And this is the problem with admonishing statements about how not all Trump voters are racist, and it’s counter-productive to say so. Not all Trump voters are actively white nationalist, Klan members, neo-nazis, and the sort of people who paint swastikas on churches or beat people up due to their ethnicity. But people

It seems like a lot of people in Trump’s inner circle are dealing with untreated mental health issues and early onset dementia. Guiliani was never a great guy, but he wasn’t previously a crazy-eyed gibberish factory. He’s moved past asshole to something seemingly pathological.

As a white woman - cosigned. We are the problem, it turns out. Fuck white people.

Precisely. I feel like anyone who has dedicated themselves to a career of public service when they could be doing other things must be rethinking whether they actually want to serve a public who would elect Trump to office. I’m sure lots of people who could be making ten times more money elsewhere are going to go,

Haha. A week ago I would have declared no, aghast at my lack of qualifications. Hell, I was asked to run for office at the provincial level when I was younger and refused on that basis. But, yeah, sure, I would. I know, with certainty, I would do a much better job than Trump. Take away the nationality issue and I’m

I feel like Reince Preibus is probably sitting through a lot of meetings this week feeling like he’s taking crazy pills as the only one in the room currently interacting with reality.

I’m not American, have never lived in the U.S. and clearly have a far better sense of how the American government works than the person who is now in charge of it. We live in a very strange world.

Well, honestly 100% of undocumented immigrants have a criminal background, because undocumented immigration is illegal. Still, that doesn’t make them rapists and horrible people. And he was talking about ALL Mexican immigrants, not just undocumented immigrants.

He definitely has the “college professor on a leave of absence for mental health issues” look DOWN pat.

I’ve been waiting for a terrified, mumbling Hope Hicks to have her first press conference as Press Secretary.

He called Mexican immigrants rapists, and said a judge was unable to do his job properly because his parents are Mexican.

Stupid people should be called stupid until they realize they are stupid and do something to rectify the situation. I’ve done the whole holding their hands and trying to understand their racist perspectives thing, and it accomplishes nothing.

I have no personal experience with Ben Carson but, given the high level at which he used to operate as a surgeon, and the low level at which he can currently communicate, I’ve also assumed he experienced some sort of brain injury. I feel bad for him, but his brain does not appear to be operating properly. He should

Everyone who voted for Trump supports racism and thinks it’s okay for the president of the country to be a racist. How, exactly, is supporting and accepting racism different from being racist? Lower-level than joining the Klan obviously, but actively supporting racism and racist policies means a person is a racist.

I live in Canada and have started seeing Ivanka Trump items at Marshalls-like discount stores, where I’d never seen them before. My hope is this is a sign that the Trump businesses are imploding as a result of this political campaign. It’s a small consolation for the coming shitstorm, but it’s something. I’d feel a

Yeah, I felt bad for Barron watching him on stage after Trump won. He looked shell-shocked and uncomfortable. This is not a case like the Obama girls where they have a close relationship with their father and would have had discussions about what would happen if he won, and how that would change their lives. Trump

The Republicans aren’t pro-Israel because they like Jewish people, they’re pro-Israel because they’re a strategic ally in the Middle East, and because there is a biblical passage that says that Israel needs to exist for the rapture to happen, so the evangelicals in the Republican base are VERY pro-Israel.

You think there are protests now, wait until an entire block of Manhattan needs to be locked down for security reasons for 4 years.

Yeah, Pence is a guy who claimed smoking isn’t bad for you. Like.... recently. I think we’ve merely scratched the surface with how fucked up and delusional Pence is. I really can’t tell which of them is worse.
