If anybody knows who the President of the Virgin Islands is, can they please tell the White House?

Revisionist history

The White House did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment. But in the official White House transcript after the speech, his reference to Mapp as President was corrected to "governor."

Two thoughts came to mind after I read that article:

(1) I found it interesting that senior GOP members were like "Huh, cheated on his wife? No worries. Encouraged that mistress to abort an expected pregnancy? Still good. Yelled at staff? Get the fuck out."

(2) I will never be able to reconcile why it is so difficult for people to just be decent human beings. How fucked up in your own head do you have to be to treat people like that?

Recently we’ve seen a lot of what power (and the quest for it) does to people.

German football club Hertha Berlin players took a knee before their match.

BERLIN (AP) — Hertha Berlin nodded to social struggles in the United States by kneeling before its Bundesliga game at home on Saturday.

Hertha's starting lineup linked arms and took a knee on the pitch, while coaching staff, officials and substitutes took a knee off it.

On Twitter, the Bundesliga club says, "Hertha BSC stands for tolerance and responsibility! For a tolerant Berlin and an open-minded world, now and forevermore!"

The action was intended to show solidarity with NFL players who have been demonstrating against discrimination in the U.S. by kneeling, sitting or locking arms through the anthem before games.

Happy good mornings... Citizens in Trump voting states which disproportionately gained from ACA are panicking with Presidential Promise Keeping. I'd chuckle if it wasn't such a horrible, self induced situation for the USA. Pro-Trump states affected by the EO. Thing is, they don't even know how shitty it will be

Lots of chatter on Twitter about a war breaking out tonight in Kurdistan. I hope that's not true.

Flynt taking down trump would be delicious.


My money's still on Flynn, but Flynt would be something.

Tillerson on SoTU was amusing. Not going to talk about "moron". In fairness the media needs something else to talk about. Tillersen says its true that more countries are standing with the US... around North Korea... missing that NK has nrver been so active with any other US President in office. He backhandedly says the US is staying in the Iran Nuke treaty. Really, it asa was of my time to watch.

Iraq's central gov't and the Kurds possibly going into civil war would be sub-optimal. At least we have a steady hand on the tiller as president who won't inflame things further with ill-advised tweets or off the cuff comments that don't understand the complexity of the situation.

Where would Iran stand on that scenario? Speaking as someone who also doesn't understand the complexities of the situation (but at least grasps that there are some).
