What happened to make them give a fuck about the world? Maybe that they had kids? Trey Parker has a three year old daughter. Matt Stone is married to a black woman and has two kids with her. That might have given them both some additional perspective on whether it mattered if Trump won.

Wouldn’t it be funny if he started vetoing their shit willy-nilly for attention?

So much this. I am friends with some self-described communists on Facebook and they keep spewing this garbage about how Bernie Sanders would have beat Trump. In a country where most of the population use the term “liberal” as an insult, there was no chance in hell of Bernie Sanders ever winning the presidency,

So President-Elect Decaying Jack O Lantern? In our household we were so looking forward to not having to constantly hear about the guy we’re apparently supposed to treat with respect despite the fact that he treats no one with respect, that we won’t say his name anymore. All hail president Voldemort.

I was just thinking this morning that maybe Dolezal was ahead of her time realizing that what the world needs most is fewer white people.

I am white, but I don’t think I would want someone with such poor critical thinking skills caring for my (hypothetical) kids. Anyone who actually bought the media misinformation about Trump and Hillary being equally bad seem like the sort of person who, if approached by a stranger who claims they are the child’s uncle

Seth Meyers did a bit last night where he talked about the fact that one small consolation is that, as horrible as the shit Trump has said is, he has held literally every possible policy position on every issue, and he could switch back to reasonable ones.

Apparently that’s what a bunch of evangelicals have been praying for, and how they justified voting for obvious heathen Trump: they think it’s God’s plan to “remove” the barrier to truly godly leader Pence’s ascension to the presidency. Which is to say, they are praying for Trump to die.

Pence is worse in his entrenchment in the most regressive possible policy positions (vs. Trump who does not actually have any positions and therefore might be able to be convinced to not do stupid things if he sees public opinion leaning the other way). But Trump is worse in how completely unpredictable and reckless

They have no plans to govern. They think if they just un-do everything Obama did over the past eight years, suddenly everything will become wonderful (like it was when GW was president?)

Haha - a self-branding guru calls herself a punk? Words really don’t have meanings any longer.

Haha. I imagine it’s an emperor wears no clothes situation where the hairdresser convinced her it looks good and her long-suffering employees, instead of worrying about angering her, take perverse joy in her delusion. Except that one clueless woman in HR, who keeps trying to tell her while everyone else goes

I had that exact same haircut in Grade 4. That was when we agreed, as a family, that mom should stop cutting my hair.

She’s not a real boss, apparently she’s a “girl boss”

As someone who has done accounts payable for a sketchy boutique owner in the past, I read that as Nasty Gal being 3 weeks late with payment and insisting the company wait another 4 to 6 weeks. Because most vendors do not contact a company about payment until it is due/late. I thought that was just implied here.

Honestly, when I saw he won, bolstered by a severely misguided working class, the first thing to come to mind was those fairy tales where people are granted a wish by a genie or wizard or whatever, with terrible results because they failed to think their wish through or word it specifically enough.

I’m always curious about couples like this. While my partner and I obviously disagree about things, a basic foundation of my relationship is our sense of shared core values. So when I hear about couples whose political differences are sufficiently deep that they cannot talk about politics I just... don’t understand

Maybe she’ll use this as her opportunity to escape while he’s too distracted with Presidentin’ to fight her too much in a divorce. Not that he’s listened to his PR people for more than a day or two at a time before, but you gotta think the communications staff recommendation would be to give her whatever she wants and

You can’t pardon someone who has neither committed a crime, nor been convicted of committing a crime. All you can do is talk calmly and slowly to the incoming despot and hopefully convince him to not throw his political rivals in jail because he wants to impress Alex Jones.

Stupidity, then? Because if they think their economic situation is going to get better with Donald fucking Trump at the helm, they are in for the dust-bowl-y shock of their lives. This election will almost undoubtedly led to another global recession.
