It, just like heaven, is.

Are you talking about me? I feel like you're talking about me.

I think you're completely right—to outline the thought process, it's "I hate Hillary, she hates these deplorable people, ergo I either am or should be what Hillary considers 'deplorable.'" I don't know how you go from that (which seems to require the self-indemnifying awareness of a Batman villain) to being offended…

Oh yeah, I love watching my friends proudly own the label "nasty woman," because Trump said that specifically to attack and discount. Calling racism and blinded party loyalty "deplorable" isn't an attack, though; it's a fact. I can't imagine what Hillary Clinton thought when people demanded an apology. Obama's "bitter…

It's insane—I would expect most people, when they hear "50% of Trump voters are deplorable" to go "shit, glad I'm not in that 50%!" But nope: so many people are willing to wear that label if it means they're diametrically opposed to Secretary Clinton.

Yeah, I try to be empathetic and at least understand intellectually why someone would feel the need to vote for Trump, but it takes a lot of creative thinking. I say we split the difference and accept that we have deplorable tendencies, it's just most of us don't extend that to the politicians we support who will end…

The rush to brand one's self as "deplorable" is fascinating—I heard a woman on NPR practically in tears because Hillary called her "deplorable." No, dude, she called 50% of the trumpen proletariat "deplorable:" the racists and frog brigade and trollbabies. The fact that you lumped yourself into that group immediately…

There's also a great one of them leaning over the same cardinal in what looks like a heated talk while the cardinal stares forward with a vaguely detached, Gunshow-esque "this is fine" look on his face.

And then replaced with an identical Trump while I'm at the third grade play!? No thank you.

Nikki Haley is horrific—her apparent reasonableness is what allows her to operate at a level of efficiency that will have a decades-long impact on SC.

The Bunk and his dramatic foil, Proposition Joe. I'm a sucker for competent but flawed people in an incompetent system.

Vegan hell is Texan heaven. In heaven, everything is meat/In heaven, everything is meat/In heaven, everything is meat/You've got your T-bone/Let's fucken eat.

Yeah, today I've read this op-ed and watched the FLOTUS' response to Trump's bile—it's making me nostalgic for the present and hopeful for decades of nonpolitical Obamas to come.

How soon is fuck?

<thebunk>"Motherfucker."</thebunk>

"'fuck did I do?"

Humorously, it's been bolstered significantly by Twitter, so this is not too shocking.

Yeah, this might be terrible, but the poster (link) owns.

Yeah, exactly—there's a kind of meaningful and bleak comfort in imagining a conspiracy that goes all the way to the top!. I have some sympathy for people who believe, say, that 9/11 was a government-planned controlled demolition; the alternative—that free agents succeeded in a massive plot through human error and by…
