You know what is nice. I wasn’t partaking of a liquid refreshment when I refreshed the TPM page. Bullet missed.

I don’t know but I’d think that at some point they’d do like McDonald’s—stop trying to keep track and just say “billions and billions.”

Trump gives up a pound of flesh in hope that is as deep as the media looks.

“Aged well.” Yep. Still in diapers.

Naw. That it happened so early in the morning means that there’s another, bigger piece of news that’ll drop later, possibly two pieces, that’ll wipe Acosta off the headlines and bury him in the back of the newspaper.

Yes, certainly at some point in the day some damaging, inane, monumental FAIL will cross the transom that this termination would have served to confuse and distract everyone. What a waste of good firing.

I am not sure if it’s actually good news, many republicans were unhappy with Acosta because he wasn’t “deregulating” fast enough, now Trump is going to name an union-breaking thug as “acting” Labor Secretary and we will be worse off.

Not that I’m disappointed but, honestly, nothing was more predictable.

Wake me when he’s charged with something.

Or at least commits seppuku.
