Literally everything since Trump announced his candidacy in the summer of 2015 has been historic. Not good, but definitely of interest to future scholars. 

I think this is defensible strategy. The public is stupid. Call me condescending all you want, but I read the polling data. I know precisely how vapid the American public can be, and just how irrational and ignorant their engagement with politics can be. People have short attention spans, are easily misled, push…

Wait . . . Did he ACTUALLY say he thinks Clinton’s Emails might be in the Ukraine?!?!? That’s fucking SNL shit right there!

Can guarantee you every boomer maga dipshit in his office right now is like; “yeah, you know, there should be a way to unsend an email”

God, I wish I could fully enjoy this. I wish I could revel in this utter stupidity and incompetence and absurdity. I wish I could just bathe in the schadenfreude without that pessimistic voice in the back of my head staring out the window distractedly and softly whispering, “none of this matters, you know.”

Unfortunately the Trump administration only allows staffers to use @aol.com addresses.

Anyone still wanna go with the “their playing 4-dimensional chess” angle?

BREAKING:

It gets so much better;

It’s general policy for everyone in shootings.  They aren’t aren’t armed or on duty.  Military bases have the same procedure as offices and schools for active shooters.

Ok?
