Yes, exactly. I don’t think he’s ever been a good guy, or a pleasant guy, but he used to be coherent.

I had a paper route when I was a kid. There was one wealthy family on the route, one really poor guy (who literally lived in a tar paper shack), and the rest were regular working class/lower middle class people. Tar paper shack guy only got the paper once a week for the TV listings, and was my best tipper. The rich

I`ve never understood the weird hatred for Anne Hathaway, but I think it, in part, stems from the sense that she`s insincere. Also, there is some very peripheral rumbling that she is a closeted lesbian, that maybe fuels some of the hate? I’ve never really understood why people dislike her so much - she seems equally

I once had cotton candy made from maple sugar, so it was light amber beige and - yeah - looked exactly like Trump’s hair. It was outrageously delicious, and I would eat it again if I ever got the chance.

Yeah, I remember the days when adjunct positions were used to bring in people with real life experience who didn’t necessarily have the academic bona fides, to round out degree programs versus a cost-saving mechanism. My dad taught as an adjunct with only a BSc, but he had very diverse professional experience that

I actually looked her up. She’s worked there as an adjunct for a year or two, which means part-time, contract-based, and not much of a screening process to make sure she’s not crazy, or that she’ll “fit the culture in the department.” Also Math is a field where politics are highly unlikely to come up. From what I saw

It’s really weird, because I actually have compared older interview and speaking clips of Trump with contemporary ones, and the opposite of what she says is true. There is a marked difference. Not when comparing Hillary, however. Even Trump’s supporters have started doing that weird projecting thing that he does.

The recent Newsweek story about his lack of business acumen claimed the only reason he got the contract for the DC hotel is that every other chain dropped out when he inflated the bidding to the point that everyone else decided it would be impossible to make any profit at the cost. So, you know, an excellent business

I also think a lot of these people will lose interest in hearing the same rants day in and day out when they no longer think supporting Trump will lead them to their new, white revolution. If he’s just another pundit, who the fuck cares.

I understand that, my point is more that I think the audience for whom Fox News is too liberal is not actually large enough to support another whole news network, certainly not one that does as well as Fox News does. They’re a disturbing group of people, and disturbingly large, but I think they remain a fairly fringe

I have not seen a single journalistic news outlet picturing Trump with a Hitler mustache - that sounds like something that might have appeared on a joke post on Gawker, but definitely not on, say WAPO or the NYT. So I’m not sure what sources you are looking at, but they’re not anything I’m seeing.

All of the children are in danger. Pedophiles who prey on pre-pubescent children often do not have a gender preference because kids that young have so little sexual differentiation.

I heard a story about a local community near me where there was a man who everyone knew was abusing his wife and then - poof - he just disappeared one day. And then suddenly there was one guy in the community who everyone thought was a fucking hero and they elected him mayor. The rumor was always that the goodwill was

My husband is an archivist and a significant part of their jobs is staving off bugs and vermin. Mostly they’re just protecting piles of paper. Keeping mice and bugs away from a hoarde of jellybeans has got to be a challenge.

A smart narcissist would be able to come up with seemingly rational, and often believable, explanations for why they are right. Trump can’t even string together a coherent sentence. Being a narcissist and being dumb are not mutually exclusive. Trump is not a smart guy.

Would he have a massive audience, though? He’s been saying the same five or six things on a loop for two years now and the only reason people keep paying attention is the very real risk that he could end up in office. It’s just like a trainwreck that doesn’t stop. I think most people are sick of him, and will stop

Normally I’d agree, but I think with a guy like Trump her approach is the only one that works. If you try to slug it out with a guy like that, he’ll lie, he’ll insult, as low as you’re willing to go, as loud as you’re willing to get, he’ll go lower and louder. No one can out-aggressive Trump, and it’s a mistake to

He definitely still did some sniffing, but it was dramatically reduced. I didn’t notice him do it until around 20 minutes in. And even then, it seemed quieter and less frequent. I think he actually prepped (a little) for this debate and a lot of the prep was trying to get him out of the habit of sniffing like that

I hate that the left-leaning media feel the need to overstate things in Trump’s favour to make it look like they’re “unbiased.” Even if all of the things the Breitbart set say about Hillary were true, she would STILL be a far more fit candidate for president than Trump is.

I’m stuck wondering if his writing staff don’t realize that “the gold standard” does not mean “the best,” or if they’re intentionally courting those far right folks who think U.S. Dollars should be backed by precious metals.
