Whoever it was, it's the first whistle blower from this administration that wasn't using a dog whistle.

McGahn has already been fired.
By tweet.
I've done ok. I'm now the CFO of a midsize company and been in management since the early 00s. I've had to let people go - sometimes because of their performance and sometimes because of broader corporate issues. In either case, I've always felt respecting the impacted person's dignity important enough to speak with them personally. I'll go out on a limb that their accomplishments likely fell short of some one ascending to a senior White House role. But paying a basic level of respect to someone who's life is being upended seemed appropriate.
Among the many things I find fault with in the current administration, the lack of basic respect for personal dignity often rises near the top of the list. Both in its cowardly contrast to the blustering bravado and in its insensitivity to the impacted person and their families.
tl/dr: fuck the chickenshit way djt handles business

Per the NYT Tweet on it:
"... a senior Trump administration official says he and others are working to frustrate the president's misguided impulses." So we maybe can cross off one suspect.

Pepsico/ Frito Lay running a campaign celebrating Hillary could do more to reverse America's obesity crisis than decades of public education and nutritional guidance.

Regarding Nike's cost benefit analysis, my first thought was this is a bold move that might eat into shareholder value. Then I realized they'd upset trumpkins which, by the eyeball test, aren't the biggest consumers of fitness apparel or sporting goods. And when they do, their more likely in the Russell Athletic segment. Feels like a safer mover than initially perceived.

Vermouth upgrades are under appreciated.
Dolins sweet is my go to. Cocchi Torino is a second but it's flavor is more like Carpano Antiqua which I find can be overpowering in Manhattans (but others generally regard it as the gold standard). Bonus on Dolins is most HEBs sell in a 375. Vermouth spoils so that helps limit the time a bottle is open.
Cocchi Americano is my preferred dry vermouth. Yet to find a close second. Works great in martinis and perfect manhattans.

The tax bill was sold as instant pass-through for labor. Remember all of the attribution of the bonuses to the tax bill?
The bonuses were accelerated because their value as a tax deduction was more under the higher 2017 rates than the lower 2018 rates. I’d bet many people didn’t get more they just got it earlier.

Trump invoked Pearl Harbor during meeting with Japanese prime minister
President Trump invoked the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor during a heated meeting earlier this year with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
"I remember Pearl Harbor," Trump, who was born four and a half years after the attack, said, according to the newspaper, before railing against Japan's economic policies.
The comments reportedly came during a June 7 meeting in which Trump and Abe discussed trade and North Korea. The two men met after Trump had imposed steep steel and aluminum tariffs on Japan and other U.S. allies, and just days before the U.S. president traveled to Singapore to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Japan's trade minister, Hiroshige Seko, said last week that Tokyo might retaliate if Trump follows through with the tariffs.
http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/403985-trump-invoked-pearl-harbor-during-tense-meeting-with-japanese-prime“It's not a tragedy,” said Trump. “It was a tragedy because it was ambushed. I like like bases that weren’t ambushed.”

Absolutely. They need to be completely driven out from the rest of decent, civilized society. They are completely worthless and aren’t coming back anyway. If you have an employee that is a Trumpkin, fire them. If you have some of them in your family, cut off all contact. Let them know why. If that means your parents don’t see or talk to their grandkids anymore, tough luck. Those are the consequences of despicable thinking and actions. If you have “friends” that are Trumpkins, completely disconnect and let them know you have no room in your life for morally bankrupt supppoters of treason. Find better friends. Fuck all the “well, they’re good people other than the fact that they’re big Trump supporters.” Guess what, they’re not. By definition.

One of the more incredible aspects of trumpism is the ability of one of the most privileged demographics in the world (white American men) being able to convince themselves their being collectively victimized and rallying around that notion.

You talking about this one?
seems like he doesn't understand that paying for a campaign expense from personal funds without reporting the expenditure IS in fact a campaign finance violation. Isn't this straight up an admission of guilt?
It's just sementics.

Can speak from experience Twin in Kingwood is pretty meh. If your up for a drive go to Liquor Cabinet on Mills Branch. They've got at least 10 bottles of Harper 15 on the shelf and an ample supply of Balcones True Blue Cask Strength. Usually a few other interesting bottles as well. I stop by frequently and that's where I've stocked up on ECBP, RY10 and M10 in the last few months. And if you're making the trip also try Pascals on Northpark. They've got a solid collection as well and occasionally some 4RSB private selections from other stores or restaurants. Good luck

When you confuse folks, and when you bring in so many elements, you risk each of those elements turning off this or that group of people.

My dad -- a Texan long resident in Tennessee -- has always been amazed at how cheap Tennessee politicians are to buy.
"Mr Governor, my son needs a pardon. He didn't mean to shoot that clerk at the Kwik Mart."
"Hmmm...Murder is a serious crime, but you boy's prison record is mighty fine, and he's been in a whole two years now..."
"Yes sir, Mr Governor..."
"But murder is murder, and I've got bills to pay. It's gonna set you back some, but we'll get your boy out if you are willing to play ball..."
"Anything Mr Governor..."
"Alright then. $50. Cash. Unmarked bills."

You can interview 10 people on the street and you'd get 10 different definitions of patriotism. Is it exercising your Constitutional right to vote? Is it public service? Is it military service? Is it wrapping yourself in the American flag so no one sees your bone spurs? Maybe its wearing your American flag bikini to the bitch. Guess that makes it undefinable.
Like most things it doesn’t have to be defined to be identifiable.

If Jim Acosta and all the other shitslingers at CNN think Trump is trying to destroy the press they should take their act to Cuba or Iran and see what happens to them under a regime that does not have a First Amendment. It wouldn't be their feelings that would be getting hurt.
So we are fine as long as there is an example elsewhere that is as bad or worse. That's a hell of a standard.
