I like how the second “enemy” tweet not only cleaned up the typos, but also threw the other two networks in for good measure. You know Trump only cares about NBC because of SNL and the Apprentice, but his people must have pointed out that the other two networks haven’t been any nicer to him.

This was awesome right up to the frog part, which is an analogy that really just needs to die (like said frog?). Mostly we need to stop using it because it’s completely a myth, and not in any way accurate. It’s been tested over and over . . . the frog always jumps out of the pot.

Actually, they seem to have fixed that bug, at least on my phone. And it was only happening on certain phones anyway, not for everybody.

Thank you for highlighting the bit about how protestors at town halls are “not the Republican people our representatives are representing.” Haven’t seen enough people calling this out yet. I mean, we all know that most politicians don’t really give a shit about anyone who didn’t vote for them, but to come right out

His ego is just so yuuuuuge, that it gets in the way of his brain actually answering any questions that he’s asked. As just one example, both yesterday and today he was asked about rising rates of anti-semitic incidents around the country. All he has to do is say, “That’s terrible, and I condemn it, but I think it’s a

Just posted about this same remark. I think he’s talking about the town hall meetings where Republican congressmen are facing massive pushback on Obamacare repeal. He was probably trying to imply that the opposition is from agitators rather than constituents without actually saying it explicitly, but ended up saying

Did anyone notice this little moment, where he seems to referring to the contentious town hall meetings that some Republican congressmen are facing?

I mean, they fill up our alleys with people that you wonder how they get there, but they are not the Republican people that our representatives are representing.”

I mean,

“Ironic” racism is still racism, and still hurts people. You don’t get to say “I didn’t mean it,” when you punch someone in the face, and at an ethical level, I don’t see this as any different. Just because something’s not illegal doesn’t mean it’s okay.

My grandfather used to call my grandmother “Mother,” but they were both born in 1910 and passed away well over 30 years ago. Personally I find it creepy as well as old-timey.

The breathing is weird, but that is definitely not a “F” sound at the beginning of whatever it’s saying. It’s either “Hug me” or “Hold me” or something similar.

You are 100% correct, and people who are calling this “typical progressive complaining” are also clearly way off base. Unfortunately, I don’t think Jezebel was really writing “about the UN,” here, they were just writing “about Wonder Woman,” and without her or some other celebrity involvement, the story probably

All she had to do was just exchange foods without charging, and she would have been fine. As soon as she started charging for her wares, she stepped over the line and it’s right that the authorities stepped in. Honestly, even if she goes to trial and loses spectacularly, I very much doubt that the prosecutor will

Since most bake sales are run by non-profits or churches as fundraisers, they can probably wiggle through a loophole . . . something like, the cash that changes hands is a donation, and the cakes and cookies are just there for folks to enjoy after they’ve made their donation. I’ve even seen groups that seem to be

That overpriced water bottle is just painted stainless steel, not “made of marble.” There’s a ton of other designs of the same basic bottle at the exact same price on the site . . .

“the millions of consumers who claimed that the lip balm left rashes and blisters on their face”

That’s what it was before the conversion. They needed it to make more money, I think.

Where exactly does the line between seriously lame cosplay and straight up glamour photography get drawn? Wherever the line is, these girls are on the non-cosplay side in this image.

I liked how you acknowledged that this information couldn’t be seen as predictive or descriptive for any specific location, and then proceeded to do exactly that by saying things like, “How often will I encounter Mr. Mime?”

I think you may have left off the link . . .

Aw, that’s so adorable that you think I’m a millennial. Of course it’s a totally insignificant piece of information that has been shared, and Dear Ivanka has not experienced any suffering because of it, micro or otherwise. When you’re a business you want to draw lines in the sand about that shit, though, because lots
