So Trump caved again, surprise surprise.
Anybody notice a pattern?
I'm sure the Iranians, Norks, Russians, Chinese, Venezuelans and Mexicans are all quaking in their boots.
He really has turned Teddy Roosevelt's dictum on its head- he is all bluster and no stick.

I’m loving Chase on Slog PM. Great writing and voice, plus he covers quite a bit so I feel all informed and stuff.

Thanks, Chase!

"it's silly, but any second they spend not
shooting people is a net positive" --aran
Hard to argue with that....

The same can be said for our Illegitmate "president"
-- time for your Golf Game, Mr. President.
Or your nap.

Ankle deep rain in New Orleans
not to worry, Climate Skepticks
it'll be Here soon enough.

Along with 50 (or a hundred) Million Refugees.
Gonna get Cozy.

Boy, that's one pissed off Leprechan.
Did someone pee on him on St. Paddy's Day?

Good.

I think it's gonna fucking RAIN*
is what I think.

*in the Rainy season.
After that's Fires
and then fifty feet of Snow.

This Planet's getting
Trumpfosis.

That little guy NY Post reported that he has, I can't remember, a twitter or youtube of him going stark raving mad in public more than a few times. Always about his dinky stature as a human, and as a man. Crying out, for attention, acting out like a witto babee.

JUST when you thought it was safe to visit the Big Easy nearly 14 years after August 29, 2005----Holy SHEE-it, that is serious rain! Welcome to Hurricane Katrina II: The Sequel (ever notice how our worst, most costly and damaging national weather disasters happen when RepubliKKKans are in office?). I have a good longtime friend born and raised in Bellingham, WA who moved down there in 2016. I'll bet she's now wishing she hadn't, and that those about to lose everything won't get a dime of FEMA assistance in this current Err of Trump.
@1 kallipugos: When will someone finally pop that ugly disgusting blimp full of hot, toxic foul air? Would doing so set off another hurricane?
@7 kristofarian: If we get rain in the PNW, at least we wouldn't have to worry about out of control wildfires or careless doofuses hellbent on starting them for drunken shits and giggles.

Disney is clearly on its way out with Pixar swiftly kicking serious ass. See Toy Story 4 instead.

Seriously. What IS it about grocery / convenience store ice cream?

...b-b-but! If the cops guard all the ice cream, who will serve and protect the donuts?
Krispy Kreme raid!!!!! Remember, you read it here first.

@9 Disney bought Pixar 15 years ago.

Re: Epstein & rape culture

Aaaaaaaand Secretary Molesta is out. Gonna spend more time with his Flowers in the Attic no doubt. It appeared that Prezirapist AntiChrist was gonna keep him on a few more weeks just for his own joy in mocking sexual assault survivors, so the next shoe to drop must be reeeeaaaalllly bad.

"Would doing so [popping the trumpfian baby] set off another hurricane?

It's pretty likely, Auntie Gee.
Or a tsunami. But it'd probably be
more a terrible Typhoon.

Lotsa rain is just what our greenery craves to grow bigger and stronger. Unfortuantely, when we (WA) don't dip below 90 in the day and 80 at night, if the veggies don't get watered, they turn into fire fodder.

Good luck.
Thanks, Kochs.

I agree Chase is great on the Slog. I wont let you ruin The Lion King tho have some fucking decency.

Re: Glossier. I had no idea what that place was about, despite there always seeming to be long lines of femillenails going around the corner. But, it was only there for a few months - I guess giving out endless free samples or whatever in hopes people would actually buy over-priced cosmetics wasn't a good business strategy?

@1 and @4 obviously failed Economics.

Trump's response to France levying a service tax on corporations doing business in France, which classical economics shows will mostly be eaten by the highly profitable corporations (who were intentionally avoiding tax in the first place), is to pass a Consumer Tax on American citizens.

See?

Now go read a textbook by someone who isn't a gold bug.

@12 robotslave: Disney owns Pixar? Why is the film quality between the companies so drastically skewed? Pixar's delightful computer animated films rock the house (really, if you haven't already, go see Toy Story 4), while Disney just keeps stubbornly pushing live action and crappy remakes.
Note to filmmakers: do NOT "remake" the classics!
@14 kristofarian: Unfortunately, that was what I was thinking, too. That, plus a new wave of MAGA idiots roasting in red districts or drowning in the deep-fried hurricane battered South. I wonder how many MAGAs will morph into zombies and / or swamp critters? Tom Waits was right: This planet's fucked.

@18

Go see "Moana," it's as good as the best Pixar films. Or "Frozen," even, it's a superb movie if you can look past its stupefying commercial success.

"Tangled," "Big Hero 6" and "Zootopia" are all on par with Pixar's mid-grade work, and Wreck-it Ralph is, well, better than "Cars," at least.

I don't know if you've just missed them or what, but Disney Animation Studios has been on a roll for the past decade or so.
