Well, I don’t think it’s Rachel Maddow’s fault that they put a countdown clock up during Chris Hayes’s show. I don’t think her tweeting was out of line either—it was pretty standard for her, actually. And the segment at beginning of her show provided a lot of relevant, important context—that’s also pretty standard for…

In depth articulation and connecting the dots isn’t for everyone, I suppose.

I get that it turned people off, but she was basically recapping 2 weeks worth of her shows where she hit on each of those things in depth. They’re not baseless claims, they’re the background radiation for the entire Trump disaster.

The 20 minutes of explanation served a purpose. Knocking down every rationale they’ve given for not releasing them matters. As does explaining why any tax returns from Trump are important to the public interest, because that helps short circuit the ‘zomg illegal leakz’ arguments that are inevitable.

Don’t get sick! You won’t have healthcare!

Yes, he loves “Which one are you?” and “What’s her name again?”

Sorry, just wanted to say that I loved this show when I was a kid and used to sing the theme song all the time; when TV shows started being released on DVD, one of my friends bought me the first season of this and it was like the best gift ever.

Can you imagine the uproar if white people were enslaved for hundreds of years, and after having been freed were still denied basic rights for another century, and then were denied the tools that would allow them to better their overall circumstance like decent education and access to housing and banking, and then…

The real conservative stupidity litmus test is whether you voted for Trump.

I’m also a tall man who rides the subway every day. And yet I didn’t feel the need to don my fedora of justice.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE lock him up in the Tower of London and don’t let him out.

Have SO MUCH FUN. Seriously.

British person here. We are pretty much rubbing our hands together with glee at the prospect of a Trump visit. Every comedy show is endlessly mocking him and even the newscasters are saying things like”we tried to find someone who supports Trump but we couldn’t find anyone” (this happened twice just in a week). He is…

So it never occurred to anyone to ask the White House staff how to turn on the lights?

I THINK YOU NEED TO GET A NEW DOCTOR TBH

America was already great, you twit. Quit acting like you Trump voters care about minority, black, or womens issues. You are fooling *no one*.

Yeah. Boo, and shame on the media for playing tape of the man you voted for, without prompting, saying racist, bigoted, sexist, hate-filled, xenophobic things. Totally the media’s fault.

GTFO - the blood is on your hands.

Hi! Go fuck yourself!!

I think eventually Ivanka is just going to come out and show her breasts to the press corps, and that will be the extant of any WH communication.
