He can read. He just doesn’t read very WELL, particularly when he has to read out loud. I think he can read the words but he often isn’t absorbing the actual content.

Please don’t stick to sports. And fuck everyone that whines about nominal sports sites not “sticking to sports”. Shit that’s happening right now is monumental and everyone has a right, and a duty, to speak on it, and to keep speaking on it in whatever manner they choose. You should not want to get away from what’s…

I’m glad to see someone else went through that - the whole sobbing, blubbering mess of a breakdown. Mine happened to me about a month ago after I’d thought I’d lost my wallet and then found it again, something just snapped emotionally and I fell to pieces in my wife’s lap, like a little kid crying for his mother. It…

You know, I sometimes wonder a bit about what your kids will think of your writing when they’re 18, 28, 38, etc. I think when they come across (or you point them to) the top of this jamboroo, you’re going to get a huge fucking hug. I think there’s something really powerful here.

I just spent 10+ minutes looking for these many instances ... and didn’t find them. :(

I’m starting to think that war is something that this administration has strongly desired since day one of the campaign. Bringing back manufacturing jobs isn’t economically viable, however it becomes invaluable in a war time situation. I really hope that team trump is not that smart or organized, I’m getting pretty…

“ They come here to the United States in front of our face – and you understand how important face is”

Do you think if we go into an all out nuclear war with China that the other nuclear powers will just sit on the sidelines? We are part of NATO, which means Britain and France (two nuclear states) must come to our aid if attacked. And I don’t see Russia standing idly by while we lob ICBMs into their backyard. It…

The only people who think war is good are the ones who have never fought in a war.

My favorite verse in the Bible is the one where Jesus says to his followers:

But hey, at least we’ve got all the spiritual folks praying for very important things like the ratings for The Apprentice.

Outside of the fact it makes defense contractors money, I don’t get warmongering. War is bad. Objectively. I am not some pacifist hippy for saying so. Sure, it’s nice to have good warriors and soldiers, but actually fighting war is bad (and now we have nukes). My late grandfather saw combat in WWII and was a tough,…

This scares me to death. I don’t like guns. I don’t own one, and don’t want to own one. When I was in second grade, a friend pointed his dad’s rifle at me and pulled the trigger. I was seven, and the gravity of “what if that had been loaded” didn’t occur to me until I was about 20. But I told my wife last night that I…

Bernie supporters turned out for Hillary at a higher rate than Hillary supporters turned out for Obama in ‘08. Maybe you should’ve listened to people telling you that HRC was an awful, unelectable candidate instead of being offended that someone would dare challenge her rightful ascension to the throne.

The only black people he discussed with any substance were related to him in some way - Carson, in relation to his appointment to HUD, some CNN person who says nice things about him, and Omarosa. He couldn’t find anything substantive to say about any of the actual well-known luminaries of black history he name…

Frederick Douglass died in 1895.

I really don’t understand why the press isn’t properly trolling and baiting him, as he’ll fall for the hook every single time. Why not ask a question like “do you think there were a significant amount of African-Americans among the millions you claimed voted illegally in the past election?”, then sit back and watch…

I fully expect a shootout if they tried. CBP and the police have been waiting for an authoritarian police state led by someone like Trump like it’s the Second Coming. The rule of law doesn’t matter to them anymore, as far as they’re concerned they only take orders from the president now.

The problem is everyone looks at it and thinks “it’s just the border guards, not “it’s a rogue police force with legal authority over any part of the country within 100 miles of a coastline, border or other entry point - which covers 11 states in their entirety and 60% of the population of Trumpania”  

The scary thing is that sowing confusion is a huge part of the process of strongman dictator taking control. So while it may seem that a lot of this is incompetence and miscommunication there is a chance that the uneven application of the law is part of the plan.
