Donald was elected by around 25% of eligible voters in this country. Let that number sink in. A slightly greater percentage voted for Hillary or for a third party candidate (more people voted for Hillary than for Donald, and if you throw in the fringe candidates you have a fairly healthy anti-Donald result). Of…

Not so supreme now, are you, Master Race boy?

What a nasty little schmuck. But how perfectly he captures the Republican zeitgeist. It’s like the perfect blend of Eddie Haskell and Julius Streicher.

I so believe this. I have seen loveless marriages, including two that lingered on, horribly, into old age (in one case for religious reasons, in the other case out of some kind of dreadful force of habit). This one has all the hallmarks.

What on God’s good earth is Cheney doing to W’s ass in this picture?

I completely love this beautiful dog.

Don’t be silly. Obviously that’s not even remotely what I’m suggesting. If I were, I’d be defending or even endorsing the window-smashing, the way right-wingers do.

This construction (oh no, be careful, don’t do anything, or the right wing will grow ever stronger) doesn’t work on me any more.

Obama’s crowd was only bigger if you count the Californians, libtards.

My family, until the current generation, were old-school WASP (we have mixed it up a bit in the current incarnation, at long last). I like to point out that whatever nobility the rest of white America prefers to fantasize it has descended from, my own people are over here pretty much because we were abysmal failures…

The great Klan revival of one hundred years ago in the new industrial cities of the heartland (Pittsburgh, Gary, Detroit, Toledo, etc.) was entirely in reaction to the “invasion” of the wrong sort of Europeans—Greeks, Italians, but above all Eastern European immigrants, most of them members of alien religions (Roman…

Hitler made eliminating the Poles a higher priority than wiping out the Jews. As noted in Wiki, “just before the invasion of Poland, Hitler gave explicit permission to his commanders to kill ‘without pity or mercy, all men, women, and children of Polish descent or language.’” Jews were on the list, but as Poles, at…

I think the big thing to remember is that whatever awful things may happen—and I’m concerned about how swiftly and forcefully these people may decide to go all out violent, it could happen as early as the demonstrations this weekend—it is still necessary to stand on the side of justice, to keep fighting if one…

“...shouted down and accused of being emotional.”

I’m just fascinated to see where Team Donald feels they have to draw the line.

Lately it’s hit me that we all have a kind of confidence that comes of living in a democracy, even a flawed and dying one. We say things. We predict. We laugh. We weep. We mock. We’re sure it’s all right, because, by gum, we’re Americans.

So far, even the most absolutely revoltingly fascist trial balloon floated by the Donald transition team has been received with full-throated cheers and/or loud, ugly laughter by his 63 million voters, as well as Fox, Breitbart, and most of the kids at NBC-Universal/Comcast.

Don’t care. Fine. Whatever. Hope these guys choke on their own bile, and then the ravens pick their corpses clean.

The prospect of his SOU doesn’t horrify me nearly as much as the anticipation of the celebrity reporters who will sit around shiny tables in the aftermath and declare excitedly that he had “exceeded expectations,” that his delivery was “brilliant” or that it was an “unexpectedly thoughtful speech” or that he had…

Apparently, the Chinese (who may well end up saving the world from, well, us, because God knows somebody is going to have to) are elated by the sheer naivete of Team Donald with respect to “Africa” (as with respect to everything, as it turns out). The continent is, from their perspective, an opportunity-rich complex…
