Mnuchin in trouble for taking a picture.

No idea why anyone cares aside from partisan politics. It's not like they then take the money home.

However, I'm posting this because of his wife. Look at her. No way does that guy get her without his money and connections. Not sure I've ever been so convinced that someone is sleeping with her personal trainer just by looking at a photo.

Yeah, they just got married this year. She's a Scottish actress, 36 years old or 39? Wife #1 was out of the picture 3 years ago. Unsure of divorce/death/whatever.

People are only giving grief cuz he's a Republican.

The Russians are playing it up.

Trump reverses Obama policy on elephant trophies from hunts.

If you have a soul, you should immediately be pissed. However, when you dig into the explanation, I get it. I do. I've hunted in the past. I know hunters. Most are very much about conservation. Hunting is a very necessary thing to reduce populations of pest species that would otherwise cause a lot of damage and suffer themselves. (Deer fit this profile. Overpopulation of them would affect our crops, and cause them to suffer from disease and starvation.)

I'm ok with controlled hunts where they track and kill certain animals that are doomed anyway. Typically this means older animals and males that have lost their position in their pride.

I'm not ok with poachers (I truly believe in an immediate death penalty in those cases. No trial needed.) and hunting domesticated animals.

So if hunters want to pay a fuckton of money to hunt an animal nature has already doomed, then fine. However, let's also do what we can to help with ensuring those resources go to conservation.

See how optimistic this was when you just know one of his buddies just wanted to bring the head of an elephant he killed home to mount in his den.

Anti-Trump truck decal causing a stir.

No, you can't prosecute someone for that...although I wouldn't rule out someone trying to apply some law on public decency.

And honestly, the decal says more about the driver of the truck than Trump or Trump voters.
-He's stupid because it lowers his resale value.
-He isn't safety conscious because putting such a decal on his car will surely put him and his family in danger from other zealots.
-The majority of people who see his truck's decal will think he's the asshat, even if they support the message.
-You have to be a self absorbed dick to think putting a message like that where anyone can see it is fine.

Plus, the fees give the country the means and incentive to protect the heards from poachers.

Not for the sentiment, but in Memphis they have an ordinance against profanity on bumper stickers, etc.

Yeah, that was the part I was ok with, however...

Trump puts that news on hold and says a real decision with come next week.

Proponents "will be very hard pressed to change my mind that this horror show in any way helps conservation of Elephants or any other animal," the President tweeted.

Either Trump actually has a soft spot for animals or this is a political game to make him look good. "Well, he likes animals, so he can't be all bad."

Who knows WTF he's thinking. It's like one person gets his ear, and that's his new Truth.

Sarah Silverman confronts reality.

This is actually a positive story, and exactly what we need. I would urge more left wing elites to climb down from their towers and leave their gated communities to mix with the townsfolk. If people would just talk they'd realize that there is no great divide between them. Everybody wants the same thing. Getting there is where the disagreements happen.

Good for her. Too many people stay in their safety bubbles, building in their minds the idea that everyone else is a monster.

Respect for Sarah Silverman is UP.

Respect for Trump is DOWN. Just don't defend an accused pedophile. Just. Don't.

I'm glad I'm not an AL voter.

Because I thought it was hilarious...

That was awesome.

This might be the smartest person in his adminstration.

Because instead of answering the questions, she spreads fake news + unfounded conspiracy theories?

And makes people butthurt.

If she really said those things, she should just be shot.
