I have moved the comments to Disqus. This allows you to edit your comments after you have posted them and should speed up resources a bit. Some people hate Disqus, some people don’t. We’ll see how it works for a week or so. I’m really not happy with the current commenting system and hope this improves performance.
I’ve set it to allow guest comments so people don’t have to log on if they don’t desire to do so.
Okay, this is like my favorite thread ever!!, so I wanted to see what it would look like merged with a Ken Burns-ish voice reading. pic.twitter.com/E2frNNahFH

So this presidency is so toxic that when Trump announces that he won’t attend an event, the board exhales a deep sigh of relief and releases a statement saying, “Phewwwwwwww!”:
The chairman and president of the Kennedy Center said they were “grateful for this gesture” after it was announced President Trump and First Lady Melanie Trump would not attend the Kennedy Center Honors in December.
“The Kennedy Center respects the decision made today by the office of the president of the United States,” chairman David M. Rubenstein and president Deborah F. Rutter said in a joint statement.
“In choosing not to participate in this year’s Honors activities, the administration has graciously signaled its respect for the Kennedy Center and ensures the Honors gala remains a deservingly special moment for the honorees. We are grateful for this gesture,” they said.
The Kennedy Center also confirmed that the annual reception held at the White House would not take place this year.
The White House announced early Saturday that Trump and the First Lady would be skipping the honors to avoid “political distraction.”
It’s Friday night. It has been a long week. I have no idea what Bannon is even talking about. Seriously, what?
“The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over,” Bannon said Friday, shortly after confirming his departure. “We still have a huge movement, and we will make something of this Trump presidency. But that presidency is over. It’ll be something else. And there’ll be all kinds of fights, and there’ll be good days and bad days, but that presidency is over.”
Bannon says that he will return to the helm of Breitbart, the rambunctious right-wing media enterprise he ran until joining the Trump campaign as chief executive last August. At the time, the campaign was at its nadir, and Trump was trailing Hillary Clinton in the polls by double digits.
