Hey Laura (a la Seinfeld/George Costanza), "can't stand ya"! I can't listen to most, if not all, of the Fox (un)personalities.
Another gem from Evan: "Doing her trademark scoffing and eye-rolling and better-than-you-ing" precisely. I'm sorry you had to suffer through her show, or part of it! It must have been one of those head-shaking screaming at the television moments, like I have when I hear anyone from Fox or Trump and his useless, loser, lawyers.
OT: Did DJT say "your FORMER` President" today? That's the first time I heard that truth (socially) come out of his yap. Maybe he can finally admit he got his fat can kicked from sea to shining sea?
Martha's Vineyard provides a multitude of fun activities for the whole family. Snubbing Dersh, welcoming asylum seekers fucked over by Florida. Why do you think the Obamas got a place there?
I won't ever own a boat, because they're a money pit, but a pontoon rental on a lake is nice. You have shade and sun, you can fish and swim, have cocktails and a nice picnic. It's a relaxing day.
I'd have one, but I live too far from water. There aren't lakes nearby, which pains the husband who grew up lakefront. He picked me up in high school, for dates, on a jetski. I lived three blocks from the lake.
Apparently all the conservative historians were too busy classing up slavery for the Florida Department of Education or searching for examples of corporate personhood in Medieval Europe.
For those who want a splainer about the fuckery Judge Cannon is trying to achieve on Trump's behalf, today's Opening Arguments podcast, with our Liz Dye, provides good detailed assessment:
The same people who rant about a "Hillary Hit List," who claim Obama was born in Kenya and ate dogs, and believe that Biden is a senile doddering old man who is also a criminal mastermind, accuse the people who point out TFG's numerous actual crimes of apparently suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome"?
I recognized TFFG as a liar and con artist the first time I saw and heard him, which was in 1980. He was being interviewed by Tom Brokaw. I watched because a couple of years earlier, a "reporter" for the NYT had gushed over his white teeth and said he was a Robert Redford lookalike. ((Can I put a link here? I'll try.))
Anyway, he was asked by Brokaw why he didn't try to preserve the sculptures on the building. He could have said, "I didn't have to. It was my building." He could have said, "I didn't like them." Both of those things might have been disturbing, but they would have been TRUE. He told a fairy tale about how you never know which way something's going to fall when you tear down a building. There I was, sitting on the floor in my living room, yelling at Brokaw. "Why aren't you asking him how NYC is letting him tear down buildings if he doesn't know which way they're going to fall??" So, Ilse, I recognized him as a liar and con on August 21, 1980. I learned the rest of his lovely qualities as years went by. I have not become what I claim he is, and you can kiss my big blue butt.
Don’t forget he got the permit to demolish that building on the condition that he preserve the sculptures. Then, just didn’t do it.
It’s one of the earliest examples of him just doing whatever he wants and getting away with it. Maybe if NYC had spanked his ass back then, we would have been spared his entire presidency.
I don't believe that's true. I don't think there were any strings attached regarding the ladies. I do know that he had an offer of payment for his time, and labor expenses for preserving them, and he said he would try - because he is unable to tell the truth. He didn't save them because he didn't like them, thought they were worthless, and they'd only end up in the basement at the Met (forgetting, I guess, that he'd get a very healthy tax credit for his donation). He admitted it shortly after that interview with Brokaw, but I can't remember to whom. I know he laughed about it. NYC really should have made it a condition, but then, really, some people loved the ladies, some people hated them, and a lot of people just didn't care one way or the other.
Hi. Sorry I'm a bit late responding. You really have me scratching my head. Everything I have read, said that he promised to preserve the sculptures when he demolished the building, but not that it was a condition. I am not at all trying to argue, I just can't find anything about it. I'd like to know for sure - because I'd like him even less (if that's possible).
"I watched because a couple of years earlier, a "reporter" for the NYT had gushed over his white teeth and said he was a Robert Redford lookalike. ((Can I put a link here? I'll try.))"
ROBERT REDFORD LOOKALIKE? 🤮🤮🤮🤮
I first became aware of Trump in the mid-80s and my initial reaction was "Why are people supposed to care about this guy? He's just another rich douchebag." But it was the "greed is good" '80s and PAB was always much better at self-promotion than he was at real estate.
(I also assume he was good at money laundering, since that's been his main source of income since he pissed away Fred's wealth.)
Yeah....I don't know what the reporter was looking at. His wallet, maybe. He didn't piss away all of Fred's money; Fred was too smart for that. He will never be totally broke, because there will always be money he can't piss away.
I lived in southern New Jersey when he promised to "make Atlantic City great again" by building casinos and hiring all the folks who lived in AC. Except he farmed all the good jobs out to suburban white kids who moved into town like a plague of carpetbaggers and it left AC worse off than before.
So, yeah, he's always been a lying sack of excrement.
For me it was the first time I heard about him as some sort of celebrity at Studio 54 (Who is he? Why is the media talking about him?). Don't know when that would have been, but then he started appearing on the National Enquirer and that cemented my understanding of him as an attention whore. That ridiculous photo on the bed in a bathrobe channeling Hugh Hefner. New York real estate mogul? Cheating on all his wives? By the time he became a game show host it was clear he was nothing but a media creation.
Pretty sure the entity actually running Fox News is a 50 pound bag of onions and each host is required to meet the onions once a week (yes, the bag of onions wears a business suit, just to keep it legit); afterwards, the hosts go on their shows and cry...but it's the onions that are behind the whole thing
Makes as much sense as whatever's really happening over there, yes?
I see from the photo that Laura Ingraham's bowels still have not moved - a personal record for Ms. Ingraham, since the last event was when Nixon resigned his presidency.

