The Lies they tell

Makes it seem like a Trump appointee is some kind of free loading big spender, right?

They were purchased by the Obama administration, however.

Amazing.

No idea. Seems like they may be more than just curtains. When they spoke of them being motorized so they could close quickly as she has only one part time staff member. Maybe they are Kevlar or have some security function.

It’s fair to say that this story was not a great one from a journalistic integrity perspective. The facts were right but the conclusions were wrong and it still should be investigated. And given the massive corruption of this White House it’s no surprise as such, but they got this wrong. Glad the NYT fixed the reporting. They fucked up.

Lies spread around the world before the truth gets its pants on.

Saw another article today basically talking about how an unhinged Trump could launch nukes. As if the guy who has taken more steps to broker peace with those who would incite such a war is the issue.

Saw a leaked video of Google's executives having a butthurt meeting with their employees about how terrible it is that Trump was elected. Pretty odd meeting to have for a supposedly unbiased search engine. Uh-huh...

They were afraid because they suddenly did not have the power players in their pocket.

No. Those white dudes at a boardroom level are 100% not messing with an algorithm that took years to develop and which is hugely complex and works really well.

Oh well, as long as you promise. :P

It’s a complex algorithm not just something you can tinker with for fun.
