Donald Trump is freaking out over the Russia indictments, so naturally his chief of staff went on Fox News and went into damage control mode. Or he basically defended the Confederacy’s position on slavery. One of the two.
John Kelly appeared Monday on the first night of Laura Ingraham’s new show, The Ingraham Angle. When asked about taking down Confederate monuments, he defended Robert E. Lee and then said “the lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War.”
Wow. Gen. John Kelly just said “the lack of ability to compromise led to the Civil War.”
Compromise on what, exactly?

John Oliver knows how much of waste of money Australia's marriage equality survey is
October 31, 2017John Oliver certainly has a lot to say about Australia, which he labelled “the Outback Steakhouse of countries.” Oliver has been outspoken on the country’s immigration policy, and how its former prime minister Tony Abbott ate raw onions.
This time around, he’s focused on the country’s very expensive, “dispiriting” postal survey on whether it should legalise marriage equality.
The Last Week Tonight host wasted no time ripping into the wild arguments against same-sex marriage, plus the fact it costs $120 million and isn’t even legally binding.
“[It’s] the weirdest waste of Australian money since every Baz Luhrmann movie ever made,” Oliver said. Oh, doesn’t Australia know. Read more…

'Star Trek: Discovery' throws viewers for a (time) loop, and it's magical
October 31, 2017For a show involving cosmic fungus and a giant tardigrade, Star Trek: Discovery has been pretty serious this season.
That’s not a bad thing. But Sunday night’s episode — called “Magic to Make the Sanest Man go Mad” — marked a glorious return to the campy, cheesy version of Star Trek that made other series so much fun.
This episode had it all: time crystals, a time loop, and a man in a cape. Oh, and plenty of old-school references for diehard Trekkies.
Rainn Wilson, who you might know as Dwight from The Office, holds the episode together. He plays Harcourt Fenton “Harry” Mudd, a con man who features in several episodes of the original 1966-68 Star Trek. Read more…
