More like Obama couldn’t cover every single presidential duty and detail of global politics in a couple short meetings which is why Presidents are supposed to have experience and knowledge.

My dad used to have physio with a circus clown, and he was definitely a much more serious and thoughtful guy than Trump is.

I have to dig pretty deep, but I can. My old downstairs neighbor damaged her brain so much from long-term alcoholism that she would just randomly have seizures on a semi-regular basis. She and her son would regularly get into screaming matches, throwing shit at each other on the lawn, during which she would blame him…

I don’t think it’s a likeable and sympathetic portrayal, because she is always portrayed as an enabling babysitter-type character who is ultimately to blame for Trump having been elected. My assumption has been that the intention of the SNL portrayal is pure schadenfreude. It’s more enjoyable to ignore the more likely…

The worst part of that suggestion is that Alec Baldwin would legitimately make a better president than the actual president-elect. I have a difficult time thinking of anyone who would make a worst president than the guy who is going to be president. I mean, I think Pauly Shore would do a better job than Trump will.…

Are there juries in divorce court?

He was so incoherent and inconsistent that people projected whatever they wanted to hear onto him. Lots of “well, what he meant was...” and “clearly he doesn’t mean that” delusion. The NY Times had a whole article about people in Florida who depend on Obamacare and yet voted for Trump, falsely assuming he was lying…

I think it’s for legal purposes. Atheism isn’t a religion. But by attaching a funny theological name (that - bonus - offends and freaks out the overreaching Evangelicals they’re fighting) to their atheism, their beliefs are automatically protected by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. For all intents and purposes…

A friend of mine is a mall Santa and has been every year for a long time. He has two nieces whose parents bring them to get a Santa photo taken at the mall every year, waiting for the year when the girls finally realize Santa is their uncle. One is a teenager now and they still haven’t figured it out. Clearly not very…

The prepper people with stockpiles of food are quickly starting to look reasonable. But then, it was a self-fulfilling prophesy with them, because they’re the sort of people who voted Trump in. Some people will do anything to be right.

His voters are too stupid to realize this is dangerous.

He’ll probably try, since it will get him a lot of attention, which is the only reason he does anything. But the moment he tries to get on a plane to North Korea is the moment the Secret Service puts an ether soaked rag over his mouth and drags him back to the White House residence to chill the fuck out.

It’s essentially like he’s daring the Electoral College to go rogue by being as reckless as humanly possible. He’s technically not been voted president yet.

I’m sorry you went through all of that and I hope you’re doing better now. It’s great you were able to be assertive enough to make what sounds like the right decision for yourself and your family by holding your dad responsible for his actions. I have two friends with wildly abusive fathers who continue to dote on…

Trump seems to hire wildly inept lawyers. Like the guy who argued in court that spousal rape doesn’t exist, and needed to be corrected by the judge. That guy still works for Trump all these years later. The idea he hires “the best people” is hilarious.

Nevermind the fact that he only did something about those particular jobs because he saw himself being called out on TV for saying something he admits he didn’t mean, and has no memory of saying. Seriously watch the clip/read the transcript in this article:

If you donate for cancer research, perhaps look into the types of cancer with the lowest survival rate. Not because they’re necessarily worse than other types of cancer, but there is a bit of a survivor bias with cancer research money, where cancers with higher survivor rates have more survivors raising funds directed…

Almost without exception, the only way to become a billionaire ethically is to inherit the money. No one needs a billion dollars, and if they have a billion dollars it is almost certainly because they did things that took advantage of other people. That’s just sort of how capitalism works. Even Warren Buffett, who…

Drain the wetland and replace it with a toxic waste dump.
