Trump blames his support of Russia on a double negative and no one’s buying it

TwitterFacebook

Do you know the difference between the words “would” and “wouldn’t?” No? That’s okay! You can still be president!

On Tuesday afternoon, Donald Trump attempted to clean up the monumental mess he caused during his joint press conference with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland, by reading prepared statement in the White House.

If you worked for the National Security Agency over the last few years and had a question about the Oxford comma, you could turn to “Grammar Geek.” 

That’s the old-school advice column in the NSA publication SIDtoday — and now we know what people were asking, thanks to archives from 2012 through 2014 released through a records request Monday

From this treasure trove of internal communications, we learned about a switch from Gigi to Gabby as the reigning grammar geek (any identifying information about the column editors was redacted, though we did learn that “Gabby” grew up in Pennsylvania and when she joined the column in 2013 she’d been with the NSA for 30 years already) and we get something of an inside look at a secretive government agency.  Read more…
