Didn't he volunteer to be waterboarded at some point? Why did that never happen?

The paid protester thing is so crazy to me. Is it really that difficult to understand that half the country is justifiably worried about the upcoming horrorshow that is a Trump presidency? Do they really think we'd need to be paid to demonstrate against it? And do they really not get that this is literally what the…

Remember, Romney didn't just trash Trump to the general public - he trashed Trump to other rich people. I have a feeling that will put him out of the running.

you really are a piece of crap.

I mean. I know more about how government works than T's children because I paid attention in AP Government in high school.

Thanks to everyone for making this space - I've mentioned before that I'm in a really conservative area and don't have many opportunities to talk with like-minded people IRL. Thanks for making me laugh and keeping me sane. I'll meet you guys on the other side of this tomorrow. <3

I will never get over Lane Pryce. :(

Please let this man lose.

I've had a knot in my stomach all week. Even putting myself on a media blackout hasn't helped. Like, in my heart, I know we'll be okay somehow, but this last week has been excruciating.

What does it take to get an account banned around here?? I haven't blocked J bc his comments need flagging, but the continual obsession with violent imagery is beyond disturbing.
