Wow, a bunch of rich, white right-wingers want to escape the consequences for their repeated bad decisions? Shocker.

This! If Trump ends up crippling the Republican Party for good, he will have performed such a valuable public service that we should call for putting him on stamps and naming schools and government buildings after him.

I've gotta think that Wisconsin's paltry economic recovery under Scott Walker and the Flint water crisis in Republican-governed Michigan should doom lots of Republican hopes in those states.

I'm open-minded enough not to dismiss that assertion out of hand, but I'm not going to sift through seasons 12—infinity to find them. I might enjoy an anthology of these purported gems someday.

Thank you for making me snort as I laughed at this!

Your parenthetical there really encapsulates everything I've ever understood about gun nutz, preppers, gold-hoarders, and Trump supporters: they are, by every measure important in our modern world, losers; and they fantasize about the end of this world, naively believing that their AR-15s and seed vault will allow

My God, that was terrible. I've lived through twelve recessions, eight panics, and five years of McKinley-nomics — but this just makes me want to jump off the top of that escalator to nowhere.
