There is no set date for the RDM's NYC trip. He and his wife will probably do a 1-nighter some time in mid-to-late August. The kids will be babysat, they already had their NYC time.
Well, if Alstom handles this, surely they can do the job properly? After all they already have tons of experience in other countries, they're not total nubs like Amtrak.
I'm moving to Westchester county in mid-to-late August so the timing doesn't seem ideal. Oh well, SGNYC will have to wait I guess.

We're too small for that to happen to us, because we can monitor each post individually without software. Even in its prime, it was possible, although more difficult, to read every post on SG.

I know, it's not perfect. But that's where the jobs are.
And more importantly, it's not as crazily noisy as NYC.

Indeed it does. Kind of crazy that all the people going "This might be something more than a blood clot..." turned out to be right. The RDM thought that was just clickbaiting.

I mean, I kind of thought he just sounded incoherent because he was trying to trip up comey with questions that he knew didn't make sense, but this does explain that episode.

I have to say that episode was really confusing to me, because it seemed out of character. Whilst I don't agree with many of his ideas, he's always seemed to me like someone just fighting for what he believes in, in a fair way and not relying on shitty tactics.

Is Damien in Greece already? Apparently there was an earthquake there earlier.

Yeah. That wouldn't happen here. Unless the kid was black and then they would maybe get shot or something. That's not an insensitive joke, because I'm serious. I could actually see that happening.

Scaramucci is just one more in a line of terrible choices who are basically a perfect mismatch for the role they were chosen to fill.

Dude is hilarious so far. In a terrifying sort of way. He's a front stabber. He's straightly not going to answer your questions.

I think the title of Communication Director fits him perfectly.
He did get the point about communicating, right? Not quite sure he understood the bit about direction though.

I really dislike that we have a president who refuses to publicly say that, and that the degree to which he's held accountable for that is unacceptable.

The reason he's even in the office is because a bunch of people who were busily engaging in false equivalency decided to try not voting.

A lot of people voted though, so I'm not really sure it has to do with that anymore than that a lot of people never vote. There were more total votes in this election than in 2012.
