I was pretty close to that age and the scene just struck me as...bizarre. I thought it stopped the story entirely, though, if memory serves me, I thought the book had fallen apart by that point, anyway.

Ditto. I always assumed the weird shit he wrote during this period - and the 1000 page lengths - was due mostly to his substance abuse.

The first 300 pages of IT are probably the best KIng’s ever written. The rest of the 1000 page book, however....

So what are the odds Congress just passes DACA again, but under a different name and taking Obama out of the equation, and Trump signs it and takes credit. Because that’s what this is really about, isn’t it? I’m sure Trump couldn’t even tell you what DACA stood for.

Can we just make a list of the things that Republicans claimed would end the world during Obama’s tenure, and now they’re totally chill with, even fighting to preserve? The Iran Nuclear deal, DACA, the ACA.....

The part about rounding up young adults and kids and deporting them in an election year is your first clue this wasn’t well thought out, to no one’s surprise.

“Ignore the pee stains”

When Trump gets beat in 2020, that will probably be the first line in the letter he leaves to the incoming Democrat.

“In addition, I have not become younger. Age does not add enthusiasm.”

Because one person directed The Avengers and the other didn’t?

It’s not a crime if Ryan and McConnell look the other way. And they’re looking the other way.

And August is supposed to be the slow month....

Funny thing is, if that were actually true, Melania wouldn’t even care.

Being qualified for the position doesn’t seem to be in the Top 10 reasons why Trump considers someone for a White House job.

I have actual hope this is what makes him into the quickest lame duck in history. I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up after he survived and thrived after the Access Hollywood tape, but this feels oddly different. If the guy survives this, he’s getting re-elected.

It’s a bone chilling 17 minutes, well worth watching and having everyone’s kids watch if they’re old enough. The reporter deserves some kind of medal for being so close to these reptiles.

Or turned into those I Am Legend vampires.

Classic way of admitting he fucked up by sounding like he’s doubling down.

Well, Lindsey Graham has said Trump’s told him that he’s cool with preemption, so you may very well be right. Trump may just be stupid enough to stumble into a war because, what’s millions killed as long as they’re not named Trump and he doesn’t have a hotel or golf course anywhere near there.

You mean, “no more than 10 to 20 million killed? Tops! Depending on the wind.”?
