It's possible she was just sending a message to her boyfriend/husband that she planed to come home and give him a little nookie?
Her husband is a US district attorney (Western District of Texas Trump appointee) and former clerk for Kavanaugh. If nookie wasn't scheduled at least 4 days in advance it is unlikely it would be happening. It's not like you can hire jesters, rent all the animals, and book Mar-a-Largo with less lead time than 4 days.

Also, the Batman costume needs to be dry cleaned, a safe word has to be decided upon, and emergency numbers have to be left with the neighbors in case they see any of the clowns they've hired for that night's session acting suspiciously outside their home.

Why don't we know this woman's name, age, street address, and occupation by now so she can be fired and dragged through the mud before anyone even figures out who she may or may not be affiliated with? The internet is disappointing me today.
Yeah, I have no idea why the intertubes don't know anything about Zina Bash. It's just one of life's inscrutable mysteries.

In addition, Bash was a director on Ted Cruz’s ill-fated presidential campaign in 2016.
Now that's some impeccable grade A A-hole credentials.

I honestly have no time to keep track of the thousands of people in the political system.
She's a lawyer from McAllen, Texas and is 36 years old, and graduated from Harvard. She's bilingual and likes to sing to her daughter in Spanish. She worked (works?) in the Trump White House on the Domestic Policy Council, and is worth over $18 million. She was born in Mexico and her parents are holocaust survivors. Her husband vigorously denies that she was flashing the White Power symbol and that it was just a coincidence of placement.
I'd side with accidental placement, but I'm sure Trump is about to promote her for it - so it could have been a cunning jab at white supremacists intended to increase her own fame.

Then maybe you should have made a rhetorical comment to that effect instead of complaining that the denizens of the internet haven't done something that they have totally done.

I believe his point was more "unless OO shows it to me, nothing on the internet exists".
That's how it works for me anyway.
Also don't overlook the veiled criticism that the internet is going to dox this person and assign all sorts of nefarious motivations to her and then boycott her Sunday school because...internet reasoning.

Since his response was that he simply hadn't bothered to check, because who has time to do that, I'm going to stick with my initial interpretation.

My initial comment was because I expected to see her vilified six ways from Tuesday and I was poking at the explosive nature of the internet with these kinds of things.
My second reply with the coffee cup was an add-on line. I originally had the rest typed up but added that as a bit of snark because you looked like you expected me to know who she was.
Now we've wasted time picking apart a discussion and Trump has won. Thanks, Obama.

In that video, Jones reminds me of nothing so much as a middle school bully, and dropping dogwhistles like "go back to your bath house."
This is the current right wing, and Trump is in that mold. Amazing.

Rubio needs to get used to this. It's the new norm for the GOP. He probably should have offered to wash Jones' feet as that's his demographic now.

Since this is the Who is America thread:
Sacha Baron Cohen is being sued for defamation by Roy Moore over his appearance on the actor's controversial Showtime series — and the embattled former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice is seeking $95 million in damages.
...
Cohen, as the character Erran Morad, interviewed the judge and demonstrated a fictional device meant to detect pedophiles — a reference to Moore's alleged sexual misconduct with an underage girl that surface during his failed campaign for Alabama's U.S. Senate seat.
...
"Defendant Cohen’s character falsely and fraudulently introduced a false and fraudulent 'device' supposedly invented by the Israeli Army to detect pedophiles," state the complaint. "During the segment, Defendant Cohen’s 'device' — as part of the false and fraudulent routine — purports to detect Judge Moore as a sex offender, thus defaming him."
...
Moore is suing Cohen, along with CBS and Showtime, for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and fraud. As a public figure, Moore will have to prove defendants acted with malice and either knew the statements concerning him were false or acted with a reckless disregard for their falsity. Cohen's reps have not yet responded to a request for comment on the complaint, which is posted below.
...
Cohen is no stranger to litigation. His 2006 film Borat saw multiple people sue claiming they had been humiliated by him. Those claims largely didn't stick, in part, because plaintiffs had signed agreements releasing filmmakers from liability. Here, Moore's lawyers are arguing that the release he signed was obtained through fraud and is therefore void.

Now do Rosa Parks.
Because being drafted into the NFL and being employed there for multiple years is totally sucking at football and having a multi-million dollar endorsement deal is absolutely the equivalent of selling women's shoes in a strip mall.
The meme is funny, except it's bullshit and intended to diminish an honorable man for doing an honorable thing. That's the part that I can't abide by. I'd laugh otherwise.
He was also a two-time California all-state baseball player and was listed as a draftable prospect on Major League Baseball's website in the class of 2006 according to wikipedia. Someone work teeball into the meme, stat.

Watched the video without sound. Strong stuff. The wheel chair bound basketball player dribbling two balls really hit me, because I was a fully functional healthy young man doing the exact same thing as I trained to be the best basketball player I could be when I was young, and I saw the same drive to succeed in her actions and her eyes. Except I didn't have a chair holding me back and getting in the way. It really connected.

Glad you liked it. Definitely try to watch again with sound when you get a chance. Kaepernick does the entire voice over, and his delivery is pretty spot on.
