At times, I wonder what it means to ‘be in the closet.’ Not necessarily in terms of our ordinary conceptions of that term (though that as well) but the parts of ourselves that — perhaps because they are so vital to whom we are — we keep hidden.

We just got back from the Dallas march. At the end of the march, our kiddo was a little overheated and overstimulated (he is on the spectrum, so the noise was getting to him), so we decided to rest by the rally, in the shade. A lot of other people had the same idea, but it wasn’t as crowded and noisy there.
Everything…

Bible Thumper.

I feel like today is the first shot across the bow for a coming war.

And therein lies the problem.

Having previously been one, I can confidently say that teenagers are fucking morons. I’m all for raising the age.

I do not need fashion. I have this fabric, which I think will be my life now:

Somewhat off-topic, but mention of that State Dept report reminded me:

Pot(us) calling Kettle black?

“To be honest, Stalin’s performance of this theme brought us considerably more enjoyment.”

This fucking guy. He’s got those lawyers shitting Twinkies, all right. No way they’re gonna let him go unscripted. Today when he went unscripted he called non-applauding Democrats “like death” and “treasonous”. Who knows what he’d end up blurting in front of Mueller. But the optics of him pussing put after bragging…

Winner winner chicken dinner

Trump isn’t an outlier of the Republican Party, he’s a symptom of it.

I think the easiest way to understand it is to look at any article involving the Michigan State sexual assault case and read the comments from Michigan State fans blindly defending their institution. Now, imagine that instead, it’s fans of Republicanism defending their team.

Casting Hitler as some sort of demonic avatar of evil has been one of the worst, most harmful consequences of the general mystique surrounding the Second World War in popular consciousness. It has both provided succour to neo-Nazis who look up to him, and allowed ‘normal’ people to dismiss or deny any realities that…

That’s because they’ve given in to this. 45 is what they want. Its what they’ve been told to want for the last 40 years. This started with Nixon’s Republicans, this will end with 45's 60 million followers. 1/3rd of the voting public. He’s got them going, you can see it.

Solid gold? No, like most things in the Trump realm, they’re quite cheap, with a gaudy gold veneer.

Wait, nothing about how the Dutch secret service hacked the Russian hackers who hacked the DNC?

I prefer to give women like this my attention.

How is the owner a bad guy?
