reported, but I always figure that's by the government's choice. I doubt that's what he meant though.

[JaneAusten]

I don't have much use for The Intercept but this is interesting. Things going on people are deflected from. Yes man of the people Trump representing those he really cares about. Himself

They clearly don't like the guy and will be jettisoning him soon enough, presumably to be replaced by a generic blonde woman. 

 

Given how much Michael Che bent over backwards to try to belittle people who oppose Trump, and how lazy the anti-Trump material in general is (a few people pointed out they were just reusing old Cheney jokes in the cold open), you'd think Trump would be pleased, but clearly they don't see how much Lorne Michaels is still trying to give them room to breathe.
