I don't know what reality this guy is living in, but anti-polish sentiment does not depend on who killed your ancestors (wtf??). If someone hates you for being polish they don't wait to find out who you marry or whether your forebears died fighting in war, in a concentration camp, or in a gulag. I am... off-put by this dude's insinuation. I'm not even sure how to properly respond to it because it's just so bizarre.

And an FYI I don't know if anyone else has been keeping up on the white nationalist movement in Russia and how it's related to the rise of Donald Trump and the alt-right. Wonkette might want to do a creature feature on this.

Well why not? A fake President giving out media passes to fake news outlets sounds about right to me. That's the only way Trump is going to get favorable publicity.

Scary times.

"The link between white nationalists and Russia was not apparent before November. We knew aides Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Carter Page and Jeff Sessions had contacts with the Russians, but we did not know the degree to which they now appeared to have been enmeshed."

That pube-rug has been looking extra scraggly lately; maybe he already has.

It's the Trump Access Hollywood tape all over again. People willfully refusing to understand why we're upset.

Although I do wonder what Rand Paul's being blackmailed with, to make him not get upset at witnessing a president under investigation by the FBI firing his own investigator, and then getting to pick who gets to be in charge of investigating him. I had figured Paul was obstinate enough that he'd probably fuss some about it, but nope...

Being born wealthy, and then reading Ayn Rand their whole lives doesn't help any

I think the GOP will ride along, thinking they can destroy the social safety net, get rid of all regulations, and make sure the super wealthy get super-super wealthy. I hope they fall with him.

Probably just found some better bushes to hide out in. I bet Trump would let Spicer build a blanket fort in the PEOC and hide out there, if he asked.

You're being kind. He's missing the other half, too.
