Don’t binge. Take a weekend to cleanse with something light like Wag the Dog.
We’ve actually not seen Wag the Dog. Also, this is a rewatch so we’re fine binging.

The wire was originally aired non hd, partly why it looks cheap in the new HD version.

Jesus, Microsoft, stop trying to make binging a thing!
I was talking more about sheer moral disillusionment and despair, rather than production values. Also, it’s not a linear path backward in time – the West Wing had good lighting. So did The Outer Limits!
Even if The Wire is SD, it is still good stuff.
Oh nbcnews.com, have you learned nothing at all?
The headline:
Trump’s Salary Will Be Donated at the End of the Year, Says Sean Spicer
What Spicer actually said:
“the president’s intention right now is to donate his salary at the end of the year.”
Anyone who speaks even the smallest amount of Trump knows the factual translation of this is, “This will never, ever happen.”
(See: all those contractors Trump stiffed.)

Best case scenario: He donates it to…
drum roll
The Trump Foundation.
Oh but he is shutting it down. Of course it is under investigation and can’t be shut down yet. Which I guess Trump donate his salary to the foundation. Which could spend money on lawyers to make sure that none of the foundations double dealings see the light of day.
But honestly he’ll probably just take the salary and never donate it. Cause fuck rules
Lawrence O’Donnell pointed out that if he actually donates it, he’ll deduct it and ultimately cost the American tax payers more.
So basically, the money is just resting in his account?
It doesn’t really matter. Every weekend trip to Florida is costing millions (not to mention the cost to the city unlucky enough to have this piece of shit human being living there.)
And no doubt his own business is profiting directly from those trips, in billing taxpayers for accommodation for his retinue.

Is the IRS audit of his taxes done yet? Can we call him on that so that he can weasel out of releasing them again? Hmm, weasel is a good nickname for him, the orange weasel…

Nah. You’re doing a disservice to the honest, hard working weasels out there. That’s why I prefer the more fantastic nicknames. Like Cheeto Jesus.

Walking back the wiretapping accusation now, when will there be meaningful consequences for this fucker?
When his beef-clogged ticker takes its final licking and not before.
I was wondering if Obama had grounds to sue for defamation of character or something, at this point. I’m guessing not, though.
