“Is Sarah really not going to give any more White House press briefings?” the hair asked.
“I’ve canceled them,” the hat said. “I mean, what’s the point? They just ignore her and write what they want.”
“But it’s the White House Press briefing. They’ve all been lies and bullshit since the very first one.”
“Fuck ‘em. Let ’em read the press releases.”
“But what’s going to happen to Sarah? What is she going to do around here?”
“This and that. Cook and clean, I guess.”
“She’s going to look fucking terrible in a French maid uniform,” the hair said.
“Barf, dude. Just barf,” the hat said. “That shit is going to be in my mind forever.”
“Yeah, like that time I walked in on you trying to fuck a grapefruit wrapped up in duct tape.”
“Knock first!” the hat yelled.
“Oh, don’t worry about that from now on! One-hundred percent going to knock!”
Donald walked into the Oval Office, talking into his cellphone. “Ivanka, Ivanka, I’ll be my own press secretary. I’ve got Twitter, baby girl. Straight to the America people. The Real America. Farmers on tractors checking their Instagram accounts, steel mill workers pausing to take selfies with molten ore, FBI agents tracking my movements. FIFH-ty-seven million followers. I’m yuge!” He covered the phone with his free hand. “You boys want to say anything to Ivanka?”
The hair shook itself “no” in a freeform wave of tendrils. The hat said “Tell her to send me a sext. The good stuff this time. Baby-box or butthole.”
“Yeah, baby girl,” Donald said into the phone. “I gotta go. Make sure to send a sext later. Bye-bye. Daddy loves you, he really does. Tell Daddy you love him. OK, bye, sweetie.” The hair made a gagging sound and the hat giggled.
“Ivanka said we fired Pie. Is this fake news?” Donald said, turning to glare at the hat and the hair.
“Not true,” the hat said.
“Of course not,” the hair said.
“I just canceled all future White House press briefings until the stupid reporters learn to be respectful,” the hat said.
“Why wasn’t I informed of this?!?” asked the man who was informed of it numerous times.
The hat and hair looked at one another. The hat coughed.
“I’m tweeting about this,” Donald said.
“OK,” the hat said.
“I mean it,” Donald said. “I’ll tweet about it unless you stop me.”
“No one is going to stop you, Donald,” the hair said.
Donald took off his pants and then typed furiously on his phone for a few moments.
“My thumb is right over the “send” button!” he said.
“Just make sure to call her Sarah,” the hair said.
“Sarah? Who the fuck is Sarah? Donald asked.
‘Podium?” the hair asked, reading over the hat’s brim. “Isn’t it actually a lectern?”
“You stand on a podium, you read from a lectern. They aren’t interchangeable,” the hat said snidely.
“But he puts podium in quotation marks,” the hair said. “Is he saying it really isn’t a podium?”
“Like a fake podium, a pseudopodia?” the hat asked, laughing at his own pun.
“Fuck you both,” Donald said. “Seriously.”

It’s a good question on a first date.

Why does the grapefruit need to be wrapped in duct tape? Better traction?
Fewer explosions, also
Hamsters
Duct tape. Is there anything it can’t fix??
The hat’s reproductive barb doesn’t fully extend until a certain amount of force is encountered. The grapefruit’s skin isn’t enough, thus the need for duct tape to increase the resistance.
“Barf, dude. Just barf,” the hat said. “That shit is going to be in my mind forever.”
That’s what WE said!
It’s a writerly trick. And it worked.

