Maggie needs to stop snorting the Republican Magic Balance Fairy Dust and get into a 12 step program. The first step is for Maggie to confess that she's just a stenographer for the GOP...

I'd say Nate Silver's Tweets have an 80% chance of no spelling errors.

THat interview where Trump told Haberman and some other NYTimes writer that going if Mueller investigated his financial behavior it would be going too far was one where Haberman literally put the words in Trump's mouth with her question. She's an interesting journalist to say the least.

Vag envy? Is that a thing?

Then my work here is done. It's what she is.

Don't forget that a fake Hillary body double emerged from her daughter's house. The real Hillary is still missing.

Just information:

Looks like Wonkette used the recent 'final' report by Harvard. Figure 1 in this report. (I haven't had any covfefe yet this morning, and I'd need many cups to read the whole thing.) https://dash.harvard.edu/bi...

What I'd seen, before this morning, was an earlier writeup on Harvard's work. I got hung up on its Figure 13, which shows that the WaPo was second only to Fox(!) in its negative coverage of Clinton, and WAAAY more "succesful" than the NYTimes in this regard. https://shorensteincenter.o...

I'm going to look for background to support the 'WaPo hates Clintons' thing, but I'm going to get coffee first, even if it's only K-cup quality. (My "girlfriend" is gonna be pissed, when she sees that I'm frittering away another day of my retirement, and still not finished painting my old house's small sunroom.) I don't want to be argumentative with any person. (Conflict stresses me out.) I think the commenters on Wonkette are some of the 'best and brightest' that I've seen.

But I'm getting so tired of all the stories filling the air and print and ... everything ... that are lies, all lies ... that I can't seem to just let anything go. Positive spin? It's keeping me more active as I start retirement. Negative spin? The bad vibes are shortening my lifespan.

Always. Always. Since the dawn of time. Which is why I stopped buying it and still won't. Well, and Judith Miller.

Oh, I know some old stupid woman haters and one or two smart old cunts who still hate Clinton and love Trump. I can't look them in the face. I will never forgive them or forget what they did. The Stein person was also an edumacated fool but I never liked her or her *work*. I wasted hours on all of them. All the hillbillies I know voted with the common sense God gave them.

Jesus. Clinton actually said this about the WaPo, in May. "I think Jeff Bezos saved The Washington Post," Clinton said. "But newspapers, like the Post, the Journal, the Times, others — still drive news. ... It was a very good use of his financial resources. Because now we have a very good newspaper again operating in Washington, and driving news elsewhere." https://www.cnbc.com/2017/0...

I don't think I'm wrong about the WaPo's "hating." At the moment, I'm going with the assumption that HRC is actually a god, for being able to say something like this with a smile on her face. Sounds like she was able to make an "aspirational" statement.

So far, I've only found this: https://www.mediamatters.or... I'm getting irritable; still haven't gotten that covfefe. "So the argument today that journalists are being tough on Clinton because she avoids the press doesn't hold water." "It seems no matter what approach Clinton takes, the press has agreed upon a plan: take her down." A WaPo columnist admitted that the WaPo was in on this(?).

BTW, if posting all this crap/links in Yr Wonkette comments is inappropriate, please just say so.

I'm almost 6 weeks post delivery of our beautiful baby boy. When I get back to work, I'll be giving Wonkette some of that hard earned money! https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

Don't forget when Hillary almost fainted in the hot sun, she was dying and had to be whisked away to a secret meeting with a doctor at her daughter's house. (Which, by the way, was the original basement pizza pedophile ring hangout.)

I mean, there's always bad apples. Unless you're the police?
