I would bet that he also threatened to take Barron away. Not because he loves his son or bothers to pay any attention to him, but because he’d want to hurt her as much as possible.

I’d love to see the Electoral College go extinct, but that’s not the real issue here. Trump was elected by a minority of voters, but the election was legal. That’s not the problem. Also, our primary system is fucked up, but it’s legal for parties to select candidates that way, so that’s not the problem either.

He’s been awful to his relatives when they crossed him. And that was before there were Internet trolls.

She’s almost 47. Possible but not likely.

I don’t think he’s ever worn one in his life.

Brave battle-scarred veterans of the Reddit Wars! Don’t hurt their poor tough delicate macho wimpy little feelngs!

Good for you for calling him out! I’ve developed zero tolerance for trolls, whether they’re hand-wringing concern trolls or just plain fucking trolls. If he pulls this again, tell him that there’s a big difference. Misogyny, racism, and every other kind of bigotry have always beem around. So has crime, so has poverty.…

I’m currently in the back seat of a friend’s car, on my way back home from the DC march. I don’t know which was more exhilarating: being a part of it, or following some of the international march feeds. Holy crap — four separate cities in New Zealand had marches. Researchers in Antarctica were photographed holding…

One ray of hope is that (t)Rump is already pissing off Republicans. Case in point: The “insurance for all” comment. Now, I don’t believe for a moment that he has any kind of a plan, let alone a workable one. But it blindsided the GOP, and they’ll have to come to terms very quickly with the fact that they’re dealing…

It looks interesting, but I may wait a while before tackling it. I have a weird reaction to Jude Law anyway, simply because he looks a lot like an acquaintance of mine who’s a sanctimonious killjoy and all-around pain in the ass. (Hmmm, maybe this is the perfect Jude Law role for me to enjoy watching!)

Realizing that there were such things as asexuality and graysexuality (e.g. experiencing only occasional sexual desire) helped me understand quite a few people who are close to me. It also helped me come to terms with my own sexuality; I’m not ace, but though I had an intense sex drive when I was younger, it shocked…

Maybe he’s bi.

I just can’t wait until Schneider explains to the women in Congress exactly what menstrual cramps feel like.

I won’t be watching the inauguration, not just because I can’t stand Trump, but because I’ll be on the road with some friends, traveling to Washington for the Women’s March the next day.

To paraphrase Andy Borowitz: We’re not claiming that Trump’s election was illegitimate. We’re saying it’s catastrophic.

I hear you. Since the campaign heated up last summer, I’ve (a) started taking Klonopin, albeit in small and only occasional doses; (b) probably doubled my alcohol consumption, and (c) developed a daytime tooth-grinding habit. Fortunately, regular exercise seems to help. But I spent two weeks at Christmas time visiting…

What in the fucking hell?

For sure. We liberals would have groused for a while about a President Jeb Bush or John Kasich, but we’d be getting on with our lives in the meantime. Plus, there are a lot of conservative and centrist Americans who find Trump very, very disturbing.

I have a moderate level of inattentive-type ADHD, and have friends with more severe forms of it. I think Trump has an extreme case of full-blown attention deficit + hyperactivity layered over his even more extreme underlying narcissism.

I’m still friends with my MOH (my only attendant), who was the co-worker who kept me sane while I endured a terrible job, a prolonged breakup, and a few months out of work after the loss of said terrible job. We’re not in touch that often these days, because I moved away a few years after getting married. But we keep…
