Quoting ruth02-at-web.de (ruth02-at-web.de):
> Ruben, is Rick M proud his girlfriend is in widespread news ? ? My wife, who is the only person who could qualify as my girlfriend for the past seventeen years, is not in the news.
ruth02, we haven't heard from you in quite a long time. Did RT have you on furlough? ;->
About the bizarre news item of the other day, I said (othernet):
Quoting James H.G. Redekop (james.hg.redekop at gmail.com):
> What was going on in 1992 that someone named their kid "Reality > Winner"?
I don't know, but I think we owe them retrospective thanks for putting a maraschino cherry on yesterday's sundae of news craziness.
In other recent news (all in a single day!):
1. In an obviously sad attempt to audition for Bond villain, Eric Trump turns out to have stolen from his kids' cancer charity to fund his business.
2. A bunch of major law firms have refused to represent His Orangeness concerning the Russia scandal, for the simple reason that they also represent banks that have been served subpeonas concerning Trump and money-laundering, as Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe gets going.
3. Sessions offered to resign as AG. Trump was angry at him for being unable to block the Russia investigation because of, y'know, ethics rules and having been caught lying during his confirmation hearings (and then a second time in his amended testimony after that), and facing probable upcoming criminal prosecution. Trump's USPTO Director Michelle Lee resigned. Trump continues to have trouble filling posts for the simple reason that people don't wish to board a ship taking on water so badly.
4. Turns out, Trump Winery held a banquet (a 'Russian Gala') honoring Ambassador Kislyak. Which I'm sure is just because he's a swell fella.
5. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats confirmed that Trump asked him to kill the Russia investigation.
All of that came out just in a single day, yesterday.
As I have said before, I seriously do _not_ want this bunch of clowns to resign or get removed from office. What would we do for entertainment?
