Oh but everything is fine, just give Trump a chance...

Oh for God’s sake.

This man is bound to crack soon, right? He can only focus on perceived slights. His all-consuming need for revenge is bound to backfire soon enough. (Or so I have to tell myself in order to keep calm and carry on.)

Have you seen America lately? Ugh. I would die if I didn’t read.

The same way you go from a Nobel Prize winner at Energy to a Dancing with the Stars loser.

Bush actually read quite a lot! Something like two books a week. That’s right: Trump makes George W. Bush look like a fucking academic.

Maybe its just because I am a curmudgeonly old bibliophile, but I do not trust people who openly profess that they don’t read books.

I genuinely wonder what was going through Obama’s head when had to stand next to this asshat at the inauguration and smile through the pain.

there is no bottom any more.

Simpsons did it first!

Parks and Recreation. He’d learn a lot more about government that way. And the West Wing.

My Trump-voting colleague has spent the last year interviewing and going through the motions to enroll in a particular federal job training program that would have guaranteed him a significantly higher salary and better benefits than our current job. Hebjust told me that he can’t get hired now because of Trump’s…

Or maybe she really believes the right-wing crazy talk (she’s from Slovenia and most of what she knows of US politics is filtered through her husband!), and she’s ALSO being treated badly. He doesn’t have to literally be holding her prisoner in order for her to do the talk show circuits and spout conspiracy theory.

I LOVE THIS SHOW AND WILL SHOUT FROM THE HIGHEST ROOFTOPS THAT IT DESERVES A SECOND SEASON IF THERE IS ANYTHING GOOD AND HOLY LEFT IN THE WORLD.

I agree. I’m sorry she chose to marry this man. I feel sorry for Barron because he didn’t choose his parents. That’s it.

She certainly doesn’t seem at all interested in politics - she’ll just get trotted out by Trump when he needs a First Lady for some function or another. I can’t really hate her for toeing the party line - loathsome as Trump’s beliefs are, he’s her meal ticket. By all accounts there looks like zero affection between…
