What I take away from this incident is this: you can't choose what happens to you, but you can choose how you react to what life throws at you. And if your first reaction to a minor imposition like this is to whip out your phone and publicly shame people who have nothing to do with the grave injustice you feel you're…

Oh God, shut the fuck up, you whiny, entitled harridan.

Good point. Just because someone can now hear them bitch and moan outside their safe spaces doesn't mean we have to entertain their nonsense with our attention.

I had the same reaction when some Star Trek fans flipped out over the new "Discovery" trailer because it didn't have enough white guys for their liking. I mean… how do you watch that much of a franchise and completely miss what it's been about all this time?

Game of Thrones, and how much of the sweet, sweet cash that show is making for HBO.

"Working" and "normally" are two words I'd never associate with the original model.

I'm imagining the Trump figure blowing a fuse and just repeating nonsensical gibberish over and over again to a terrified audience.

All I can think of is that Onion article about how a bunch of dumbass dead kids ruined awesome toys for everyone else. We need PSAs like that.

"Now for a limited time only, get your very own Donald Trump wax statue for only $129.95. Kick in a donation to Planned Parenthood and we'll throw in this flamethrower absolutely free."

Exactly. I don't get this idea that just because you acknowledge a politician's ability to behave like an actual human being, it means you're blindly devoted to them and can't see them for their flaws as well. And generally I find the people screeching about this are, shall we say, not prone to seeing their own chosen…

(Cue screaming ninnies who never heard of the story about the emperor and his clothes screeching about how they'd get murdered by lefties for even suggesting someone should sculpt naked Hillary Clinton statues in response)

Well, if I ever do have a hot take on something I can guarantee I'll be the last to realize it. I'm slow that way.

Kyrie yourself right out of here, good sir! (Wait, she trademarked that, too? Fuck.)

Sure, I get that. I'm all about finding joy in the light and silly to get through the day, especially these days.

Let's face it, this is why celebrity tabloids, monarchies and religions exist: because some people are so desperate to elevate someone else to give their own shitty lives some meaning, that they beg for bullshit like this.

"OBAMA DID IT FIRST!"

Yeah, true, Trump is in a better position than Harvey to fuck up life for the rest of us. At the same time, though, he's clearly not enjoying his time in the White House, and now there's the real possibility he'll have to throw his oldest son under the bus to save his own hide. If there's any soul left inside him, he…

Between him and Trump, it's been a banner year for people who enjoy watching rich assholes choke on getting what they thought they wanted out of life. It's not quite schadenfreude; it's something even better.

Know how you feel — fellow Canuck over here, and I have had enquiries from stateside friends who asked if they could stay with us if shit gets real in their country. This was back in the early weeks of the Trump presidency, when we could uneasily laugh about them having an escape plan, and about Canada having to deal…

If he really does have an imaginary friend — and not, you know, just making up bullshit on the fly for his audience of rubes — then that's probably the third or fourth most pathetic thing we know about him.
