Why didn't you use the pic with the smiling haberdasher? Looks so serious.

And this was fake:

So was this!

There's a difference between "fake" and "wrong."  The Tribune edition was released deliberately, and was just wrong.  The Clinton issue was never supposed to be released (there was a corresponding Trump edition, and the version that was to be released would be the one that was correct) and was released by mistake.  It wasn't wrong, per se, it was just released in a clerical mixup.  Neither was "fake."  The Trumpeters do so love that word, though, don't they?

Including Germany, Saudi Arabia and South Korean that haven't had a US ambassador for the duration of the trump period.

The new US ambassador to Spain took his post less than a month ago, after a year of vacancy.

Spain >>>> Germany  :showoff:

I like the notion of Trump getting a massive protest each anniversary that he is in power.

What's the reason for this? Some of those seem the kind of post you can give to a donor, but the rest probably need an actual diplomat, due to the lack of attractiveness of the place or its geopolitical importance (SA, Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Germany).

Should put a competent ambassador in Germany to help negotiate the bilateral trade treaty.

Despite the caterwalling about capitulation in some corners in the net, I think this a pretty good compromise.

The Dems get CHIP funded for six years in return for a three week spending bill. If the GOP refuses to pass DACA legislation the Dems will just shut it down again in February.

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.

The Minsky Moment

I'm glad there's a deal, hope it sticks.  I don't agree with holding the entire federal gov't hijack, regardless of who does it.

I'm kinda tired of the party of honorable losers.
