Interesting-ish media news: US Weekly, which had run multiple "Melania is unhappy" stories, was sold to American Media (publishers of the National Enquirer). This is the new cover.

Has there been any concrete speculation about why trump is so keen to get Flynn off the hook? He seems to be showing an unusual amount of loyalty to an employee.

they'll con those clowns in the MS legislature into paying to have recently removed Confederate participation trophies "re-homed" to the hotel parking lots. they'll charge guests to take pictures of their kids climbing on them. and then they'll auction them off to white nationalist groups when they file Chapter 11.

The Bush White House had a spectral efficiency in those early months pre-9/11 and for a year afterward. It didn't start being stupid politically until after the reelection.
