    Palin’s son plead guilty to possessing a firearm while intoxicated after beating his girlfriend and threatening her with an AR-15. Then he beat his father and threatened to shoot him. He is still legally allowed to own guns. But do lecture us more about responsible gun ownership.

    You guys. With some distance from that Gina Haspel hearing, I'm still wondering this: She spent 30 years as a clandestine services officer. Why doesn't she lie better?

    Shocked that behaved like a lout first day on the job!

    Surprise! Hours into his new job, Trump’s ambassador to Germany offends his hosts. (No one is surprised.)
