>>Like how just the other day, Bill Maher was absolutely swooning over him, and that, I have to say, truly feels like the correct trajectory for Bill Maher.<<
I mean, reliable rumor has it that Maher bumped uglies with Ann Coulter, so the bar was already near rock bottom.
Judge Strikes Down Trump’s Massive Attack on Legal Immigration
A federal judge has ruled against the extreme anti-immigration policies Trump instituted last fall.
A federal judge in Rhode Island struck down a slew of President Trump’s policies halting immigration processing and freezing out asylum-seekers, ruling that a federal agency was motivated by “anti-immigrant sentiments that it is forbidden from letting influence its decision-making.”
I hate to be rude Joe. But, once again, I'M BACON!!!! That my "thing". Like Stephen Wright's dry sense of humor or Gallagher smashing cantaloupe!!!!!!1!!!!
Veteran correspondents Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker and Jon Wertheim informed their colleagues they would remain at "60 Minutes" Friday, but public reaction was mixed.
The broadcast legends circulated a memo to CBS News colleagues saying they would stay on despite the firings of executive producer Tanya Simon, executive editor Draggan Mihailovich and three correspondents, including Scott Pelley.
But they struck a defiant tone in their decision to continue work at the venerable news magazine.

“We have had a hard time deciding whether to stay at’ 60 Minutes,’" the memo stated. "We’re still deeply upset by the firings of Tanya and Draggan, strong leaders who everyone respected. As far as we can tell – because no explanation has ever been offered, they were expelled because they fought for our ’60 Minutes’ values and stood up to protect our independence and integrity."
"Newsrooms are not supposed to be run like dictatorships," the memo added. "Collaboration and argument are the way we have always worked at ’60.’ Don Hewitt actually encouraged loud passionate advocacy for our pieces.”
CBS News has been plunged into turmoil under the leadership of editor in chief Bari Weiss, who was installed by new network owner and Donald Trump ally Larry Ellison. Keeping the three longtime correspondents was seen as crucial to saving the long-running program.

“We don’t want to see ‘60 Minutes’ die,” the correspondents said.
Their decision was met with a wide range of opinion, although many agreed the program would not survive under Weiss.
"Chickens---s. What an insult to Pelley," popped off journalist David Roberts.
"You can't fix him," lamented writer Karl Bode. "It's dead."
"60 Minutes is already dead," agreed blogger Charles Johnson. "It has joined the Choir Invisible. There’s no way it’s ever going to come back from this."
"The only excuse for staying that I would've accepted is to protect the jobs of the many people who work for them," opined journalist Helen Kennedy. "This was not that. They say they want to keep '60 Minutes' alive. But '60 Minutes' has been murdered. It's dead now. They should know that."

It's already dead, Leslie. All that's left now is to see how big a pile of flaming shit it becomes and how long you'll let your reputations be shredded before you clock out and, "Who could have foreseen how far they would fall. Don't blame us. We tried. We really, really did."
Looking at the county election returns, I don't think there's enough votes for Raman to overtake Pratt. So the general will be Bass vs. Pratt. I'd be very happy to be wrong, of course.
Having spent a bit of time in my 20s "down the Shore," as the locals say, I was kind of tempted to have a look at that show Jersey Shore, but then I came to my senses.
OT: Republicans funded ICE. They asked for nothing in return. Republicans will never meaningfully turn no trump. Never.
From Dkos: Still in the end, while some Republicans broke with the president on those matters during hours of votes on Thursday, most of them swallowed their ongoing concerns and united to defeat Democrats’ efforts to tie Mr. Trump’s hands.”
US House passes Ukraine aid and Russia sanctions bill over Trump's objections
The 226-195 vote was forced past Republican leaders. The bill imposes 500% tariffs on Russian goods, sanctions Rosatom, and bans Russian crude oil imports. Faces the Senate and Trump's veto.

Done great with these reality-TV stars becoming politicians, eh? Trump, Sean Duffy, Spencer Pratt…there’s some quality representation there.
They are modular

Nah. You wanted a fucking check.
Well, now you know who are the collaborators and who are the true journalists.
They are showing that they are on Nazi Bari's side.
The TV will not be turned on to watch anything on SEE B.S.

I'm sure that playing along and asking nicely will eventually get them the level of journalistic independence they need to do their jobs.
Their colleague was literally fired for refusing to insert lies into stories. They are still there. Do the math.
I don't understand why they stay on. Censorship is at work. Why stay for a former shadow of itself?
They may only be hanging around for a bit in order to finish off Bari Weiss' Reign of Error once and for all.
Maybe they are making a last stand to be the last few good reporters at what used to be a great station.
Seems like an exercise in futility, if you ask me.
I can't argue with that. I hope they go down in righteous flames!
Pratt seems to have the Nazi vote locked up but are the LA cops that retired and moved to Idaho still allowed a vote?
Yes, at least according to Senator Tuberville from AL—who may have voted in Florida while living in AL in 2018.
Tuberville may have an excuse though. He never learned how to speak GPS.
You know, you might be right
Looking at the county election returns, I don't think there's enough votes for Raman to overtake Pratt. So the general will be Bass vs. Pratt. I'd be very happy to be wrong, of course.
It would be interesting to have a spectroscopist as mayor.
We have a confirmed picture of the screwworms invading Texas!

Ugh! An abomination of POWER TIES! Yet again.
I watched a Real Housewives show only once for about 10 minutes and I could not believe that people watch that shit
How can they be termed Real Housewives when they have so many fake parts?

The Senate put in the funding. The House did not. Now comes the "reconciliation"
The house seems to be growing little ballrooms of their own this week. Let’s see how this turns out.
Wait, is that a rabbit’s foot around his neck?
Of course it won't pass but good for them I guess.