I saw a tweet reposted on Facebook “a school shooting at Covington would be acceptable”.
The smug white face associated with the tweet begs for a beating.
hysterical rage, nausea, and heartache this makes me feel
This sounds like a perfectly reasonable reaction to an incident where absolutely nothing actually happened. A very sane, intelligent reaction from our media overlords.
BTW, Warren Buffet’s favorite tax writeoff, the Omaha World-Herald, ran a story on the lying liar Nathan Phillips which featured this amusing bit:
Translation: stop asking us about this lunatic, he’s not our problem anymore.
LOL, nice touch
If I may go OT? Anyone have a good recipe for a teriyaki glaze (for swordfish steaks w/onion straws and sesame coleslaw)?
Roofies?
Nice. My only experience with those was having a chum in college who LOVED them and could, quite often be talked into doing outlandishly stupid things while under their tender embrace.
I was like that in HS with ‘ludes.
In college, we called them (‘ludes) Gorilla Cookies. Not without reason.
I think it’s just soy sauce and pineapple juice.
Where is the pizza dough in all of that?
You have to thicken it up with honey.
Make sure never to marinate with pineapple juice. Turns meat to gross mush.
Canned pineapple juice will work — the heat pasteurization kills the enzymes.
Ah, good tip.
This one got a lot of good reviews
https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/restaurant-teriyaki-sauce-133751
Thanks.
Generally, all you need is soy sauce (a good Japanese dark soy sauce), brown sugar, ginger, and garlic. I don’t use a recipe because I generally find the recipes I’ve found online to be too sweet. I just mix some up with about half as much sugar as garlic or ginger, and adjust to taste.
I make one with Teriyaki Sauce, Orange Blossom Honey, Corn Starch, Chicken Broth and Rice Vinegar, Salt and Pepper. Sometimes I’ll add a pinch of Chinese Five Spices.
The Vinegar and Honey tangle nicely. I add garlic to the veggies (Bok choy, red peppers, green onions, carrots, and celery — or whatever else you want). I always use Basmati or Jasmine rice made in the Instant Pot. I’ve used it with both beef and chicken so far.
Let’s just say we never have leftovers.
I’d like to make my own teriyaki base to start with, but I haven’t had the time to experiment with that.
Store brand teriyaki sauce.
Thank you all very much. I’ve got ginger, honey, soy, lime, brown sugar, garlic, and green onion; it’s

I see that hat doing it as a lark and the hair going, “this could actually work.”
TW: pointless whining.
I just clicked on a Jalopnik link about how “Wall Street hates Ford” (spoiler alert- because they suck, and Bill Ford is a blathering moron).
Anyway, the fucking story featured an unkillable video loop/gif at the edge of the screen which was about to send me into either an epileptic fit or a homicidal rage. I had to close the window. I can’t believe I’m the only person who refuses to put up with that shit, no matter how “enticing” the content might be. Why do “web designers” insist on doing that?
You are not. If I can’t kill a fucking video or am forced to accept cookies, i just close down the fucking site and avoid it going forward.
Yep. There’s no content on the internet that I want to read badly enough to tolerate that.
“Wall Street hates Ford”
Because they didn’t take the government bribe? I had an Explorer for five years. It was fine. Had to replace a compressor at $1200.
Also OT, but what could go wrong with doing this again? It’s not like it almost wrecked our economy and ended up costing the productive tax payers a few trillion or so…
But the nursing student who works part time providing home care for children and the elderly eventually hit pay dirt: For a roughly $610,000 home loan, a mortgage company let her verify her earnings with 12 months of bank statements and letters from clients. Ms. Hering said money she collects from roommates and from renting to Airbnb guests covers more…
600K. Are you fucking kidding me.
That is a seriously big risk. Both the student and the bank should be ashamed.
An online calculator says $2884 for principle and interest only on a 3.92% 30-year loan.
That is about 2/3rd my take-home pay per month. How did this part-time employee think it was a good idea? I can’t read the article, does it say what area this is in?
San Clemente, CA.
She inherited the house with some other family members and had to buy them out.
Oh, and she just knows she has the winning Powerball…
So…..she’s killing ol’ Grandad for the inheritance money?
Maybe I watch too much Investigation Discovery.
Still a student at 30? I’m seeing the echoes of previous lapses in judgement.
Chipwooder: Assuming it’s the same Grandfather she inherited the house from, it sounds like grandad is already gone. Of course, I’m fairly certain she’s overestimating how much of the money she’ll be getting. If she only got a third of the house, and the rest of her family got the rest, I’d guess the money will be split the same way.
And I’m sure there won’t be any bad blood in the family when the house is foreclosed on in a couple of years.
6% now on an adjustable rate mortgage. That’s with 1/3rd equity in the house.
What a fucking idiot.
It’s important to have a plan for these kinds of things. On the surface, inheriting a property sounds great, but co-owning in reality sucks balls.
I’ve seen it a lot here with family lake homes. Dad dies, leaves it to the kids. Kids don’t use it equally due to circumstances, one kid doesn’t want to chip in for the property taxes, someone wrecked the prop on the boat… blah blah blah.
Fuck it. I plan to liquidate all my shit and split the money between the kids.

