    I realise it wasn’t in the news today, but readers will be delighted to learn that President Trump played a round of golf with Rory McIlroy on Sunday, and apparently shot around 80, which is pretty crash hot for a 70 year old!

    [lprent: I will remove that link. I really cannot express how distasteful I find that site to be. After reading just a few articles from it, I have come to the conclusion that it is the definitive site for never letting a lack of fact get in the way of a bad story. In fact I think that I will add it to auto-spam. ]

      Larry Wilmore is a legend. God I wish he had a regular show on TV again.

    • Macro 1.2

      Yep! He’s doing great!

      How Trump spent his first month in office, by the numbers.
      Golf: 25 hours.
      Tweeting: 13 hours.
      Intelligence briefings: 6 hours.

      No wonder he has to be the greatest ignoramus in the White House – ever. SO SAD.

      • Richard McGrath 1.2.1

        Yes but his golf game is improving, which is the really important thing.

          Meant to ask Richard, now you linking to breitbart does that mean you are a pedo? Or just a bigot? So much for you vaunted libertarianism, ah. Now you alt-right.

            FFS Adam that’s a pretty long bow you’ve drawn. Your comment is laughable. It’s like me asking whether you are a spammer because you use the internet.

            • adam 1.2.1.1.1.1

              You did put up a link to breitbart, it is a site which openly pushes bigotry. Most of the libertarians I speak to, if not all, are are opposed to this type of attack on the individual. They support the rights of the individual.

              Do I need to reiterate that the day you put the link up, the most outspoken and controversial figure on breitbart, openly admits his support for pedophilia.

              So silly question, why did you do it? The link, that is. Because it seems rather foolish, if not down right creepy, to a casual observer.

              • Richard McGrath

                You’re entitled to your opinion. The story I linked to was unrelated to the activities of Milo Yiannopoulos – it was about Trump’s golf game. If anything is creepy, it’s you turning the subject of the thread into a discussion on pedophilia.

    • Richard McGrath 1.3

      Actually I agree with your comment – there is a lot of shit on that website. But that particular story brought a smile on!

    lprent just edited a comment and the side bar came up with what to my very untrained eye looked like computer code , my comment was part of it

      Richard McGrath has 4 comments close to, 2 pink gravatar and 2 different green.
      Full of rubbish. Daily review should have interesting summaries, his are silly opinions and what score Trump got in golf. Where’s Dan the banning man? Or the limiting of fast-shooting to allow the ‘brain’ to cool down before it overheats and implodes?

    Just noticed in the picture at the top of this thread, the guy in the red shirt in the foreground looks like the Screaming Skull, a.k.a. John Minto.

    I’m almost sorry it’s 18 minutes long, but this is MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow in such fine form, linking most of the Russia-Trump Campaign people and pieces together about as directly as you can without actual Court prosecutions going on:

    This woman loves her job, and she’s clearly good at it.

    Thoroughly enjoyable.
