- Well, yesterday we had the President of the United States called a porn star he had an affair with "Horseface", and she responded by calling him "Tiny." It's been a good run, America.
- If you are going to have an affair with a porn star while your wife is pregnant you should at least spell her name correctly. (And it's funny how Trump unwittingly called himself "a total con" in the last sentence.)
- Fun fact: On September 15, 1991 Troy Aikman had 11 completions on 25 attempts for only 121 yards. He was sacked 11 times. He is one of only seven quarterbacks to have as many sacks as completions in a single game. (Minimum of 10 attempts.)

- Found footage: Former Dallas DA Henry Wade discussing prosecuting adult movie theaters and book stores in 1971. He said he had no problem getting convictions but the problem was that the juries weren't giving jail time. He didn't seem to understand that the juries were sending him a message. Those prosecutions exist nowhere in Texas today.

- "I don’t want to talk about any of the facts and they didn’t want to either." - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo after being asked if the Saudis said Jamal Khashoggi, a permanent U.S. resident, was alive or dead.