*nods in agreement *
IMO, it’s something to have a conversation about. If kid 1 really loves the lake house and kid 2 doesn’t really care either way, give the lakehouse to kid 1 and give everything else to kid 2.
Worst case, if there are tensions, liquidate everything and cut a check to each of them (or to none of them if they’re being entitled assholes)
My father told me 30 years ago that his will says:
“Being of sound mind and body, I spent it all.”
Its still going to be a fucking $600,000 loan. Depending on the market, blah blah, a new nurse grad will be doing well indeed to make $60K a year. Her PITI on that house is probably going to be . . . $60K a year.
I guess she’s planning on renting part of it out?
re: Lake house
Back in the early 80s my parents built a beautiful log cabin on the shore of Lake Michigan and, as they got older, desperately wanted it to be passed on to my brothers and I. One lives in Canada and the other down in southern Indiana. Since I’m the closest I knew I would get stuck maintaining the house and it would be lucky if my brothers visited it once a year.
And then my oldest brother said he would love to retire there. He’s a doctor and fairly well off but I don’t think he quite understood that he would have to pay me and my other brother off. Anyways, it was a serious point of contention.
Thankfully the next door neighbor, who’s extremely wealthy, *bought the house, land, and garage for a lump cash sum. So that problem is gone. It took some convincing for my parents to move since my dad always said he was going to be carried out feet first from that house.
*two weeks after my parents moved out, the house was torn down. So the guy paid over a half-million $$ to buy a garage and an acre of land. Some people like their privacy.
LH: You dodged a bullet.
She must be a peach.
You would think that if her plan was sound, she might tell her co-owners/relatives “look, for for the next year how about I start paying you guys directly? That way we don’t lose money to the bank. When I get a real job, I will finance and pay you off”
The fact that she didn’t tells me that her relatives are pretty sure she is a credit risk.
No. And government will send you the bill when the economy collapses again…
Not yet, anyway.
That will be fixed by team Pelosi. Cause these young people deserve free shit.
Ah, back to the days when truck stop waitresses were buying three-quarter of a million dollar houses with ARMs. That ended well. didn’t it?

It’s not his chamber. It’s Nancy Pelosi’s chamber. He doesn’t get to dictate to Congress. I don’t like this at all
Maybe he’ll give the speech in an empty chamber, and send them a transcript?
Sounds like she already invited him and he confirmed. I’m not sure that counts as dictating.
If he’s dictating, it seems like he’s dictating to Nancy, mostly. But regardless, I kinda like the idea of Donald Trump turning Oliver Cromwell.
True, it’s the House Chamber and if the House doesn’t want him, they should rescind the invitation, and they must respect that. I have my doubts the House will actually go that far, though, because the Senate could then invite him to their Chamber, which, due to having a much smaller seating gallery, would require the exclusion of very many House members from the event.
He should do it from the roof of Trump Tower.

‘Beauty and the Beast’ producer apologizes for wishing Covington boys ‘into the woodchipper’
Back off, Woodchippers are a libertarians trademark. Liberals try to take everything. No comment yet from Preet.
At least it’s a more honest apology than most. He didn’t qualify it with a “but”.
Prediction: he will not throw his phone into the ocean and he will do it again.
CORRECT!
I’ve got to give the guy credit for this too. I don’t recall ever hearing anyone else in his position just flat out own their fuck up the way he did.
“It was just a fast, profoundly stupid tweet”
He had to go and locate an acceptable Fargo-inspired woodchipper image, download it, then click on the little picture box, upload the image to the tweet, type the 3 or 4 lines, and then hit tweet. Not that fast.
A man whose job it is to create children’s movies is apologizing for threatening the lives of children.
Fuck, most of Disney’s production teams are full-blown SJW’s, if not communists. I can’t imagine the echo chamber that must exist over there.
Disney did not respond to The Wrap’s request for comment.
Ten years ago I’d have said the guy’s career was over. Disney would not have been a company that would have any inclination to be associated with wishing for violence against children. The new woke Disney? I’m not placing any bets.

