OT, but somehow related. At the Summit in Singapore, Trump pitched Kim on Trump Hotel, Pyongyang.

So it's all good.

Not quite. Trump doesn’t care if he lied or not. To him, the only thing that matters is what he’s saying right now. I don’t think he gets the concept of “perjury”.

Also, the fewer your lies, the greater your credibility. Don’t squander it.

Speaking from the heart of chicago on a drizzly day, i totally agree with you.

In fact, my BFF and i will be ordering the thinnest we can find to accompany our red wine this evening.

(Seriously, i do not love the deep dish and i eat pizza AT MINIMUM twice a week...)

Yep, I'm with you; never heard of them either. And Bannon, after seven whole months of sleazin' around the WH has now proclaimed himself as the savior (or destroyer depending on who you listen to) of the Repug Party. Like he now has so much clout and gravitas. As CripesAmighty says above, referring to Page (but I think could apply to any of this idiota) "He so wishes he were Man of Mystery G. Gordon Liddy." I would offer that these guys want to be like the Liddys and Segrettis and the rest as portrayed in the movies. Remember what our ol' buddy Deep Throat said "Forget the myths the media's created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand."

Oh, that's right. It's in that little strip mall on Damen with ridiculous parking, isn't it? I prefer thin crust, too, but I get burned out on the same pizza every week (there aren't a lot of places to order food from out here), so we get the "casserole," once in a while.

Me too. I even like Jewel's (Safeway, basically)store brand. I like my home-made pizza best of all. A box of Jiffy pizza crust mix, a half a bottle or so of Ragu pizza sauce, and some parm and mozzarella cheese. It's not prize-winning, but it's simple, cheap and quick.

That's what I heard. Maybe everybody else is right and it's fake. Either way, it's awesome, and I don't doubt that it's something that he could have done. He was a master of numchuks.

Not lying is not in the Republican playbook. It's a foreign concept to them. Some of them, like Trump, have it so bad you cannot trust them to give you the correct time. They have to throw it off, even if only by five minutes. People like Trump are born with the ability to lie all the time, others, like Carter, have to develop it. It's not fully developed by Carter since he shows signs of fearing lies. Trump, on the other hand, will lie anywhere and to anyone. I hope that results in his downfall, if anyone can get him under oath.

Exactly. There’s a couple great slice places closer to wicker park too. Up by you, we LOVE JP McCartney’s in Wilmette - some of my favorite pizza anywhere.

And barnaby’s. (For real).
