    State Rep. Katie Arrington, the lunatic who primaried Sanford in my district's Republican US House primary, was apparently in a terrible wreck last night on a stretch of Highway 17 that is particularly representative of the shoddy infrastructure in my stone-age state.

    The driver who hit her was traveling in the wrong direction, and was killed.

    Sarah Huckabee complains on twitter that she was asked to leave a restaurant.

    let's think about that.

    There is also something circulating about young Trump staffers complaining that they can’t get dates in DC because “everyone hates them”.

    I have the tiniest of violins playing.

    ETA: Found the tweet and Mark Provost’s response: “If a baker can’t be forced to make a cake for a gay couple, why should a restaurant be forced to cook for you?”

    Props to @Ender Sai for being right. Again.

    We're a few stops closer to autocracy.

    I'm surprised DC staffers
    I'm surprised that her and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, along with other Trump politicians, even TRY to go to DC restaurants anymore. Especially Nielsen, with the nerve--the nerve!--to go to a Mexican restaurant. Are they so ignorant, or have they built up a complete tolerance to the taste of spit in their food?

    Nielsen and Miller almost certainly chose Mexican dining establishments with the purpose of getting media coverage about it. Miller in particular isn't dumb-- he understood what he was doing.

    Sarah Huckabee’s “ says far more about her than about me” line is beyond tiresome. She said the same thing about Michelle Wolf.

    And yes, it says that those people have the moral clarity to recognize when someone is a liar working for a human rights-infringing organization. Whereas with Huckabee it’s not clear if she’s too morally untethered to realize, or understands but is too greedy to care.

    I suspect that it probably got review-bombed the same way the Solo movie and Chuck Wendig’s books got review bombed (and before anyone asks, there are certainly legitimate non-bigoted reasons to dislike the Solo movie and Chuck Wendig’s books, and many people have posted such reasons on this site). Also, people who think like Mark Provost will probably make a point of eating there now.

    I will certainly make a point to stop by there next time I’m in the area.

    I would also add that it’s possible that the restaurant did not want to deal with the protesters that the two Mexican restaurants dealt with.

    Remember Trump tweeting "There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea."?

    Yesterday, he just signed an extension to the notice (originally by Bush in 2008) that reads "The existence and risk of proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material on the Korean Peninsula and the actions and policies of the government of North Korea continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy and economy of the United States”

    Hilarious

    At this point, whenever we say “Trump said” it would be easier to just replace it with “Trump lied”

    I don't know why we're tagging J-Rod with everything Trump. I mean if I want his opinion on a current issue or policy I'll do it (or to clarify his views i.e. Stormy Daniels), but over some random quote?

    I'm guessing it's because J-Rod thinks Trump has somehow changed since his affairs, etc--the Trump quote kind of blows that out of the water.

    I do agree that the J-Rod tagging is excessive, though.

    Because at this point he might actually be Trump. Trump has been known to create aliases to call into radio shows. J-Rods spelling of boarders also is a red flag. He is Trump. :p

    They're just not very bright people and they run on facebook logic: if we change it you'll complain for a few days and continue to use our product. Same thing here, they think they're gonna go to the Winchester, have a pint, and wait for the whole thing to blow over.

    This should be getting a lot more press.

    It's called censorship, and it's not okay. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump's team had somehow threatened his boss or the paper in someway. Hard to prove, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
