@MZHemingway You are a lost cause. Now defend him for constantly picking on women about their weight and appearance. He has literally said — many times — he would not have raped a woman because she’s not attractive enough. Go ahead, defend him.

Genuinely don't understand why left-wing media are upset at comparison of Kaitlin Collins to Dylan Mulvaney. If, as they have always asserted, Dylan Mulvaney isn't just a woman ("trans women are women") but a spokesmodel, where *EXACTLY* is the insult from their perspective?

@BuildAfterWork No sympathy here. Servers/waiters are underpaid and never go through a shift without some kind of verbal abuse. Always tip 15% of the total bill, 20% or more for good service. If 15% is included, pay it and add another 5% or 10% if service is good.

Sábado 1pm, restaurante lleno a reventar. Pido la cuenta y viene un cargo extra que no esperaba: “servicio 15%, es obligatorio, señor.” La mesera lo dice de memoria, como a todas las mesas. Alrededor, la gente paga sin chistar. No me niego a dejar propina. Solo abro una foto en mi teléfono, la giro hacia ella, y le pregunto una cosa…

@marceelias No self-respecting news organization would allow its employees to attend an event like that.

The legacy media is reconsidering the White House Correspondence dinner because Trump insulted them. What they don't get is that they insulted their viewers and readers by attending it. Support independent media that doesn't suck up to Trump whether he is nice to them or not it.

@JamieFinance25 Might work but don’t compare your house to stocks. Stocks are an investment. You can’t live in them, raise a family in them. Houses are not an investment. They are places to live.

I'm going hell for leather to pay off my mortgage early. I hear people saying it's the wrong thing to do because I can make more in the stock market. But has anyone actually paid off their mortgage and felt regret about it?

@NateSilver538 It’s the opposite. He’s moving politics to gold leaf, ballrooms, fountains, etc.

It's kind of striking how, apart from Iran, most of the Trump-related stories this summer have been boring and dumb (reflection pool, White House Correspondents' Dinner) or kind of funny (FIFA), maybe we're moving on from him being the central figure in American politics.

I don't know who wrote @POTUS's routine for the WHCA dinner last night but it had all the lightness, hilarity and good humor of Stephen Miller's American Carnage inaugural speech.

@brianstelter You think? Trump has broken every norm of adult and political behavior. Yet the media still treats him as a normal human. Why?

"Time to rethink the dinner," the NYT's chief WH correspondent says:
Peter Baker@peterbakernyt

Have been a member of the @whca almost continuously since the 1990s. Our mission is to defend the First Amendment rights of White House correspondents to report on the president without fear or favor. Unfortunately last night did not advance that cause. Time to rethink the dinner.

Unpopular opinion: Golf has never had its Field of Dreams. We have great golf movies. We have funny golf movies. We have cult classics. But we’ve never gotten the truly great, emotional, transcendent golf movie that becomes bigger than the sport itself. We’re overdue.

@UtdMaI I’m glad Argentina’s thuggery is getting so much attention, it helps me deal with post-World Cup withdrawal.

The Argentine national team embodies everything ugly about modern football… toxic fanaticism, unbearable arrogance, verbal and physical intimidation, constant disrespect for opponents, an inability to lose with dignity, and a relentless willingness to use theatrics, provocation and deception for the slightest advantage.

Jay Leno says he made $30,000,000 a year hosting The Tonight Show and never spent a single dollar of it. ​“I was making 30 million a year and NBC said, ‘Well, we’re gonna have to cut half the crew.’ So we had a big meeting and I said, ‘How many feel I should take a 50% pay cut so we can keep everybody?’” ​“I already have $15 million. I’m doing pretty good, you know? I never thought I’d get this far.” ​“I always lived on the money I made as a stand-up... I wanted to be a comedian. I never thought TV was a job that would last your whole life.” ​“I never touched any of it. I always worked.”

@rlocker12 100%. Though in fairness to Trump, these deals are never about what’s in it for the US. They’re always about the side deal, the hustle, the bribe, the grift, the payoff to his kids. I’m sure this is a great deal for the Trump family.

@chocoylatine I hate the move of falling on the ball. It’s the star playing referee. I’d like to see an SEC ref tell him, “Son, that’s a handball.”

@ShaneRyanHere Not sure how to say this, but … golf humor is politically incorrect. It just is. Trust me. And that’s Hollywood’s biggest blind spot — good old fashioned politically incorrect comedy. So they can’t make a funny golf show.

I'll watch any golf comedy anybody makes, part out of interest but more and more out of obligation. Watching the first five minutes of "The Hawk" this morning, I'd heard it was bad, but they've done something I didn't think possible—they made something worse than "Stick"
