Ailes and Trump cramming together for the debate would make the most horrifying frat boy buddy comedy ever.

Hmm. Yes. I imagine her “symptoms” will only get worse the more Trump slips in the polls.

Our 15-pound cat killed our Roomba by pouncing on it.

Pastor Kioko pronounced himself shocked by the whole thing

I mean, I know it’s technically incorrect. But that is how people where I live often phrase it. I’m afraid it’s one of those phrases that is going to end up meaning the opposite of what it should. Like literally. It used to literally drive me up the wall when people used language incorrectly. But then I realized that…

And I totally want her little plaid 90's dress.

Unrelated, but for your viewing/listening pleasure:

I need an option for “Ew. Why are you making me contemplate this?”

Meh. I could also give a shit about always using idioms correctly. You knew what I meant.

The family dog was also shot to death.

Yeah. I don’t usually look at that stuff, but I thought, how bad could a missing finger tip be? I didn’t even hesitate, when it was like, “warning! gruesome photo.”

maybe another reason to have a woman president... less rape...

I agree with everything you say. I don’t really know what else to say. The piece by Katie is really well done and very even-handed. The whole thing really is troubling. But so is the obvious appropriation of Broaddrick’s story by right-wing conservatives who ordinarily go out of their way to discredit rape survivors.

Agreed. Sometimes, it was like, can you really not help me with this? I’m asking nicely AND I’m paying well?

I spent a semester in England, and as an American I was frequently surprised how often English shop and restaurant owners could give a shit whether you gave them any business. I was at a restaurant once with a small group of other American students, one of whom was completely insufferable. After complaining several…

Me too! I keep 538 on a tab on my phone and desktop.

Yeah, I think you could compare it to Native American stuff. Some Native Americans don’t have a problem selling “dream catchers” and “medicine bags” to dumb tourists. Some do, and I have to respect that.

I’ve seen speculation that his predictions of voter fraud are actually helping to cause his numbers to go down. His percentage of “likely voters” has been decreasing sharply recently. Dumbass!
