Can you imagine what it must be like for the poor women who have to work with those creeps? A perfect illustration of the need for Me too.

You lie!

I have noticed the amount of women posters dropping off

Important tip. So important think of it as an order.

Amazon is streaming season 1 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel for free this weekend. I'd not seen it before. It is utterly brilliant in all ways - acting, casting, writing, costuming, sets, soundtrack, camera work. Best thing I've seen in a long while.

Watch it. Or I will come to where you live and eat your pet.

llinois Sen. Dick Durbin says he had high hopes of securing President Trump's approval of a bipartisan plan for "Dreamers" when he and South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham went to the White House to make their presentation at about noon Thursday.

According to Durbin, he and Graham believed they would be the only lawmakers in the room with the president, and they were surprised to find that in the two hours since Durbin's first phone call with the White House, Mr. Trump had invited five other members of Congress as well. All were immigration hardliners

Yeah, once Trump indicated that he was willing to compromise, they figured they could play him for a chump. They thought they could flounce in, completely unopposed, present their bullshit as being supported by "everybody," and he would fall for it.

No doubt Trump's "shithole" characterization was in part provoked by their presumptuousness. He had said the word "merit" was crucial to any plan he would approve and they ignored that completely.

Nice try, cheese-eaters.

There aint no "mistake" here, it was all premeditated:

Hawaii's scary false missile threat: Worker's push of the 'wrong button' to blame

Hawaii emergency officials confirmed Saturday evening that an alert about an inbound ballistic missile was a mistake, which a state emergency official attributed to someone pushing the wrong button.

At about 8:07 a.m. local time, Hawaii citizens received an emergency alert on their phone that read: “BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.”

"The U.S. Pacific Command has detected a missile threat to Hawaii. A missile may impact on land or sea within minutes. This is not a drill," the television broadcast stated. "If you are indoors, stay indoors. If you are outdoors, seek immediate shelter in a building. Remain indoors well away from windows."

"If you are driving, pull safely to the side of the road and seek shelter in a building or lay on the floor. We will announce when the threat has ended. This is not a drill. Take immediate action measures," the broadcast concluded.

Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, tweeted: "...The whole state was terrified...."

Hawaii Gov. David Ige said Saturday is "a day that most of us will never forget," a day Hawaii residents thought "our worst nightmare might be happening."

"Clearly, government agencies are not prepared and lack the capacity to deal with emergency situations," Saiki said. He also noted that the State House would begin an immediate investigation.

Like I done said, no mistake. This little escapade was designed, among other things:

1. To be a "test run" and to establish, as a precedent, that "mistakes can be made" due to human error. We might just end up nuking N. Korea "by mistake," ya know?

2. To show that the "warning" system is basically useless, in any event. It won't protect anybody. Best way to do that is to take them bastards out, NOW.

3. To expose citizens, first hand, to the real dangers lurking out there. To "terrorize" them, for lack of a better word. Now, they won't complain if N. Korea suddenly gets nuked--by mistake or otherwise.

Good work, Trump! The stage has now been set.
