I’m quite sure he makes Stalin look like an arts enthusiast.

Stalin was known for canceling the careers of artists and musicians simply because he didn’t like what they did. When I read about it in grad school, I thought, “What a sad time to live in. I’m glad I’ll never have to worry about that.”

To be fair, she did help usher in the apocalypse. I hope she wakes screaming every five minutes from dreams about the hellscape she’s created for her children to live in.

Eleven years is a long time to stop growing as a person. If Trump had showed one iota of an inkling that he might in any way be a different person, it would have been worth discussing. (Granted, I do not think he has evolved at all, but that’s not really the point here.)

If time doesn’t matter, I have to wonder what…

Oh fuck this. Are we counting now? This was 2012. People grow and evolve.

Can we talk more about the gross Tweets our future President has made just this month? The gross things Mike Pence would Tweet if Mike Pence tweeted?

I think in this case, both are true. She has been exhibiting erratic and unwell behavior for years - and this particular example also makes her a horrible person.

I’m going to reference your story ok every conversation about late-term abortions for the rest of my life. They aren’t recreational, they’re heart breaking.

I also think there’s a pretty big difference between a miscarriage, which implies parent(s) wanted a baby, and an abortion which implies the parent(s) wanted to terminate a fetus.

This was my sincere hope, or else I was going to have to eulogize the musical tastes of the general public, along with common sense and general decency among American citizens.

I can deal with a Trump Presidency, I can deal with living in a red state, I can deal with racism and xenophobia and homophobia and papercuts…

... is extraordinary a word we use for things which are so bad you can’t find the right words? Or is Eddie Redmayne just tone deaf?

I’m getting pretty tired of all this crap about rural, conservative areas not having sex education. At least three of my teachers married students from my graduating class, and in all three cases it was within a year of our graduation.

You can’t tell me there wasn’t some sex education going on there.

Somethings tells me they’ll still be able to hold it all together enough to fuck over minorities, women, and at least one or two religious groups.

.... so how do you gain life experience without like ... experiencing life? Raise your hand if you weren’t a naive teen.

I mean, if Obama wants to move in with him and continuing tutoring him for the entire duration of the presidency, I don’t see anything wrong with that. Further, if the dude is so easily influenced by whoever is standing nearest to him, I will donate what little I have to a Kickstarter to assure that Obama is paid for…

My mother believes they’ve been happening this whole time but the liberal media is making a bigger deal out of things to try and sway the election results.

Even if she’s right ... (spoiler: she’s not) what does that say about our society?

I talked about it with the conductor and he told me to do what was best (because there was no time to find a replacement and no one else on hand who felt comfortable doing it). The audience was entirely made up of fourth graders and some veterans, and it was Veteran’s Day. After looking at the crowd, I felt like I had…

My generally Republican sister is a lot smarter than I tend to give her credit for. I wonder what she would have been like if we’d grown up somewhere with options.

Same. The husband and I had been discussing whether or not we were doing kids.

My mother said something similar. Her justification was that Trump would lower their insurance premiums when he repealed the ACA.

I told her that I hoped her lower insurance premiums were a comfort this Christmas when neither of her daughters could visit her in her conservative hometown because both of their partners…

I knocked a few off the shelves and may have stepped on one.
