J.K. Rowling ✔ @jk_rowling
Yes, watching Piers Morgan being told to **** off on live TV is *exactly* as satisfying as I'd always imagined. https://twitter.com/ditzkoff/status/830265494389321728 …

Then Morgan tweeted back...

“This is why I’ve never read a single word of Harry Potter.”

The fact-free, amoral, bigotry-apologism of celebrity toady Piers Morgan is, of course, why it's so delicious to see him told to **** off. https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/830402544543232001 …

More "Oh just **** right off!" news

Quote:

In comments to Fox News yesterday, Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway painted the President’s reticence to discipline her for an embarrassing ethical breach as a victory for women everywhere.

“All I can say to America’s women is,” Conway simpered, “at some point in our life you ought to have a boss who treated you the way that the president of the United States treated me today.”

Daily Beast

Serial pussy grabbing sexual assault dude demonstrates his respect for the female gender by not taking Conway out back and shooting her in the face with a shotgun. "Oh hear me, ye women. This man is a true voice for the compassionate respect of our gender, of those of us who are so often treated as second class citizens or as a pussy on legs"

@layman,

Quote:

A chinaman in a rice paddy is not "subject to our jurisdiction." If he were in our country he would be subject to our laws, but he'd still be a chinaman, subject to the juridiction of China. Same with foreign diplomats.

As an analogy, let's say you and I live in NY and I buy a car from you. I move to Nevada. I don't want your car any more, so I sue you for fraud in a Nevada court. Are you "subject to the jurisdiction" of Nevada? You're an American. So am I. Nevada is part of America.....

There is no absolute, god-given, answer to that question. "Jurisdiction" will be what we end up defining it to be, under the circumstances.

Spicer was right, like he always is. So we can't just tell Spicer to **** right off like those other two above. The Nordstrom decision was obviously a personal attack on the president. The Wall Street Journal proves it. Mean!

The speed with which "fake news" has come to mean "deeply sourced and credible investigative reporting" is amazing.

Yes and no.

As georgeob, for one, knows, I saw this coming more well over a month ago because I know how right wing media operates and how it influences those who live in that world are influenced by it.

What I didn't figure on though was that Trump and his people would utilize it as the reigning referent for all mainstream media coverage. My mistake (shame on me) was not appreciating just how vile and corrupt these people are, how completely willing they are to say or do perhaps anything in order to create civic chaos in aid of domination and unfettered power.

I distinctly remember during the Tea Party townhall protests when Chaffetz said exactly these same things. It's just one reason I respect him as much as I do.

Quote:

Chaffetz said that he is sure that protestors were paid to demonstrate at and disrupt his town hall, telling the paper that one speaker made it a point to make clear that he was not being paid by the Democrats.

"Absolutely. I know there were," he said, telling the paper that it was "more of a paid attempt to bully and intimidate" than the feelings of his constituents.

TPM
He hasn't revealed exactly how he knows absolutely that these protesters were paid or by who but when you have a politician with this much integrity/honesty you can count on him having loads of evidence. Am I right? Of course I am.

@hightor,

And, Andrew Sullivan is basically a conservative (I've liked him for years. and miss his blog, The Dish). He does write sometimes in NY Magazine.

That Sullivan piece I quoted earlier that hightor is drawing from is extremely bright. Definitely a must read.

Blatant factual errors! Fake news! I don't think the president even has a bathrobe. He certainly doesn't wear one. Fake news! Lies!
pssst...here's Ivanka on The Apprentice telling that daddy wears a pink bathrobe

Good to add that explicit Jewish item which is often only implicit in the alt-right cheese thing

By their use of fear. The boogeyman is out there to do us harm; it's a very dangerous world.
