The GOP changed the rules so they can run another primary before the new election. So they’ve basically got away with cheating. The consequences of this decision don’t appear to be nearly severe enough. Try to cheat, get caught, jettison tainted candidate, try again. Seems like that would encourage cheating, not…

Wow, being in a frat sounds like fun.

The right response is “Are you saying that none of the women you’ve slept with over the years have ever had an abortion? We know you refuse to use contraception, and you’ve boasted many times about all the women you’ve slept with.”

Also, apparently, one in five average Annas have a “serious” porn addiction...so on average, one in five women has a serious porn addiction (because Anna is average, after all). I guess it’s all in the definition of “serious” and “addiction”.

I wish you could have included Trump’s original tweet about the fires, instead of the update. Describing an area of trees as a “Forrest” twice (and capitalizing it both times) really makes clear the level of stable genius we’re dealing with here.

I learned today that it’s possible for a music video to be so crass that it’s actually funny.  Also, get off my lawn.

My first thoughts on seeing the photo and age. He is doing a fine job in making us feel good about ourselves.  Long may it continue!
