What do you guys think of Serena Williams' Catsuit in the French Open?

I think its bloody brilliant. I find the requirement/expectation that women wear skirts/dresses a little archaic/sexist.

I did not think of the Wakanda connection - but hey that works too !

Why is it taking so long to prove obstruction of justice when

It is as plain as nose on Donald Trump's face for all to see.

Why has he not been sentenced yet? What is it with the fucking American justice system???

Apart from Nadal - who has the best chance to win French Open?

Nadal is overwhelming fav - but assuming one bad day in office along the route to finals - who do you think is in the best position to exploit that opportunity?

I think it wont be one of the old guard or even someone over 27. ( Let's face it - Dimitrov, Raonic etc have had their chances and could do nothing with it)

My money will be on one of Zverev or Thiem.

What will you do if Trump manages to evade law?

Looks like Muuller isn't going to indict the Fucking bastard.

Our generic advantage at the polls are dwindling, (because people are tired as shit ?) Russia and Koch brothers are geared up to fuck with our elections once more... And it's possible ( or even probable) that Republicans keep majority in both houses.


Whatever is left of the Mueller investigation will be shut down


I, for one, will not count it out. Republicans stole the Scotus seat didn't they? Did they pay a price?

They have learnt that that subverting democratic norms will be rewarded as long as they 'win'

Assuming all of the above comes to pass - what will you do? Will you let yourselves be shocked when something like the above will happen?

I am starting to prepare myself mentally that Trump is going to get away with it.

When Unilever launched DFM ( Dove for Men) here is how Old Spice responded.

OS didn't mention DFM , drew no comparisons .. nada
zip. They launched a campaign that pretended DFM did not exist.

OS played to it strength around defining Masculinity. It avoided spending it's limited budget on super bowl ads by smart targeting social media and women's magazines. ( Women make a large number of household purchases)


OS campaign was very successful against a very deep pocketed competitor. It protected its market share and then some.

I think Democrats need to learn from it. Fuck Trump and Republicans. We need to focus on our message of shared prosperity /well being for ALL. We have to do it by cutting through the clutter of distraction that Trump is expert at creating .. Trump will try to own Media News Cycles .. positive or negative ..he will try to dominate that space. But we need to create some ambush marketing strategies that help us get our message across.


This is a fight of our lives!!

Do you think people surrounding the Trump Investigation are going to get killed ?

Avenatti/Stormy are getting hourly death threats ( possibly from crazies) .. Russia is known to kill people either to punish or to protect its interests..

I am getting seriously concerned that ,as we get closer and closer to blowing the lid off the whole sordid affair - someone is going to get killed.

AT&T Inc.’s top Washington executive and policy chief is being forced out of the company after his office paid $600,000 to Trump attorney Michael Cohen last year.

The company told employees in an internal memo Friday that Bob Quinn was retiring, but a person familiar with the matter said Mr. Quinn was being forced to leave.

Guess who was next to me in the urinal at the LGA airport?

This guy:



I wanted to ask him if he was going to impeach Trump .. but I saw a some guy in a suit and a police officer in range and decided to keep my mouth shut.

I didn't want to be tackled inside an airport bathroom.

Help. I want a dog and my wife doesn't.

I have grown up with dogs - German Shepherds to be precise.

My wife always batted down the idea .. and I went along mostly because we lived a no dog condo then .. we have since moved to a single family home and am starting to entertain the idea of keeping a dog.

My daughter ( 6 yo) likes them but isn't crazy about them either ( mostly because a a dog sized puppy nipped her hand once)


Am I condemned to a life of no pets?
