The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

”Optics” is everything:
"The optics in some of this don't look good, and that's why we, again, have taken this criticism to heart," Tom Price told Fox News last fall, as his frequent use of charter jets was about to prematurely end his tenure as Health and Human Services secretary.
Trump, hinting to reporters that Price was on his way out, said, "Look, I think he's a very fine person. I certainly don't like the optics."
Public apologies contain three essential elements, said Edwin Battistella, author of Sorry About That: The Language of Public Apology.

The media will give Trump a huge gift if they focus on Trump's vulgarity, womanizing, and narcissism. Everyone expects that from a billionaire mogul. They expect worse, and they figure all the rich and powerful are doing it. Everybody is fucking around.
Now, the behaviour of your leaders, and the divisions within your society are something like a historian would expect from an Empire towards the end of its time...

NRA! NRA!
The Hill:
Trump got positive marks on his handling of the economy, where 48 percent of people approve of his performance, compared to 45 percent who disapprove.
Just over 50 percent of voters disapprove of Trump's handling of both gun policy and foreign affairs, the poll found.

White House finally responds:
Mr Cohen who signed gag deal with Stormy has never heard of Stormy!
“In truth, Mr Cohen had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with any such person or incident, and does not even believe that any such person exists, or that such incident ever occurred,” Blakely said in the letter, according to Reuters.
