Dear Intentionally Obtuse Person:

The key takeaway is that this is a family of chronic drunks, the father of which has no problem beating his college-aged son for wearing a jersey to a baseball game instead of a suit.

That’s the temperament of a would-be dictator, not a President of the United States.

Fuck Donald Trump…

I have a friend who went to U Penn with Trump Sr. Yes, the one running for President. My friend is an older, East Coast conservative family white man, and he *despises* Trump. He describes Trump as the most despicable, venal human being he has ever met, with no redeeming characteristics.

Maybe he finally got himself into therapy. I can’t imagine Trump allowing him to go to a therapist as a kid. He’d probably call it being a weak loser.

Jesus this is depressing

As someone who was also in college at the same time as Donny Jr. and traveled in similar social circles, I can tell you that there are multiple sources who can confirm the drunken bed wetting problem. Also, as it might not surprise anybody to learn, he was also a frat bro. It was a fraternity that was mostly…

I was at Penn at the same time as Melker. Donnie was indeed a sad sack of a human being who peed everywhere and assaulted everyone. He belonged to the most rape-y of rape-y fraternities and comfortably communicated with his asshat brothers in the misogynist language of his father and...he just sucked. He really did…

One of the things that has depressed me so much during this election is that apparently being completely shameless WORKS. Trump can say something on tv in front of millions of people and then turn around the next day and say “I didn’t say that”. He can lose a debate in every scientific poll then go on twitter and say…

when one person does it, a man, usually, it is seen as being tough and telling it like it is. And if you call them out on it, it is akin to you setting their hair on fire for absolutely no reason.

This drives me nuts...a woman to is educated, intelligent and genuinely caring...and she and Barack are actually in love with each other, and cherish each other and model parents and shit, model adults vs a woman who has a questionable education, speaks broken english which I only bring up because conservatives…

She doesn’t really care if she’s first lady or not. If her husband wasn’t running for president, she’d be living a quiet life of luxury in which she mostly ignores his existence and encourgaes him to find himself girlfriends as long as he keeps them quiet and doesn’t divorce her.

I’m an introvert, so I’m all for spending whole days indoors in comfortable clothes, but robes aren’t comfortable. They flap around your legs without keeping your legs warm. Mine got caught on stuff. To add a layer on my upper body, I prefer a cardigan or a hoodless sweater with a zipper

I’m also perplexed by the “unlikable” narrative. Sure, she’s not Obama cool - but who is? There’s more than a glimmer of a healthy sense of humor, and she seems to really care about having a positive impact, as opposed to just giving it lip service. What’s the deal, d’y’suppose?

Thank you for this comment. I love that your mom is a defense attorney. I respect them to no end. And I’m glad that she’s a tough cookie about it.

I LOVE THIS

My mom did criminal defense for 25 years in DC. She would regularly be called a bitch to her face by prosecutors.

Yeah this is too close to the now tired notion from progressives that if you didn’t say it perfectly, it’s the exact same as getting it entirely wrong.

Facts, reason, logic, and (most importantly) reality have no bearing on the tried and true Trump supporters. I understand the many Republicans who will vote for him simply because he’s their nominee, and having an empty conservative SCOTUS seat, but for those who actually have bought into his campaign’s rhetoric,…

I am afraid of that. People are acting insane. A woman who works at my daughter’s school was confronted in the parking lot of the grocery store because she drives a Toyota and not a Ford. FFS, this guy just walked up to a stranger and angrily demanded for her to justify her car choice.

So, any politicians out there going to call this guy a terrorist? If he was Muslim you know you would. If he had been waving the flag of Islam and then started killing police? You absolutely would. So, how about this guy? Anyone? Anyone at all? Yeah, didn’t fucking think so. Cowards.

Even, even, even more if it does turn out to be a hoax. ‘Those uppity womenfolks always lying about being raped’ is pretty much a battlecry for a lot of them