I have a friend who is a retired professor of American history, and what he said about Trump cannot be said on TV.
She obviously values her rep as a complete dope. And wtf is wrong with her mouth (besides what drabbles out of it)?
It's attached to a FOX blonde lady, so it was probably picked up for a discount in the spare parts bin at the local plastic wholesaler.
OK, very smrt person who went to Dartmouth and willingly had sexy times with Dennis D'Souza.
Not sure if that was an intentional slight or a typo, but I'm definitely calling him "Dennis" from now on.
Intentional. I call him that on the Twixter, have addressed him as such. I also imply he's from Bangladesh instead of India.
What I find most striking, blind "repeating" is exactly the description I worked up for emailgate coverage.
Laptop, laptop, laptop!
I guess it would be difficult to make an accurate analysis of historical events if one were to have actual opinions about present-day events.
News channels interview historians so they can put current events into a historical context.
It’s not their fault that all of the historical events that are analogous to Trump ended badly.
I thought the best thing about being on Martha's Vineyard was having the opportunity to snub Dersh?
Martha's Vineyard provides a multitude of fun activities for the whole family. Snubbing Dersh, welcoming asylum seekers fucked over by Florida. Why do you think the Obamas got a place there?
Are there any ACTUAL VINEYARDS???
You have to know Martha Stewart to see them.
No idea. I'm not rich enough to live there, and I'm not poor enough to be fucked over in some inhumane prank.
Pontoon boat libelz!
I won't ever own a boat, because they're a money pit, but a pontoon rental on a lake is nice. You have shade and sun, you can fish and swim, have cocktails and a nice picnic. It's a relaxing day.
Pontoon boats are basically rafts with an outboard motor. Not the deepest money pit.
I'd have one, but I live too far from water. There aren't lakes nearby, which pains the husband who grew up lakefront. He picked me up in high school, for dates, on a jetski. I lived three blocks from the lake.
Are you suggesting that anything good a decent can be fucked up by drunk racists?
I think the point is it needs to be in a lake, not parked on the street blocking my GODDAM DRIVEWAY!!!! Or something like that.

So, let me see if I have this straight...
The same people who rant about a "Hillary Hit List," who claim Obama was born in Kenya and ate dogs, and believe that Biden is a senile doddering old man who is also a criminal mastermind, accuse the people who point out TFG's numerous actual crimes of apparently suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome"?
Cool, cool...
Rant.

No, he absolutely did promise to preserve them. And then didn’t.
I'm not disagreeing that he lied. I just don't believe it was ever a condition of the sale.
IIRC, it was a condition of his demo permit from the city.
Hi. Sorry I'm a bit late responding. You really have me scratching my head.

I just call her NAZI Laura. It's kind of a libelllz to mention Frau Koch with this creature LOL
"I watched because a couple of years earlier, a "reporter" for the NYT had gushed over his white teeth and said he was a Robert Redford lookalike. ((Can I put a link here? I'll try.))"
ROBERT REDFORD LOOKALIKE? 🤮🤮🤮🤮
I first became aware of Trump in the mid-80s and my initial reaction was "Why are people supposed to care about this guy? He's just another rich douchebag." But it was the "greed is good" '80s and PAB was always much better at self-promotion than he was at real estate.

Yeah, no on the Robert Redford thing. I thought he looked more like a young Vladimir Putin with more hair in that video.
I lived in southern New Jersey when he promised to "make Atlantic City great again" by building casinos and hiring all the folks who lived in AC. Except he farmed all the good jobs out to suburban white kids who moved into town like a plague of carpetbaggers and it left AC worse off than before.

By the time he became a game show host it was clear he was nothing but a media creation.
Part of the absurdity of that pic is that the bedroom is so pedestrian. It looks like the guest room in a suburban tract house.
Yeah....the bathrobe photo was ridiculous. But, not to him, I guess....short fingered vulgarian.
Pretty sure the entity actually running Fox News is a 50 pound bag of onions and each host is required to meet the onions once a week (yes, the bag of onions wears a business suit, just to keep it legit); afterwards, the hosts go on their shows and cry...but it's the onions that are behind the whole thing

I see from the photo that Laura Ingraham's bowels still have not moved - a personal record for Ms. Ingraham, since the last event was when Nixon resigned his presidency.
Oh don't worry, she'll shit herself when Trump goes to prison.
Yes, EXACTLY. I'm glad you caught my inference.
Michael Beschloss is an absolute treasure, and this hate-spewer needs to keep his name out of her mouth.
I can't decide between John Meacham and Beschloss.
I, for one, wouldn't wish Ingraham on Canada's worst fake girlfriends. No one deserves that.
