Pence has his ear. Pence’s agreement was that he’d run domestic and foreign policy as VP, so he’s pushing for the major cabinet positions to be filled by people he himself might have picked. Part of that is also about Pence having the loyalty of the cabinet in case he has to invoke section 4 of the 25th amendment…

The right is literally Voldemort in Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone. They live by the belief that “there is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it”

I seriously said Ewwww so many times at the image of that gross thought that my vocal chords ran out of W sounds. Had to turn the Capital M’s upside down and send them up, caused an administrative snafu. Lot’s of paperwork. No good.

Wouldn’t it be something in the people of Flint saved America?

Yeah, this article doesn’t note how he was very effusive in his praise before he went off the rails. He talked about how he’s not choosing the lesser of two evils but rather that he’s super psyched to cast his ballot for her because she’s prepared and has what it takes. Then he went into his parenting metaphor and…

And they supposedly knew about it for weeks before officially notifying the director, though somebody probably told him unofficially, meaning he had deniability until the moment of highest political impact, at which point he conveniently “had no choice” but to reveal this development.

It’s working. President Obama has been taunting Trump and Trump responded by forgetting who he’s debating and actually running against and instead of trying to get Hillary off her game, he’s bringing President Obama’s half brother as a guest to a debate against someone who isn’t Barrack Obama. It is shockingly easy…

I am kind of hoping that he and his future Trump.tv subscribers migrate to a floating landmass commissioned by Peter Thiel and constructed by Trump because it would be really shoddy and almost certainly sink. I guess it would suck for the ocean to get more polluted with that garbage though.

It looks like he saw the Macaulay Culkin Richie Rich movie and was like, “that’s it, that’s exactly how I want all my luxury to look, including the luxurious McDonalds food from that movie.”

Why would they care about what harm Trump could do to America? Wikileaks is not American and their leader is specifically anti-american, proudly and unabashedly anti-american, and he would love to see america taken down a peg, so yeah, getting Trump elected is the best way to rapidly diminish America’s stature and…

I think wikileaks releases whatever the Russians give them as soon as they get it, and the Russians are the ones who knee-jerk released this in response to the US formally naming them as responsible for the hacks. I don’t think it was specifically in response to the Trump video. That just a fluke that they happened…

“rest of fruit basket” = pure gold.

That there is some ignorant af ignorance.

TBS has such a weird schedule and lineup. I don’t see them getting it figured out anytime soon. They inexplicably play reruns of bad shows during prime TV slots. The answer is obvious. Make Conan a standard 11:30-12:30 late night comedy show, and put Sam Bee on 11-11:30 monday to thursday. Either way, we need more Bee.

Hopefully she’ll get the Daily Show gig after Comedy Central pulls the plug on Trevor Noah. She deserves to be on at least 4 nights a week and it’s obvious Comedy Central made a huge mistake by not offering the gig to Sam Bee before Trevor Noah. I actually like Trevor Noah and I think he’s gotten better over the past…

So, in order to win over Bernie supporters, Trump just needs to thread that needle in an articulate way. Something like, “Old white people, aren’t you pissed off that you don’t have as much of everything as before?! Aren’t you scared of people with skin darker than your own?! Young white people, you’re going to be old…

Infowars appeals to a very special subset of lazy liberal bush-did-911 morons that occupy the same space on the left as the weird antivax, conspiracy theorizing liberals.

Well, for people who just tuned in to national politics within the last 18 months, and I’m not saying the vast majority Bernie “progressives” fit that description (although I’m not not saying it either), trade deal skepticism is like the entry ticket to their special flower progressive carnival.

I think Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan have done pretty well. And Bill and Melinda Gates are amazing.

I think Musk is a special case. Elon Musk reminds me of Steve Jobs as far as personality and intensity go, and we know that Jobs often strained his relationships with people because he was intense and demanding.

From what I’ve read, he’s an absolute and total workaholic. He’s apparently on his smart phone sending and receiving emails almost every moment of his day, even when he’s with his kids. He’s on the record sayings kids are “autonomous” and don’t really require his attention when he’s with them, so he uses his…
