Agreed. A Jew, in a similar discussion, might use “Torah” that way. But Judaism is never described, in its own vocabulary, as a “faith,” in part because while belief is a central element, it’s far from the only, or even major, element.

She barely speaks English. Unless its name in Slovenian is also a euphemism for female genitalia, it’s coincidence. That, or it’s shade from her stylist.

That was my reaction to this too. I have sons. I was hardly supporting Trump before this, but afterwards (and given kids find out everything) it became hugely important to condemn him loudly and publicly, to discuss, repeatedly, with my kids that what Trump is describing is criminal and immoral, and to work against…

It needs to be a total humiliation of both him and the GOP. This is needed to prevent conspiracy mongering (although there will be some anyway.) It is needed to make Cheetoh Jesus slink back to his gilded, taste-free condo and never come out. And it is needed to punish the GOP for allowing this plague to descend on us…

You’re right. A major evangelical magazine came out against him after this past weekend. They didn’t endorse Hillary, because (as they pointed out) as a non-profit they don’t endorse or unendorse anyone, but did say Trump is the embodiment of everything the Bible warns against, which in that world is about identical…

Not to mention, women having *fantasies* about something happening consensually does not mean it’s fair game to do those things to them (or anyone) against their will. Do we really, truly have to have this discussion? Still?

Likewise. I want him to have zero chance of winning, not the 20% Nate Silver currently gives him.

Yes, from most of the coverage you’d think the biggest problem is he used a naughty word. FFS.

And the format is even more volatile and unpredictable.

and only if they were offended. For whatever stupid reason they’d find his totally harmless banter offensive.

I don’t think that’s a real concern. Yes, some Republican NeverTrumpers would come back and vote Pence. But an equal or larger number of Trumpkins would stay home in a rage, as would the non-trivial numbers of independents who support him, but not the GOP in general. (Bear in mind, he did better in open primaries than…

He literally got his start as a racist. And Ivana wrote about him raping her in the early 90s. I’m torn between being really glad the GOP establishment has finally had enough, and finding the pearl clutching pretty ridiculous. Was anybody surprised about what he said on Friday’s tape? I was surprised to find a…

Yup, the sane ones have already abandoned Trump. Now they’re on the verge of staying home or voting for people who haven’t spent a year supporting a vile misogynist.

Identity politics is the enemy of intersectionality. He’s being an asshole and trying to play pain Olympics with sexual assault on the table.

I’d chip in on GoFundMe.

Bigly, even :)

Even her worst enemies have to concede that she has splendid impulse control. He has none. She’s preparing like mad, and he’s proud of not doing so (and couldn’t have this weekend even if he wanted to.) It’s going to be glorious.

... “if you’re nutty enough to have been offended by it.”

But were they stars?

But the magnitude of the Trump meltdown should be a sight to behold.
