I went on a bus trip to D.C. with my kid's class a couple months back and I was kind of surprised at the number of kids that thought Trump was cool (these were 5th graders). Like buying a bunch of MAGA hats from street vendors and wanting to know when we'd get to see Trump's house and shit like that. And I honestly…

Every time he does crap like this, all I can think is that *my own parents* thought this was a good idea. At least my mom told me it was a "hold your nose because Hillary's worse" situation for her—that's sort of a comfort. My dad liked the guy on FB and reposted stuff from the guy's own website. My dad who would…

I think it kind of depended on how your troop was run. I remember that our troop had some of our annuals dues and cookie money go toward buying badges for girls that earned them.

The grownups are back in charge!

Are the fucking "theme weeks" a thing that previous presidents have done and I just wasn't paying attention? Or is it just one more stupid thing that this guy made up?

The whole reason our country is in the shape that it's in is because people have been tolerating her schtick. Even otherwise seemingly "nice" people (I know this from my own acquaintances) will say shit like "well, she has a bad reputation but she's really smart and has some good ideas about blah blah blah…". No.…

So, after taking a long bus trip with my kids' class I found out that there's an iPhone app of a fidget spinner which was only slightly less annoying than the real thing.

Hey, at least it wasn't an Inception Bwamp.

Who is this that's giving him shit? (So that I may point and laugh.)

You actually mean Emma Thompson, right?

Hell, he's already been known to comment on the relative attractiveness of *underage girls*. No surprise that he's a fucking creep who can only relate to women in terms of how decorative they are.

I hear you. I had thought, perhaps naively, that there has to be a point where a candidate is just so odious that a voter can't in good conscience support him, regardless of party loyalty. Trump did so much crap that (I had thought) all the decent Republicans I knew wouldn't tolerate. The birther shit should've…

I think some relative got me this book before I got married. The only bit I remember was that supposedly men are like firemen who want to just put out a fire as soon as they see it but women just want to *talk* about the fire. Which is bullshit because if I'm talking about a fire it's because I need help putting it…

Can we maybe split Indiana in half so the northern half can join?

When did they start getting away from one company sponsoring a whole program to running multiple ads? Old radio shows used to have the ad be part of the show (like when George and Gracie would stop to talk to the Carnation Milk guy.) I always thought that was kind of surreal.

Agreed!

Which why, as a Christian also, I've been telling anyone who'll listen that we need to be fighting like hell to reinforce and add some freaking barbed wire to the wall between church and state. Christianity (at least of the white American evangelical sort) has allowed itself to become nothing but the religious arm of…

Internalized misogyny is a helluva thing.

This sounds really cool. Really old recordings give me the chills—I remember that Studio 360 episode.

"A grunge musical? That sounds cool."
