I truly wonder if people believe that acts of violence are no longer illegal as of January 20th.

I understand your qualms.

For the first time in my life, I’m considering buying a gun (or two). Fuck every dingus who voted for Trump, because I now stress about my safety everywhere I go. I was always aware of my surroundings, like some minority spidey-sense, but this shit is grotesque and is endorsed by the highest office in the land....

White, male, middle-aged veteran. I’ll be on that registry for anyone who is too uncomfortable to take the risk. Especially actual Muslims.

A coworker of mine who supports Trump literally cited the internment camps as a precedent for what we’re doing now. Like, in a way that was to justify what Trump wants to do, rather than to say, “This was a terrible chapter in America’s history that must never be repeated.”

And it took less than 24 hours for some nitwit to post on her FB page that OBAMA CREATED ISIS.

“Did you threaten to overrule him?”

Just once, I’d like one of these media outlets to throw protocol to the winds and just troll him by sending in somebody like me to go talk to him - not a real journalist, but willing to look him right in the face and say “No. You’re completely full of shit, most people hate you, and you will never, ever be as popular…

Is there any traditional military conflict anymore? I suppose if the US went to war with China I guess there might be. Although I’m really hoping Kerry succeeding in convincing the Chinese that Trump was a halfwit that would be gone in 4 years, and really not worth going to war over. I’m also hoping his international…

...and then voted Churchill back in again in 1951.

So, maybe no one really believes that exactly, but you’ll notice that world leaders like Justin Trudeau and Angela Merkel have been oddly silent, and occasionally positive, even supportive of Trump. Who’s doing do you think that was?

I think it may have been Stephen Fry who, when asked for a definition of ‘countryside,’ replied “the act of killing Piers Morgan.”

I occasionally come across Brits in my work, both journalists and PR types, and from both sides of the liberal/conservative divide. Also, I occasionally say and do dumb things. Watching a Brit call out someone who is acting dumb, even if they are friends with that person, is highly entertaining. And it somehow hurts…

Trump is a master of political theater. Like the pile of manila folders full of blank pages piled on a table to fool people into thinking that he has divested from his businesses or the signing ceremonies for many executive orders that will be immediately challenged in court or are so vague as to mean little. And…

Here’s the deal Republican’s: remove this insane person, right now. That’s it. That’s your deal. If you want to preserve the Republic, do it now. The country will not survive even one year of this. There will be unrest, the kind that spirals out of control and hurts us all, more than any of us can truly imagine. Time…

Actually, under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, Trump can theoretically declare Mexico a threat to the country’s safety/stability, declare seizure of any and all remittance payments to help pay for his wall as the measure needed to combat that threat and hold unilateral power over declaring when that…

Let me decode that for you, since I’ve been reading a lot of shit from Trump supporters since he started backpedaling on this. Here is a list of some things that people have claimed would be the same thing as getting “Mexico” to pay for it.

We would put at tax on imports that would be used to pay for the wall.

Except for this happy baby bat, who coos and smiles when its head is scratched:
