You definitely have a point. I do believe, however, that putting a diagnosis on things, amateur as it may be, does have a power of its own. I’ll also add that I can’t imagine diagnosing doing this for many others- I wouldn’t diagnose the lizard-ly Ted Cruz, or the terminally lazy George W Bush. Trump is another story.…

You didn’t answer my question. A public figure is constantly, publicly pukingly and destructively drunk- do you think they just need to reign themselves in?

It’s not beside the point. As pundit after citizen after Paul Wolfowitz have proclaimed, this guy is one of a kind. If someone were puking drunk and wrecking stuff every time you saw them, wouldn’t it be your instinct to decide maybe things were out of their control?

His behavior is just so beyond the bounds of anything I’ve ever seen in a serious candidate.

You do not get it.

I’ve seen a lot of folks express disapproval of laypeople offering their diagnosis of Trump, but I believe it’s a necessary thing to do, to point out the degree of wrongness we detect in the man reaches levels your typical, wildly unpleasant candidate simply doesn’t come close to.

Luckily for me, I believe I am owed several million dollars and because I believe it, it's true right?

FWIW, I’m with you. It’s a tactic that could be used by any person rich enough with big enougha grudge against any news source. It’s something that should worry the press waaayyy beyond Gawker.

Nop. You’re wrong. It’s a really important issue and if you can’t see it, too bad. Billionaires funding wars on media via proxy lawsuits is a crime against society buddy. Hate gawker all you want, the principle is a vital one.

The GOP will cut off their nose to spite their face. They’ll continue stonewalling any appointee because they have to try to save face and seem “moderate/stoic” for their electorate as a buffer against their support of Trump.

Don’t forget, we only got the vote in 1919.

I’m waiting for someone else to say Yay, Hillary! so that they can shoulder the brunt of the anger and conspiracy theories.

In less than a month it will have been 240 years since America declared its independence and this country began. In those 240 years there has not been a single woman as a presidential nominee of a major party. ABOUT GODDAMN TIME.
