He comprehends it very well — he just doesn’t plan to adhere to it. He’s made his own rules his whole life, and look where it’s gotten him. Enough people voted for him to make him President. Why would he start adhering to rules and standards now?

The issue isn’t so much the short term, but PE45 has said he does plan to spend as much time at his NYC home and not the White House as he can, specifically mentioning the weekends. He has no idea that the job he just got is 24/7 for the next 4 years. No 9-5 gig or weekends off. He doesn’t comprehend that the…

The mayor of Portland has vowed the same, as has the mayor of San Jose. I’m sure there are more, but this is an awesome hot-take on the age old republican mantra of giving power back to the states and municipalities...ohhh so now you mean that was just a dog-whistle to be able to enact bigoted laws that you want…

LAPD said that they would not be participating in any deportation that has been demanded by Trump.

I’m being completely serious and not engaging in wishful thinking here — but, honestly, does ANYONE think Donnie is going to be able to hack this for four years? For even one year? Six months?!

I don’t understand how this is even a thing. Like, there is a house set up for him in DC and everything. The area around it is already secured, no one gets disrupted. And we are used to the occasional inconvenience from motorcades (although we would not be happy with daily fucking motorcades taking him back and forth…

New Yorkers: get yourself an IDNYC card! They get you awesome discounts at a ton of entertainment venues throughout the city, and that way anyone who tries to use it to snuff out vulnerable people will be buried in data! http://www1.nyc.gov/site/idnyc/index.page

I hope to see more politicians and leaders like de Blasio remain stringent when it comes to addressing Trump.

In the wake of Trump’s election, de Blasio is reportedly considering eliminating the program and destroying the database of New Yorkers’ personal information, rather than being forced to turn that information over to federal law enforcement or immigration authorities.

Go de Blasio! I especially love this:

New Rule: Empathy Is A Criminal Offence

I’ll say it if nobody else will.

Sooner or later, people are going to figure out that the South and IA, KAS, OK, TX, MT, etc are still really fucking racist. And yet, we care about the Iowa caucus, we care about what rural voters in WV think; every election we have to endure endless speculation about what those backwards fucks think. I do not care;…

“My comment was not intended to be racist at all...”

But! Exclamation! Points! After! Every! Sentence! Highlight! My! Sincerity! And! Totally! Credit! My! Position!

These are the type of people, I’ve recently come to realize, who think they aren’t being racist because they aren’t overtly claiming they hate black people, and aren’t out lynching anyone.

If you refer to a black person as an “ape” there is no way in HELL you are not being racist. I’m sorry. This is not a case of “you misread my comment thooo.” It’s blatant racism.

which is remarkably funny, because melania totally aped the first lady’s speech, in heels.

My current favorite!

Pillow fort is one of the few words that has made me smile since Wednesday. ❤️ My favorite image is of Hillary walking in the woods. She’s my hero now. Dare I hope she’s genuinely as happy as the looks on that walk?
