Parents leave three of The Most Important Things in the World in a hot car while they go shopping. Police intervene.

The court levees a fine of $1000 — total. Naturally the family wants it reduced to $0, because The Most Important Things in the World aren't all that important when they cost money or you have to do something inconvenient like not leaving them to broil in a car.

The counter-move for the press isn’t to double down on anti-Trump messaging. The counter-move is to bolster its own trustworthiness by acting more neutral and sober, and by being more trustworthy. If the news media actually focused on reporting facts accurately and straightforwardly, on leaving opinion to the pundits, and on giving Trump a clearly fair shake, then Trump’s tactics wouldn’t work, and any actual dirt they found on him would do actual damage. He’s betting on the press being insufficiently mature and self-controlled to manage that. So far, his bet is paying off.

That’s too bad. If we had a better press, we’d be much better off as a nation. But we don’t.

Shafer:

Consider the Obama presidency. As former Politicos Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen wrote in 2013 in a piece titled, “Obama, the Puppet Master,” he was “a master at limiting, shaping and manipulating media coverage of himself and his White House.” Obama didn’t camouflage the news with tweets or with shameless posturing in front of the CIA’s wall of martyrs as Trump did on Saturday, a move that caused former CIA Director John Brennan to growl in protest. Obama, VandeHei and Allen explained, took “old tricks for shaping coverage (staged leaks, friendly interviews) and put them on steroids using new ones (social media, content creation, precision targeting).” In doing so, “Media across the ideological spectrum [were] left scrambling for access.”

Now that's just mean:

For those news outlets more than happy to spout that the inauguration was empty:

Ugh, double post. Sorry.

If you speak the truth, have a foot in the stirrup.

So CNN is peddling some fake real news?

Hi, Kevin. Here's a slightly similar case:

https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/5p0fbl/wa_neighbors_son_walked_into_my_garage_while_i/

"I was working on a vehicle when he (neighbor's young son) wandered in through an open side door, the main garage door was shut. I didn't notice him right away and don't know how long he was standing there but immediately stopped when I realized. I took him back to his house and told his mother what happened and that she should take him to a doctor if there was eye pain. She freaked out and yelled at me for leaving the door open and hurting her boy.

"Today I got a call from her and it turns out he was injured and she had to take him to the ER/Ophthalmologist and miss two days of work to care for him. She's threatening to sue me if I don't give her $5000 by next Wednesday. Would she have any legal ground to win if she does sue?"

Hmm.. A buddy who is a graphic designer shows that it's a matter of perspective:

Piers Morgan questions what exactly the Women's March was about, feminism or a temper tantrum, concluding that nasty women do not favors for ladies everywhere.

Maybe Trump should use Hillary and Obama's favourite tool against dissent, and send them an IRS audit.

Gwyneth Paltrow want you to shove rocks up your vagina. Not kidding.

Oh? Those are Yoni eggs. You're supposed stuff them into your peekachoo and then do Kegels. Think of them as Powerlifting for your vajayjay.

Of course, that's just quackery.

"You're supposed stuff them into your peekachoo and then do Kegels. "

Sounds like a fantastic self-defense system for a Rockette.

Said Rockette could travel in a skirt sans undies and if she's attacked, just throw a high kick and wham-o! Stone egg to the forehead.

Incidentally, can anyone calculate the muzzle velocity of said stone egg?
