In other news, despot-elect Donald Trump told the New York Times he wont pursue an investigation of Hillary Clinton for... something. That's not actually the president's decision to make, but here's another broken campaign promise his gullible supporters believed.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian billionaire Victor Pinchuk apparently paid Trump $150,000 in September of 2015 for recording a speech for one of Pinchuk's conferences. Trump was running for office at the time. The amusing thing is Pinchuk also donated to the Clinton Foundation, which Trump tells us is an evil organization.
Finally, Texas state Senator Konni Burton has introduced a bill to punish teachers and school staff if they don't out gay and transgender students to their parents. My rage at the hypocrites of Big Republican Government In Your Pants and "privacy" is indescribable.
On a completely different note, this was my favorite thing today: President Obama on Crying Jordan
