I live on an island. My office is a green dome. All day I'm extracting information from difficult people. I really just want a g&t and to be entertained.
As the dumpster fire that is L.A. city politics burns on.... what I really want to know is not who leaked the #NuryMartinez audio but whether we're going to see #CecilyStrong of @nbcsnl kill it in the sendup sketch.
@lenalwilson Even if you took her far-fetched, wildly improbable and derogatory comment at face value, it's fascinating she thinks you were objectifying exclusively her. Because who else would you be watching? I might be wrong but there were other performers in the film right?
@DashDobrofsky Trump made open bigotry acceptable. The GOP's been confronted by outrage before. It doesn't faze them. MTG built a whole career persona out of parroting the worst party lines. There's no incentive for her to stop. They'll only stop when Dems start beating them at their own game.
@DrDebraSoh You went from being a scientist advocating for science to a tweet-baiter. I liked you better when you stuck to the facts instead of playing to the culture wars audience. Yawn.
@yellowdalias This is a weak take at best on that. You don't see anyone gunning to work with Depp either. These two have themselves to blame for trashing each other's career. That WB didn't want a big budget summer movie to get dragged down by the bad aftertaste of the trial makes total sense.
@maxwellreeds Think of it like this.... her intergrity and the integrity of her future work product has been thrown under the bus. She might as well be driving the bus. The fact she's handled being caught the way she had, she might as well have backed the bus over them too.
@maxwellreeds High profile plagiarism like high profile bogus journalism never ends well for the writer. Only extreme narcissism would lead one to try to hoodwink a crowd repurposing a speech. This is going to follow her around like a bad drunken tweet rant.
@levine2001@RickCarusoLA The only way Rick Caruso can do what he wants to do is if he can pull off the equivalent of a Mike Bloomberg. Unfortunately because of the dysfunctional set up of shared power between the mayor, city council, and the board of supervisors, I'm skeptical he can pull it off.
Biden's called this a partisan hit job. If that's the case then you better lay the blame at the feet of โฆโฆ@NYMagโฉ and their right-wing in-depth expose on this back in December. Please. Garcetti should have been dumped back then. https://t.co/9CMh7Keu0M
@alicetweet@donlemon @DonLemonTonight @KirstenPowers Let's burn down the house to save the couch. Getting Roe overturned at any cost is smug elitist trash. Women will be forced to have kids but you don't care what happens after. What are you doing to improve the lives of kids flooding our foster care & adoption system? No-thing.
@ggreenwald That you won't consider the same playbook orchestrated to dismantle Roe v. Wade being used on issues like gay marriage or lgbt discrimination seems just a bit disingenuous.
@mattgaetz coming from someone who likely had their dates--correction: underage, out of state, dates--procured by your pilfering failed local pol friend, this is rich. even richer considering you prob prefer the houseboy. ๐ธ
@sullydish@levine2001 That's the same right-wing playbook that's equating your community with being groomers and pedophiles, and having quite a lot of fun with that. But please do continue with your witty "libfails" while the right rampages on. Just want to freshen my drink first.
@sullydish@levine2001 I'm waiting for the Andrew Sullivan of the 90s and 00s to re-emerge when the same right-wing playbook to overturn Roe v Wade sets its sights on gay marriage and 14th Amendment lgbt discrimination protections. Hope you have a few pithy tweets ready then. ๐ธ
@PalmerReport@thearkansasleft To belittle people who lean democratically on social issues but would like to see more fiscal discipline when it comes to how programs are run is just another way to push people out of the tent and to another extreme. Keep feeding tribalism.
@PalmerReport@thearkansasleft I've worked in the non-profit sector & seen the positives of social benefit programs but also the negatives of those gaming the system, wasteful spending, and millions of taxpayer dollars down a black hole (how's LA doing with all that spending on solving homelessness?).
