Suffering pickaxes and dog poop, Trump’s Hollywood star has become a symbolic spectacle

This article made me curious about who all had stars on the walk of fame. Orange Foolis doesn't even share the same atomsphere of the people I can think of off the top of my head. Wikipedia has a whole list - which is HUGE! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stars_on_the_Hollywood_Walk_of_Fame#T

I ran across a few when I skimmed the list that also made me laugh - Victoria Secret's Angels have a star.

Thank you, miniroller - My Monday morning needed this! And make sure you turn on the sound. 

Edited because I worded it wrong … you want the sound on.

Supreme Court gives victory to Planned Parenthood in Medicaid case


The dispute did not involve abortion, but rather was a legal battle over whether states could block Medicaid patients' access to other health services.

Lol GOOD. 1) The Yankees are terrible so they can just further sully themselves and 2) a political neophyte in that position is a boon for Democrats.

I am so curious about what she knows and was involved in.

Did he....just admit to personally orchestrating that payment, as alleged? On twitter?

The sound is funny.

However, this is more along the lines of my personal fantasy of his ending.

No, he blames it solely on Cohen in the next tweet. With a dig at Obama, natch.

As you should. And also imobviouslystaying this might be a marketing opportunity for you!

Oh, and a smocking gun, for reference:

I was wondering when you were going to weigh in on this one. 

Offended, indeed.

Rachel Maddow is talking about how Maria Butina has now pled guilty and as part of her plea agreement, is going to start cooperating.

I have a feeling she’s probably a liar, and they know this, and it’s going to blow up in her face like it did with Manafort. But it would be nice if she turned over some good NRA dirt.

Yeah, I don’t understand a “cooperating” Russian spy. There’s no such thing. Why even go through the charade?

[ESF]

Rachel is also saying:

- NRA spent $12.5 mil on Romney and $30 mil on Trump

- the money came from the part of the NRA where they don’t have to disclose where the money came from

- there are new documents showing illegal coordination between the NRA and Trump per this article

I think a smocked collar would be more appropriate somehow.
