Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

Today's #HalloweenRecs is dumb, but in the best way. Deep Rising is about a group of mercenaries who plan to hijack a cruise ship, only to find a sea monster got to it first. It's like Aliens and Resident Evil on a boat, from the director of the Mummy, and you can totally see that same charm in here

Just for the avoidance of doubt, this is inexcusably racist and a sin against God.

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Seriously it makes the whole act of making it feel pointless cause like if it's just for me...I mean that already exists in my head perfectly, if no one is gonna bother to look at it too might as well have just thrown in the dumpster upon completion

I don’t think ppl understand the whole “who cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive
Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

The plot of the next Simpsons movie should be the kids at Springfield Elementary digging up a time capsule that was buried 40 years ago and realizing they're the same children who buried it because their world hasn't aged in 4 decades.

One week into Halloween Season, so here's your reminder that I wrote a slasher novel about teenagers trying to pull a quick heist who find a masked killer waiting in the basement of a mansion.

It's fun, it's scary, and it needs a good home.

Most shipheads stand upright in a human-like posture, but when designing an aircraft carrier shiphead this can be a challenge. The Graf Zeppelin used a stooped configuration first developed for the Panzerblitzechse II to increase its launch deck length.

Today's #HalloweenRecs is Hush. It's a home invasion thriller about a deaf writer who is confronted by a sadistic killer and now she must think of a way to beat him. Kate Siegel gives a great performance and makes Maddie an amazing horror protag, and it's one of the first films from Mike Flanagan

Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

This is just the hard transition from the Honeymoon phase to the "We're mallrats in a mall that hates us" phase. We don't leave because security wants us to leave, they can eat a dick. We leave when the Hot Topic and Sarku Japan close
