I'd argue that Harry Reid was far more effective at his job (Senate Majority/Minority leader) than Donald has been at his so far...

McCain is Lucy, McConnell is Charlie Brown, and Donald is the football.


Well, McCain ins't constantly setting the Trump down for McConnell to kick, though he did take the orange ball away twice in a row.... But the funny thing is McConnell kicked the Trump anyway!

Apparently, there are still unreleased photos of Marilyn Monroe coming out in a new book from a photographer's collection.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

If you read different biographies of people
that knew her, she was a pain to live with
and a bigger pain to work with. She was
awful at showing up on time and could
never remember her lines when she did.

Everyone who worked with her tells a
similar story to this:

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

She did decent work as a actress, but that's not really why she became famous. Nor was it her great intellect. Nor was it her ability to get along with other actors.

She had an on screen presence that can't
be learned, you're born with it. She lit up
every room she was in. She wasn't smart
or all that talented, she had that 'something'.
Tony Curtis said he knew 20 actresses more
beautiful, but none had the bigger than life
persona that a camera picks up on Marilyn
had.

The New York Times has identified 600 fake Twitter accounts, most of them robotic. Who controls them? Russia. And what were these Russian Twitter bots chatting about over the weekend? The NFL and the Star Spangled Banner, of course. Some of the bots lean "left" politically, some lean "right" politically.

Quote: New York Times
After a weekend when Americans took to social media to debate President Trump’s admonishment of N.F.L. players who do not stand for the national anthem, a network of Twitter accounts suspected of links to Russia seized on both sides of the issue with hashtags such as #boycottnfl, #standforouranthem and #takeaknee.


Russia's goal is to interfere, distract, and manipulate us. And all of us take the bait.

Fake Twitter accounts are old news. What kind of person follows some of these accounts?

I see Twitter as useful for Trump getting unfiltered thoughts out, though I don't follow it. Or for if you run a group of people and need to get messages out, remind about meetings, whatever. But who really cares about #takeaknee?
