More of a random stuff worth watching thing, but the article includes some background of an exonerated man. I was unsure about the 360 degree video at first, but at the end I liked the feel of it.

Why I'm Leaving the Republican Party:
I left many years ago to become an independent, but this article captures my feelings quite well. I've been trying to figure out how to explain why I can't support either party and this column helped me clarify a few things. Worth reading if you're trying to better understand what's wrong with both current political parties.Comment

That's a long but very good essay about today's politics in general and Gingrich in particular. McKay Coppins always does a very nice job of research and writing, even if he was ogling women at Mar a Lago, as Trump insisted later.Originally posted by Pelado View PostComment

It's a great story, and grew out of Coppins' fine 2014 Buzzfeed piece about the Donald that (this will shock you) Trump was greatly offended by and went on the attack. Coppins had followed Trump around, including rides on the private jet and a stay at Mar A Lago, resulting in a less-than-flattering presentation.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Post
On the eve of Trump's formal nomination two years later, Coppins wrote a funny follow-up piece about the earlier article and Trump's reaction. Given that Coppins (like everyone else on the planet) was highly skeptical of a successful Trump candidacy, the second piece is almost an apology for goading Trump into running.
Among the funny elements is Trump's typically ham-fisted attack on Coppins, backing up his claim that Coppins was sexually harassing the female employees at Mar a Lago with a statement from one of them: “I don’t know how to say it — he was looking at me like I was yummy,” complained one hostess named "Bianka Pop."
Read both pieces if you enjoy rips on Trump--Trumpophiles shouldn't bother.
BTW, at last report, Coppins was a faithful member of the Church, and was serving in the bishopric of my daughter's NYC ward. If you know anything about him, or simply look up his Images on Google, you'll probably not believe Trump's lame accusations.Comment
