Here's a story from The Atlantic on what is going on with Snopes. The ex of the CEO sold her 50% steak to a web management company who is contracted with Snopes. There is now a legal struggle for control.

I often wondered why even bitter spouses don't try to solve everything without expensive lawyers, but sometimes people just can't reach a suitable compromise. So, it's war.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Well in this case the legal dispute is between the CEO and the management company who bought the shares. The ex doesn't seem to be envolved.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

Snopes has stunk for years. The first clue
is that Libs love it like it's the Bible.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Quote: Charles Krauthammer
Being a New Yorker is no excuse. This is the degradation of the presidency. This is what we have come to. None of us have ever seen this. The reason is, it’s not to be done. That type of language is not to be used, particularly when it’s infighting in the White House. The fact that the president is allowing all this to go on, I think it means it rests with him. He’s the only one who can actually restrain this. He appears not to. Perhaps he believes Scaramucci is the guy who will clear the swamp in the White House, but this is really disgraceful.


Krauthammer is right. He's refering to the fact that Anthony Scaramucci called up a reporter at 10pm to accuse Oval Office colleague Steve Bannon of performing fellatio (I'm paraphrasing obviously; Scaramucci used more explicit words).

This Scaramucci guy was personally hand-picked by Donald Trump to represent the White House. The evangelical Christians who support Trump must be very proud.

Self-fellatio.

Incompetent people tend not to hire competent underlings, largely in reflection of their own lack of competence. Narcissistic incompetent people deliberately do not hire competent underlings, because they'd then live in mortal fear of being shown up.

Reminder: we are now at the point in the year where the GOP-ers believed that Obamacare repeal and tax reform would already be signed into law.
