Preach. That second to last sentence is the kicker — the operative word is FORWARD. I refuse to accept the notion that we have to step backwards so we can cater to these people’s regressive whims.

I really enjoyed reading that. Thank you for linking.

It wouldn’t matter. Look at how many people that Trump betrayed went public. People don’t care.

Oh he’s been gathering nuts, alright

If Democrats knew anything about the effectiveness of messaging, they would immediately brand this guy as “The Foreclosure King”.

Sort of unrelated, but much needed, and I’m reposting it everywhere.

Mnuchin and Two Chin

You’re essentially asking why are people abusive.

Yet as morally bankrupt as that is—and ho boy, it’s a doozy—it pales in comparison to literally everything these days and that is such a bummer I can’t even stand it. Like, when a man cheating on his dying wife sounds downright folksy in its simplicity, we are well and truly fucked.

I honestly can’t imagine how else someone like him would do it. Bernie would have done the same. The paradox of being an outsider candidate is that you’re more dependent on the people who know what the jobs are and how to do them, than someone who has been steeped in the bowels of government their entire life.

Who is Dan Quayle? Not Jack Kennedy, from what I’ve heard.

While I firmly believe that GHWB was the best GOP president since Eisenhower, Dan Quayle was a useless idiot who could not pour urine out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the bottom of the sole. I thought the office of the executive could not get any dumber. Then, later on, GWB was elected and I knew that…

I’m sorry but I fucking hate this kind of take. Being an asshole is not a mental illness. She might have a personality disorder, like trump seems to, but there’s zero evidence she’s mentally ill.

The barley incident just begging for someone to step up and say “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”

And why was SHE married so many times? At least seven by last count.

Any mention of how he got married to the widow next door?

I love the Flag Code, but no one reads it or cares. It’s depressing. If people did read it and try to follow it, I think there would be a lot less mindless flag-waving.

I’m holding out hope that he’ll mostly be ineffectual once he learns the responsibilities of the presidency and consequences of his actions, as well as just how many people loathe his ideas. It’s easy enough (if you’re Trump) to be goaded by your supporters into saying inflammatory bullshit at your own rallies, but…

Even by those standards, she’s not a WASP. She came up middle-class and hardworking. She did her own cooking and sewing and worked hard for a living. How is that a privileged WASP?
