I swear, it’s a fucking nightmare that just won’t end, and he’s not even officially in the goddamn office yet. The really horrific thing about it is that every single bit of ridiculousness only makes his fans stronger and bolder (check any given FB feed for proof), the press is conforming to his will, and he’s putting…

It’s so upsetting. A family member of mine voted for Trump because “the last 8 years were boring” and all I can think today is how right he was. The last 8 years were gloriously, perfectly boring. I’ll take boring any day over this actual shit show (or maybe more fitting- piss show).

“Unless the ghost of Ben Franklin comes back, we’re fucked, right?”

He really doesn’t get that it was the leadership of Nazi Germany who shut down the press (and every other critic), rather than the press and public criticizing the leadership.

Not to mention scandal/conflict of interest free.

this coming from the man who had/has/bankrupted multiple hotels. Does this mean his properties had teeny tiny cameras all over the rooms?

Yes. They literally need to speak to him as if he has the mental capacity of a five year old.

Every time this Plect says he didn’t do something, especially in ALL CAPS, I feel the press should dig into whatever he’s denying even more vigorously. The opposite is likely true. The emphasis is like he was triggered:

You aren’t wrong. :/

I cannot believe I live in a world where the incoming Administration makes W look quaint and Cheney only slightly evil.

The thing that you (and others) are hinting at, given the social inertia of how this person came to be where he is, would generate a situation significantly worse than it can potentially be. The last thing the world needs is a martyr for that demagoguery.

So, he tells his people to be wary of hidden, tiny cameras because you don’t want to end up on the evening news.

Fucking NICKLEBACK has had crowds like Trump has had.

Reporters cannot ask him multipart questions, it makes it WAY too easy to dodge. I can’t imagine how tempting it is to ask a whole litany of questions in your one turn but the fact that he could sidestep the question about whether his staff had contact with Russia is unacceptable.

Speaking of tax returns: I bought a house a year ago October, so this will be the first year that I’ll be able to take advantage of that mortgage interest deduction. I logged on the other day to see how much I’d paid in interest, and HOLY SHIT.

“Nobody’s ever had crowds like Trump has had,”

I love how Trump said foreign countries would respect us more than under the Obama administration yet in China right now:

This is such a stark contrast to Obama’s farewell speech last night (and the last 8 years for that matter, but last night brought it home in a very heartbreaking way) that it makes me tear up. I can’t believe this shitshow on wheels is what follows such a smart, savvy, dedicated, funny, self-depracating, diplomatic…

Messy is being generous. This is an all out attack on the integrity of our country. It was a sloppy magic trick, but the trick itself is what is concerning.
