I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I am sure the Trump Hotel in DC could offer better, more appropriate catering.

I wonder what goes through the heads of White House staff when they arrange this. "Hey, this is funny!" or "Dear lord, kill me now?"

On this hamburger incident you can see proof that not only he is dumb, he is the kind of stupid who refuses to acknowledge that he might not be the best judge of every situation.

Surely somebody mentioned -if they still dare at this point- that they could might as well order some actual food proper to serve on even a casual dinner occasion. But no. He wanted to welcome common people and common people obviously dine on hamburgers.

Reminds me of the You Rang M'Lord? episode where the aristrocratic British family decides to invite a few workers from ther factory for supper. The workers for the whole week dream about the kind of feast they are going to have (the kind of feast the aristocrats do eat every evening), but the aristocrat family's head decide they need to show they know the working class, so they order fish and chips and beer for dinner.

He owns a fucking international hotel just a couple of blocks away. He could have had the chefs there cook and then overcharged the government for it. He is too stupid to even grift properly.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Government is shut down.  I thought the whole point of this little stunt was that Trump was personally paying for the fast food.

Makes even more sense to have his own hotel cook it up.

"This is what I fought the Civil War for??"

"Looks like the South finally regrouped and took Washington."
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

It's a bunch of college athletes... I doubt they were looking forward to poached salmon and asparagus.  The menu was probably a welcome surprise for them.

The President's tackiness and boorishness is almost a relief compared to his actual attempts to govern.

I've never seen any pics from the King of Sweden's annual dinner for the Nobel laureates. Maybe he serves fast food.

Probably lutefisk and smorgastorta

Uhm, there's a few black players right at the start.

Clearly some black players came. I don't see a group shot so it is hard to tell if any boycotted.
