The last line of the article.
Yep that sounds about right.

I have some beefs with the analysis in that article:
Daniels calling Roseanne* āignorantā seems off, unless Daniels expects the exact details of her porn oeuvre to be widely known. Rude, irrelevant, and presumably inaccurateā¦ but not ignorant.
First of all, she may well being calling Roseanne ignorant because she thinks Roseanne is generally ignorant (e.g., conspiracy theories) rather than because this incident shows her ignorance. But beyond that, not knowing whether or not Stormy Daniels does one type of scene or another is certainly not āignorantā writ large, but it is ignorant of Stormy Danielsā movies. And ignorance of the thing you are choosing to comment on does speak badly of your choice to comment on it.
Also, if what Daniels is saying is true, the Star-Spangled Banner slam is actually not a good analogy. If Daniels doesnāt do anal movies, then itās not like Roseanne singing that one time. It would be fitting if Daniels did an anal movie once, and it was a notoriously lousy film; then the analogy would work. What Daniels is doing is like saying Roseanne is known for, say, wearing velour Juicy tracksuits if she had never actually worn one before (or something equally unclassy).
I think this is uncharitable. She specifically referenced Roseannes ābeautiful rendition of the national anthemā (emphasis mine). Given that Roseanneās rendition of the national anthem is infamously bad (Iāve never heard it myself, but Iāve heard of it) her ābeautiful renditionā of the national anthem does not exist.
We donāt know if Daniels has or has not done anal movies. Our fact-checkers have their limits. Youāll just have to figure that out yourself if you really have to know.
I guess it is possible that Avenatti told her to write that, thinking that Trump would immediately respond with links to the relevant movies to show sheās lying.
* I donāt default to referring to women by their first rather than their last name, but Roseanne is Roseanne.

Are you sure this topic is worth that much of your energy?
Myself, Iād just as soon walk off a pier.
Or for that matter, listen once again to the Good ol SSB.

While I can understand why you would suggest this, I think more of the energy it would have taken me to not analyze those comments, and then the energy it would have taken me to keep my thoughts to myself, and I feel I made the right call.

tl;dr is that while unemployment is down, prosperity isnāt going up. The labor market is largely a race to the bottom.

Yep. Yet you listen to the news, even friggin NPR, and all you hear is how great these numbers are, if a slight bit puzzling because the number of new ājobsā this month isnāt as high as expected, etc etc. Letās ask this here economist how he reads these tea leaves!
The shitty economic conditions of most U.S.ians, let alone whatās caused it, are almost always just plain off the media map.

The Tillerson State Department didnāt respond to guidance from senior diplomats telling them not to cancel TPS for Haitian refugees in the US. Stephen Miller took it upon himself to call the State Department and tell them to go ahead with the cancellation. I dont remember electing Stephen Miller, or seeing him confirmed. WTF? I just canāt evenā¦ Itās too much.

Maybe Trump didnāt pay for the settlement after all.
A shell company that Michael D. Cohen used to pay hush money to a pornographic film actress received payments totalling more than US$1-million from an American company linked to a Russian oligarch and several corporations with business before the Trump administration, according to documents and interviews.