https://www.mediaite.com/columnists/the-entire-covington-catholic-story-shows-just-how-incredibly-stupid-our-media-culture-has-become/
FTA:
“The news media, of course, partly because there is no longer any time to allow for even the basic facts to come in and for a story to settle when there are trending topic clicks to chase, is the worst offender of interpreting events through the lens of their preferred narrative. To them, a few seconds of a white kid in a MAGA hat smirking at a Native American elder (who fought— not really –in Vietnam!), with his pro-life friends chanting and cheering him in the background, was all they needed to know to determine who were the good guys and the bad guys in this very minor dustup.
So, as they so often do, the Twitter mob and the news media (it is becoming very difficult to determine who is leading whom in these all-too-common situations) rushed to judgement and immediately set on destroying the lives of the kids from Covington Catholic, even causing the school to close out of security concerns.
Then, when further video provided more context for what really happened, making it clear that Phillips actually facilitated the stare-down, the media partly retreated, but without really admitting they were wrong, instead shifting the goalposts for why what the Covington kids had done was still egregious. After all, If there is one thing the news media despises more than anything (other than maybe covering actual hard news in a substantive manner) it is having to reverse a narrative they have fallen in love with, especially after they have already clearly chosen which the direction things were supposed to go.”
The dirtbags really showed themselves with this one.
Even National Review shat on the kids at first. Lowry needs to pen an apology to his readers for letting that one get published. Or he needs to be canned.
A whole bunch of the self-annointed right wing establishment did – the NR crowd, Hugh Hewitt, Ross Douthat, etc.
That douche Douthat is still trying to weasel his way out of the criticism by harping on how the kids shouldn’t have been wearing MAGA hats.
But pussy hats are totes cool?
Ross Douthat is probably already considered a Nazi by his peers for being Catholic. Now everyone knows he’s a coward too
Well, given how

OK, wearing a MAGA hat means you were asking for it. Now do women in short skirts.

Memo to libertarians who want to move on up in the world and write for the Atlantic, WaPo, etc: just write about libertarianish issues progressives already agree with. Drug war, incarceration, police misconduct, etc.
None of that pesky property rights or Fed stuff!
It’s like they are able to read ENB’s mind!
They were mainly trashing Balko
I meant the thought process, not the specific issues. Just replace “drug war, incarceration, police misconduct” with “sex workers and abortion”
Oh yeah. Absolutely. I just meant that the Mises crowd seems to regard ENB as such a joke that if they’re trashing the other side they don’t even mention her.
Can you blame them? She hangs with Jessica Valenti, who’s about two steps away from being a tankie.
To be fair, there’s enough bullshit in those topics to keep a battalion of jouralists employed gainfully and with a socially useful purpose 24/7 for a century. It’s just, you know, if you don’t want to get on property rights and culture war and free association and such, then don’t. You really don’t have to a Hot Take Of The Day for everything, especially if you’re just parroting the main line.
Yup. And stop actively supporting government efforts to impose a social agenda. When pro-life crisis pregnancy centers were being forced to post signs telling people about abortion by the State, the WokeHat defended the fucking STATE and TOS parroted that position. Same garbage is also pulled with state pee pee laws. TOS defended these laws against attempts by the state to repeal them.
Cosmos like to parrot that they’re “fiscally conservative and socially liberal”, but in reality they’re “fiscally incoherent and socially totalitarian”.
“Woke minds and intersectional solidarity”
If you understand that the allegiance of the conservative ink elites is towards the elites first and foremost, and to conservatism a far and distant tenth or less, you can clearly see why they are more peeved about things that piss off the elite class (and the left) than being conservative…
Someone else pointed out how their approach to any of these sort of narrative driven media stories was to simply wait for 2 days, or so, for the real facts to come out, as the facts would indubitably – based on precedent – end up showing the story was bullshit peddled by the usual suspects. I found it to be a great approach although I am going with the “I am going to bet the story is bullshit” as soon as I see these. So far I would not ever have to apologize for these media hacks being dnc shills and liars.

Mr. Morrissey, who has since set his Twitter account to private, told The Wrap that he now finds his comments “profoundly stupid.”
“I’m sorry you found out how much I hate the people who put bread on my table.”
Oops, did I say that out loud.
Not much of an apology actually.
Fuck me! How could we not consider how misconduct by journalists might be affecting journalists?
Wow…just wow.

Seriously, though, Robby is not letting this story go. That guy must be the most hated staff member at TOS right now. I bet ENB isn’t even talking to him and Gillespie is more bitchy than usual to him.
Who would have thought that Robby had the biggest balls of all those writers?
Maybe John McCain had his balls, too?
Well…..it’s not exactly overwhelming competition for that title, but yeah, good on him for sticking to it and not larding his posts with to-be-sures.
Yeah, I bagged on him, but his decision to say things no one was expecting him to say and then keep it at is admirable. I mean, he must know he’s doing damage to his long-term interests by doing so.
Oh, he’s fucked. All the woketarians hate him now too.
OK, so…. let’s say Pie has a nervous breakdown from running into The Hat giving into its basest desires or something.

