Hillary cannot, for one second, even appear to lower herself to attacking Trump like he does with her. If she’s has ONE slight meltdown like Trump’s, it will bring this election back to a coin flip.

Although his argument that Democrats are somehow more cohesive and loyal to each other than the Republicans is pretty funny.

This actually fits in well with John Oliver’s use of a videogame as an analogy for women’s long journey to the white house with Trrump as the final boss. n all the best videogames, the final Boss always has at least one second form when they get desperate and revert to their true monstrous self.

I’ll give Glenn Beck credit (just this once), he’s actually got the fucking spine to say outloud and stand by what every moderately intelligent conservative thinks about Trump. I think the realization that the conservative base is more likely to watch Honey Boo-Boo than 60 Minutes has really dismayed Glenn Beck. He…

“Democrats fall in love; Rebublicans fall in step.”

Has been said before, but bears repeating:

He’s now reading garbled Russian propaganda directly from the Kremlin to his audiences at rallies;

“Sorry, i didnt see it as talking about sexual assault. I understand people think that way though and it’s fine. Just one more thing to add to the pile of reasons to keep him from running the country.”

As a (married) man I’ve never once said to my guy friends anything like: “Even though I just got married three months ago to my third wife, I was recently trying so hard to have sex with this other married woman, but failed miserably. Oh, by the way, I grab all the wimmens in their no-no’s because I’m so tremendous!…

“I think Obama did actually a fantastic job. My conservative friends hate me for saying that, but I said it to Milo. I think actually if we have four more years of Obama I’d be quite happy.”

Good point, sexual predators and harassers often think that everyone thinks like them.

Joking around about sexual assault? Bullshit. This was not “she has a nice ass” talk, this was an admission of guilt of criminal behavior. God forbid you have a daughter.

You say “reasonable political discourse,” I say “selective rationalization by a douche proving his douchieness.” Tomato/Rotten-Orange Skinned bigot.

This is the Republican bogeyman of big, bad Liberals taking away their money to pay for the poors. He brushes aside just about every other thing about this guy because he…

Guys don’t get to decide whether or not the results of holding themselves to obscenely low standards are offensive or contribute to broader cultural attitudes about sexual assault. Him thinking it’s a joke isn’t the most important factor in whether or not it’s received as one by the people he’s joking about.

I’m tired of my Facebook feed getting cluttered with false equivalency. “Both candidates are bad, can we get a do over? Lol!”

Clearly the Smug Style is a huge gift to Trump and is something liberals really need to stop fucking up if we’re ever going to get some real class-based movements going in this country.

We don’t need to hear from both sides if one side is batshit crazy and their stance is indefensible. This is how Republicans are winning and manipulating the system. This is done for the sake of “good television,” and Trump supports get to go on the air and shout out talking points and memes to reinforce the “I hate…

Yes! There’s a whole political science book on this that just came out (Independent Politics by Klar and Krupnikov). Basically it argues that it is socially undesirable to be percieved as partisan (both because of attitudes about the parties, political conflict, etc., and because of the media’s adulation of…

Within a family I could see it, but I fall more in the “like the attention” camp. Claiming you’re “undecided” in some of their eyes, they think it makes them look like a thoughtful person who isn’t rushed into a decision, blah blah blah.

I can understand it to a point. To people that don’t follow this stuff like those of us regulars on Gawker(rip) i’m sure it is pretty easy to chock up all the sensational pieces as just that, the normal sensational bullshit that gets flung every election. I havent’ watched any of Donald Trumps events in person until…
