So a man was found Not Guilty based on the Gay Panic Defense in Texas...

Why is this still a thing? I mean there's no Rape Panic Defense. Because Cyntoia Brown is still in jail for killing the man who purchased her when she was 16.

NEWSWEEK - ANOTHER TRUMP TOWER IS ON FIRE, THIS TIME IN AZERBAIJAN

A mutli-floor blaze has broken out in the unfinished Trump International Hotel and Tower in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku, the Independent has reported.

Just weeks after a man died in a fire at the Trump Tower in New York, Azerbaijani emergency services rushed to the 33-storey hotel to battle flames consuming the buildings middle floors.

The local Azadliq newspaper said up to 25 firefighters and 100 other personnel were dispatched to the scene, extinguishing the fire after three hours. There were no immediate reports of injuries, and the extent of the damage is not yet clear. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

A grim metaphor that was too representative to only use once this month.

Ugh...

Don't forget that in many states, the "Trans Panic Defense" still applies, too.

I forget if the state I live in is one of them.

It seems the best way to get away with manslaughter in this country is to be a fragile, easily scared man.

camera went to Kellyanne during the segment on her, and then Sarah Huckabee Sanders literally sitting 2-3 seats to the side

I used to watch Wolf in a comedy basement while I was interning...super happy for her now.

I just watched that video though and she went so hard I'm cringing. Goddamn. Pretty good set, but super notable for being the most vicious I remember seeing at one of these dinners.

Of course the party of projection & hypocrisy is offended by Michelle Wolf's bit at the WHCD. They're always complaining about how PC everyone has to be. Until someone offends them, of course. Then they need a safe space are a little snowflakes they accuse everyone else of.

While Washington, Michigan, was a big success, Washington, D.C., just didnt work. Everyone is talking about the fact that the White House Correspondents Dinner was a very big, boring bust...the so-called comedian really bombed. @greggutfeld should host next year! @PeteHegseth

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/990557728752926725?s=19


Just wanna be clear that Greg and Pete are both Fox personalities, continuing the Fox feedback loop.

EDIT: plus, why does he care? He doesn't want to attend anyway.

Id be interested to see a Republican comedian host next year tbh just to see if they fellate Trump or have the balls to roast him even just a little bit.

RUDD IS DUD

Amber Rudd, the Home Secretary has resigned following a scandal in which people who had arrived in the UK legally decades ago were, among other things, being deported and losing jobs or healthcare because they couldn't prove they were there legally on account of the Home Office destroying their records. Whoops. Of course, that was started under then Home Secretary Theresa May...

Holy crap.

Reading up about this, most (all?) Of the affected immigrants were from Commonwealth nations. This wasn't even about sticking it to brown people!

It goes to show how toxic being recklessly "tough" on illegal immigration can be - oops accidentally deported a bunch of legal immigrants who had been here their entire lives. You need to be careful about this stuff.

I also forgot to mention that she lied about there being deportation targets. There was then proof of these targets existing, and she denied having seen them. So of course posters with the targets on them and a memo sent to her directly came to light. Guess she didn't see those either... Until a letter sent by her to the PM clearly talking about raising deportation targets was published. So she lied at least twice and got caught.

Hats off to The Guardian for breaking a lot of this stuff.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/apr/29/amber-rudd-letter-to-pm-reveals-ambitious-but-deliverable-removals-target

The UK has local elections on Thursday so it will be interesting to see what happens. Not looking good for the Tories.

It's a feature, not a bug. Like take the US, historically we definitely don't check to see if Mexicans are legally here/native-born before deporting them. Or if they're even Mexican before dropping them off in Mexico.

Dude I keep seeing people say she attacked Sarahs looks.

Literally the only thing she said about her appearance was that she used lies to make a perfect smoky eye.

She said her makeup was perfect.

They're focusing on that to mask the fact that Sanders lies to the press on a daily basis and none of them have the balls to call her out on her bullshit.

I thought the "I loved you in the Handmaid's Tale" could've been tangentially related to her appearance as well. Because she kind of looks like the character they mentioned.

Beyond that though, yeah, there wasn't anything in that entire monologue that was related to her appearance in any way. Unless I missed part of it.

why is she unable to finish her own jokes without laughing half the time, is that just her schtick

sorry, this has just been on my chest for a while, I don't find her funny but then I still want to roll my eyes at all the conservatives who are mad at her, how do I virtue signal correctly when I don't like a comedian, help

Holy shit yes.

His later standout was downright mean. There wasn't any humor to it. It was like the world had broken him, and he was so damn disappointed that all he could do was go out on stage and complain. And his earlier standup was never super impressive to me. Like it was fine, but I never understood what everyone lionized him the way they did.

This isn't politics related at all, but I've only ever met like two other people that shared my opinion on George Carlin so aw yeah.

Somewhat tangentially related to current events I suppose, but Bill Cosby Himself might still be the best standup special I've ever seen but it has been tremendously hard to go back and rewatch it recently.

I actually buy the theory that since Wolf MENTIONED SHSs appearance in a joke, even though it wasnt a joke at the expense of her appearance, they mentally filled in blanks that werent there because they all in private think she looks like shit.

Also most media covering the Trump WH are way too sycophantic to him, even the ones nominally on the other side.

I could plausibly believe the ones covering the WH are concerned about access, but that just highlights something problematic (that is what they're willing to do/say/etc. for access)