“The real lesson of the Journolist scandal—don’t succumb to conservative reports about our Journolist scandal.”
Back in the good-old-days, journalism was just a slanted as today. But editor were in control of the process. “Journalists” wrote articles. “Editors” fixed them to fit in to the company point of view. Opinions were published by editors on a page dedicated to opinions. Journalist had to become pretty fucking famous before the were let off the reservation.
Now, every dipshit has a twitter account and posts whatever crap pops out at the spur of the moment.
I am officially an old man — I hate the consequences of the new-fangled toys the kids play with these days.
Oh eat a dick, Kirsten, you hack. God forbid the press should be held to any goddamned standards of accuracy or even human decency.
She’s in the dictionary under “dumb blonde”.
Ah, the classic “Republicans pounce” move:
(1) Democrat does something illegal/reprehensible/vile
(2) Republicans condemn Democrat
(3) News story: “Republicans Pounce”. Not “Democrat does something illegal/reprehensible/vile”.
See,
Traditional newspapers and magazines aren’t selling anymore. Most people are getting their news from an online source, which means journalists are writing to drive clicks to their sites. As we’ve learned from Twitter, one way to get a lot of clicks is to be outrageous and controversial. It’s “If it bleeds it leads” on steroids. They are no more victims than PT Barnum.
And now she claims she’s leaving Twitter…bahahaha
I suspect she’ll be back shortly.

Robby is getting red pilled so fast right now
Good for him for sticking with it. He’s getting a real taste of the lunacy now.
I hope he is. I really thought the young man’s heart was in the right place for a long time, and then he went through his to-be-sure period where he wouldn’t ever take a potentially unpopular position without hedging his bets. Good to see him seeing the reality that the left really is insane and lefty DC journolists aren’t really his friends.
He’s torching his career right now.
Meh. There seem to be a fair share of journalists making a living outside of progressive media.
Yeah, the respectable ones.
The vast majority of the media is “progressive media” to one degree or the other. Robby’s consigning himself to outlets like the Federalist. He’ll never be published by the likes of the NYT or the Atlantic now.
The Trump Internet pounced.
I take this to mean that the msm was called on their bullshit. They keep this crap up and I am re-doing my whole wardrobe in MAGA gear just as a middle finger to these lying sob’s.
This @washingtonpost story captures the real lesson of this episode—don’t succumb to orchestrated harassment campaigns against journalists.
LOLWUT?
If there’s like, a mailing list or something that I could get on to be informed of orchestrated harassment campaigns against journalists, that would be awesome.
I see what you did there!
Hence “Is it OK to punch a journalist?”
Which is a serious question that should be asked. If you were a white Christian male from a rural part of America and a reporter approached you, you should know that they are there to destroy you. They don’t like you. And they’ll never tell the truth about you. So, I think it’s difficult to argue that you would not be justified in assuming ill intent and using force to repel them.
Indeed, they have already committed violence against you (by their own definition).
No shit. Wasn’t it just a few weeks ago that some complete hack from Der Spiegel decided to defame an entire Minnesota town in a global publication?
I wish someone would orchestrate a harassment campaign against journalists just so we’d all know what it looks like. As it is you just have to assume they’d be ambushed in a restaurant and heckled on camera.
Yes. “Dox journos”. Why hasn’t 4chan done this?
If I remember right from GamerGate, “harassment” means “they criticized me”, “death threat” is “fuck off a die” and “doxxing” is always done offline with no evidence.
Well, “Trump’s Internet pouncing” seems to mean people calling members of the media out for continuing to push a narrative not supported by visual evidence, apparently.
God dammit, why are Trump supporters still allowed on the internet?! I thought we banned all those gun-toting snake-flagging troglodyte fucks!

