I saw a headline that Mel has the justice department filing on her behalf over a broken NDA with her friend.

How many of those words do not belong in a ration sentance?

I wonder if it had anything to do with the whistleblower wearing a Merlin outfit and turban.

Twitter has suspended the NY Post's account for distribution of hacked material.

Kayleigh McEnany's personal account has also been locked lol.

Yup, but I'm not sure how else to deal with the rampant misinformation. The only other thing I can think to do is to allow some kind of factcheck either by the aggrieved party or Twitter itself. And those suggestions have their own problems.

This is really something we should be able to solve on BSG. I'll craft some kind of mission statement and we can get right on this.

Just saw a pic of Barron for the first time since he was like 6 or something. He looks like a complete russian douchebag. If I were Barron, I would demand a DNA sample from Putin.

Rudy Giuliani is such a technological genius; After his interview with Spicer ended, he started doing a mocking Chinese accent and posted it to his youtube channel. It's still there.

edit- he took it down. Here's a daily beast post about it:

Their ad hoc decision making on this stuff is bad and will make no one happy. Jack is trying to back track, but it's largely garbage.

I get there's no perfect answer, but they stepped in it today.

Wow, he's really not all there. The repeating phrases and he's mentally off on his own. They keep trying to pull him back. I wasn't sure if his talkshow persona was real or an act, but this clears that up.

Good, let them think that. Meanwhile, Biden will be running up a 10 point victory on Trump's sorry ass.

MacIsaac told reporters on Wednesday that a MacBook laptop was dropped off at his shop in Wilmington, Del., in April 2019. MacIsaac, who said he was legally blind, said that he was almost certain that it was Hunter Biden who dropped off the computer.
