People have been since the 90s. And Stern has always had the good sense to not deny he said things there are recordings of him saying, nor to insult everyone’s intelligence by claiming he didn’t mean the things he said. He also has had the sense to not run for president. No one is arguing Howard Stern isn’t an…

Not going to disagree, but it still doesn’t explain his sudden inability to speak in sentences.

Fantastic.

As someone who has spent plenty of time on public transportation unable to block out stultifyingly dumb conversations held three times louder than is appropriate, I absolutely got where you were coming from.

I’ve absolutely tried to do that. My grandmother suffered from dementia, and continued to be the sweetest lady who ever lived, although she lost the filter that had previously told her “don’t tell your (adult) grandchildren dirty jokes.” But having spent a lot of time in nursing home units and around people with…

She mostly praised his kids for being loyal to him which, in itself, struck me as a back-handed compliment. She wasn’t exactly effusive about how great the kids are. But I’ll admit that was a pretty one-sided question, and she was great thinking on her feet coming up with an answer, because I wouldn’t have had one.…

First off, sorry to hear you are dealing with a parent with dementia. That is a tough road, and I wish you the best in dealing with it.

My partner’s family are all soft-spoken, very serious, very emotionally unavailable Christians and he really doesn’t know how to deal with my emotive, opinionated, anti-authority, atheist family, and the loud ass hearing-impairments just makes it worse. It took him over half a decade to realize we aren’t all…

Often. I get your point and mostly agree with it. But may I offer an exception for those of us who are hearing impaired and often can’t tell how loud we are? Most of the people in my family are deaf or some degree of hard of hearing, and I promise that though we are loud as fuck, we are not actually that dumb.

My assumption has always been that Melania has been impatiently waiting to “age out” of her position, and be given a generous parting gift to make way for Donald’s next victim. I mean, she’s now five years older than Ivana was when he divorced her, and I can’t help but wonder if Melania figured he would have traded…

Reagan’s presidency was a lot like that. He was completely uninterested in leading, and to people in the know, it wasn’t entirely clear who it was who was running the country, because it definitely wasn’t Reagan.  

This is apparently how a bunch of evangelicals have been able to justify their support of Trump to themselves: they’re pretty sure God will take care of the situation somehow - impeachment, death, whatever - putting true believer Pence at the helm. And that’s exactly why Pence ended up in that position.

I was taught to type that way in 1995. The superfluous space always seemed weird to me and I stopped doing it the moment I ceased to be marked on it, the same way I stopped cursive writing the moment teachers stopped requiring it.

The biggest problem, even bigger than the idea that he would only assault 10s, is the fact that if you follow his instructions and actually “look at her” Natasha Stoynoff is an attractive woman. So his rebuttal fails on all sides.

Warning - somewhat predictably, this contains descriptions of sexual assault.

He now seems to be in a full-on Amanda Bynes style meltdown where down is up, up is down, inappropriate sexual comments are made via twitter, any attractive woman deemed a threat is declared “ugly,” and a 51-50 order probably should have happened about a year ago.

What in the hell is Katrina Pierson going to do after the campaign is over? She’s repeatedly made herself a laughingstock, and for what? Even Fox News has higher standards than that.

Man, the moment I saw that he had trotted out women who had made accusations against Bill Clinton for an exploitative press conference and then to be in the audience of a debate where he denied ever sexually assaulting anyone, I KNEW it was going to force the hand of a bunch of women he’d assaulted to come forward. I…

For sexual predators, most of the enjoyment comes not from the sexual activity itself, but from the predation: the domination, the lack of consent. It’s like flashers - the sexual pleasure comes less from exposing themselves to other people than from exposing themselves to people who do not want to see them naked.…

He didn’t do opposition research on himself because a) he has no idea how to run a political campaign and b) I still maintain he never had any intention to go the distance with the whole running for president thing, it’s just that his legend of himself doesn’t include quitting or dropping out, so all along the plan…
