You’re reminding me that I forgot to eat lunch today... so, a Kind bar and my six year old’s graham crackers it is! At least there’s orange chicken in the crockpot.

During the worst bits of the first 100 days I watched a whole lot of Billy on the Street. Try it - watching Billy Eichner scream at passers by about Cher is like an elixir for the Twitter-addled soul.

I agree. We don’t know. It’s terrible and catastrophic, but it’s going to be a long time before we figure it out. But the bar starts pretty high to beat out Bush, is all. I hope for all of our sakes that Trump doesn’t outdo the competition in the years to come.

I’d still take 100,000 people not dead over any level of psychological Trump damage. The question is how many lives Trump will claim as list or ruined. We don’t know yet.

I had mine at 39. My BFF was 45. It wasn’t the quickest route in either case, but our kids are 6 and 7 now. Let hope live!

The House is going to refuse to go along with the McConnell deal, even if Mitch goes against character and actually keeps a promise. They’re all going to wait until they can actually start deporting people, so they can extort more restrictive immigration concessions out of the Democrats once the Dreamers have their…

lol you spend all your time on a liberal website trying to pick fights with strangers for attention. Please, make yourself happier. I believe 100% you can do something better with your life.

IT’S SO GOOD.

Fuck this guy for hating sharks. Every now and then I find out something that makes me have a sort of solar flare of hatred that shoots way above my day-to-day baseline white-hot hatred of Trump. His dumb ass wanting to kill all the sharks for no good reason is definitely a solar hate flare for me. I wish I could feed…

Oliver Willis on Twitter has an amazing Twitter novel unfolding right now in which Mother is part of a secret cabal of women (along with Hillary, Barbara Bush, Rosalynn Carter and Michelle) who stage a violent revolution with Oprah at their helm. Oprah clutches a jade skull much of the time, which is a nice touch.…

You don’t have to have a good plan for it to still be collusion, though, do you? You just need to accept material support (including in-kind support.) If a foreign agent comes to you and says “Our country would like to give you XYZ assistance to influence a US election” and you say “Fantastic, when do we start?” it’s…

The mainstream media has a lot to answer for in how it handled the Birther story. None of them advocated directly that Obama could be a secret Kenyan. But every mainstream media outlet gave a huge amount of coverage to reporting on the story of Birtherism, and because they seemed at that time to have a congenital…

This. I was expecting some kind of sweeping indictment, not just a bullet list of retreads that Trump has been whining about for months. I think it ended up being a sad page on GOP.com and not something more involved because Walt Shaub scared them into not using government resources for it in the form of WH staff time…

It’s so fucked up. There’s one electoral vote per 180,000 voters in Wyoming, but in California, they get only 1 per 680,000 voters. But it’s in the Constitution, so to get rid of it, 2/3 of the states would have to sign off on an amendment switching to the popular vote, and only about a third of states get electorally…

Trump did not win by a landslide at all. Hillary Clinton handily won the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes (a fact that chaps Trump’s pockmarked ass to this day.) Unfortunately, it didn’t matter because the US determines the winner of the Presidency via the electoral college, wherein an arcane and outdated…

It’s not just online death threats and rape threats and harassment and doxxing - it can extend to in-real-life harassment, too. She could be putting herself in genuine danger.

I’ll disagree there. His stupidity is a huge problem, but his racism and just his all-around malignancy is by far a bigger deal. Gerald Ford was stupid but benign, so his gaffes eclipsed his misdeeds, and the country wasn’t instantly on the verge of burning to the goddamn ground like it is now. If anything, we should…

I’m happily eating leftovers of the single best dinner dish I have ever made, which was the chicken pot pie recipe from the Hoosier Mama Book of Pie. I was sure there was no way this pie could live up to the ridiculous amount of labor it took to make it - everything was from scratch, so it took me 3 days to make 2 of…

It seems like there are quite a few of us - maybe if there were more women lifted out of the long-term grays, the dudebro contingent would make up a smaller percentage of the regular commentariat, and would be diluted and therefore way less annoying. Maybe there’s hope that the Jez staff could give us better numbers…

This is the most searingly white hot of hot takes. Supernova hot take. The big hot take bang.
