Given that Germany was actually governed by the Nazi Party before Merkel was born, I don’t think she’s a “root cause” of right-wing German politics.

All day I’ve been reading the Tomi Lahren headlines as, “Woman Lies Down With Dogs, Gets Fleas”

Genuinely curious as someone who has never shaved either. Why shave pits before legs?

Same

Me, too.

I agree. Public notoriety as a fraud tends to reduce job prospects dramatically. I feel for her kids for many reasons.

No joke. I have very progressive politics and mostly post them under my own name. If I pay significant career consequences for them, can I reach out to you directly or does your compassion only extend to scolding?

It’s odd that she can’t find a job.

I’m hoping for the incompetence to counteract the malice in fun ways.

I like your plan.

I don’t see our national production of “Caligula + Nukes” making it to a third act. He’d be 78 and he seems like a time bomb what with the dementia. But if that doesn’t get him the nuclear winter will.

I never bought it when people said Bush hired competent people. But compared to THIS I guess I’ve been forced to concede the point.

It’s still so bizarre to me that people voted for a recovering alcoholic for president... because they’d rather have a beer with him.

He says all those things about his background but I don’t believe him. He says he’s gay just before he says something wildly homophobic or plays up a stereotype almost 100% of the time, just like how he claims to be Jewish (which he isn’t) just before saying something antisemitic. Maybe it’s just having more…

How so?

He’s not gay. Just like Amos ‘n’ Andy weren’t black.

FWIW, I think “flap control” is pretty clever.

That’s fair. But at a certain point, they’ll get an audience no matter what. Maybe it’s better to have at least one interview that inoculates people against their arguments rather than letting them control the scene.

I actually like Chris Hayes, and I felt like he let them talk through their own absurdity in that interview.

I’m horrified that the most normal behavior exhibited by this administration to date is that the NSA was caught communicating with Russia during the campaign and resigned.