They really can’t help themselves, can they?
In a tweet sent Tuesday night, the left-leaning outlet insinuated that a gay student was banned from speaking at the school’s graduation because he was gay.
“A gay student who was barred by the Covington diocese from speaking at his 2018 graduation, is ‘not surprised’ by the Covington Catholic High School video,” NBC News tweeted.
The headline for the article, clearly meant to suggest the school is anti-gay, reads: “Gay valedictorian banned from speaking at Covington graduation ‘not surprised’ by D.C. controversy.” This headline actually makes the tweet look more accurate.
Others, including Federalist contributor Chad Felix Greene (who also happens to be gay), quickly noted how misleading the story was, as the student was not banned for speaking because he was gay. “He submitted the speech too late and it was too political for the venue,” Greene wrote.
lso, the student did not even graduate from Covington Catholic – he was the valedictorian from Holy Cross High School. The only thing tying the two schools together is that they are overseen by the Diocese of Covington in Kentucky.
So, basically, NBC found a student from another school to trash Covington Catholic, and insinuated that somehow Covington is anti-gay.
In the second paragraph of the NBC article, they note the student is from a different school, but go on to refer to Holy Cross as “the Covington school.”
In the fourth paragraph, NBC mentions that the student, Christian Bales, “said at the time that he was unsure whether his sexual orientation played a role” in the decision not to allow his speech. The Diocese also barred a speech from the student council president, who doesn’t appear to be gay.
“I honestly have no idea, because what I’ve been taught about the Catholic faith is that it’s about love and tolerance and acceptance of all people,” Bales said at the time.
I encourage everyone to look at Rico Soave’s Twitter page. The guy is losing his mind as media outlets continue to push anecdotes that are clearly contradicted by video. He’s getting red pilled so hard right now. It’s hilarious.

Jesus, he needs to stop. He’s reaching “set yourself on fire in protest” stage.
But that would require me to sign up for Twitter, and then learn how to read through their insane threading. Ain’t nobody got time for that shite.
You don’t have to sign-up. I don’t have any social media. You just google the name and it’s usually the first thing that pops up
Ah, but I aggressively block any and all scripts, images, and all that from all social media sites. It’s amazing how much faster the web pages load, and less ads get loaded on pages.
If you’re using Adblock Plus, just add Fanboy’s Social Blocking List to your filters. With NoScript you just have to get in the habit of whitelisting scripts selectively instead of all for a site.
None of that prevents you from going to Twitter and reading what’s there (or clicking the many links provided by various nitwits here).
I do all that and I don’t have a Twitter account, and I can still read everything I choose to there. Which is very little, to be sure.
“to be sure”
Rhywun is Soave!
True, but I get shunted to “Legacy Twitter”, and then all I see is the one single Tweet that’s been linked. If it’s a video, I just get a static image (if that).
OK one difference is I am using Fanboy’s Annoyance List. Maybe the Social Blocking List does something extra. If I deliberately go to Twitter I don’t see a need to block myself from seeing it.
It’s probably more about the NoScript, I’ve got all of the Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. scripts blocked.
Oh shit yeah I don’t use NoScript either 🙂
I used to, but I found it to be a hassle.
It’s like he’s Tim Robbins towards the end of Jacob’s Ladder, like right before he starts to get it.
Welcome aboard, Rico.
To be sure.
Reading through there I saw another account that linked this video for instructional purposes. I have never seen that video before – why not? It involves smug white kids disrespecting and harassing an “elder”!
It occurs to me that there’s a reason that the left media cannot admit they were wrong.
When someone on the right or in a politically disfavored group apologizes, the left (and particularly the media) accept their apology as a bloody totem of victory. Which they then use to beat the apologizers with over the remaining course of their career.
The leftist media cannot admit they were wrong and apologize because they view that as suicide. They would give no quarter, why would anyone else give it to them?
Power is the sine qua non of leftism. They are crazed in pursuit of it and will do or say anything, absolutely anything no matter how vile, to seize it. Admitting to mistakes in judgment and apologizing isn’t in their interests because it makes them look weak, and thus impedes their pursuit of power over everyone else.
It’s now attritional warfare. They’re hoping they can make normies go “you know, fuck the kids, fuck the Indians, fuck them all, I’m sick of it”.
OT: Paulina Porizkova is back on the market.
BEST! TIMELINE!
Also dibs, I called it square.

I was going to add “No one go and get arrested over this” but I see that would’ve been fruitless.
I’m sure Scruffy has a MAGA hat to plant to show how violent Pan Zagloba was.
He smirked at me.
*reads Paulina’s twitter feed*
Nevermind, you can keep her. Good luck with that.
+1 Show me a beautiful woman I’ll show you a man sick of her shit.
Down that path lies madness and Rex Harrison.
