I hate to unpin this, so I'll have it as a post quote: As evolutionary theorists David Sloan Wilson and Edward O. Wilson puts it: “Selfishness beats altruism within groups. Altruistic groups beat selfish groups. Everything else is commentary.” democracyjournal.org/magazine/mar...

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

What soaring rhetoric!

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

House Judiciary Democrats released a 50-page report accusing Trump of participating in Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal sex schemes & the cover-up by DOJ under Todd Blanche. There is nothing more deep state than Republicans covering for a pedophile. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

The Trump administration's $25bn Polar LNG project on Alaska's North Slope will be turned over to a Kremlin proxy, the Financial Times and New York Times report, quoting former Exxon executives. For Alaska voters, this is the big October surprise as they head for the polls.

Trying to cook up a Reichstag Fire? We've had a Reichstag Tire Fire for at least two years, and maybe six. It is testament to our willful ignorance as a society and the sheer inertia of our institutions. Hell, we already have concentration camps...

Everyone knows he’s trying to cook up a Reichstag Fire to screw with the midterms. This wretched diaper loading sack of insufferableshit.

So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.
