Members of Congress are concerned about Trump’s mental health. 

Somebody needs to aerate the Mercers.

North Korea generally ignores the South, because they don’t think the South is anything but squatters. The only reason for the recent overtures is because they see daylight in US/South Korean relations. They’re going to drive a wedge between the allies and leave the US on the outside looking in. These are the ways…

What’s Bannon gonna now that he can’t his grubby mitts on that Mercer money?

Threatening to sue. As with Trump’s sex assault allegations, there’s zero chance he’s actually going to file given the fact that doing so would open up all sorts of things to discovery that Trump doesn’t want to out in the open, and would allow Wolff/Holt to put him under oath as to the content of the book.

And they would be correct.

Trump’s antics have only made me more likely to read this book. Before, I was fine with just reading the excerpts but now I will probably pay for it. Also, with Bannon being involved I’m sure at least 60% of the book is true, which is good enough for me. Trump is such an unhinged nutjob that it’s easy to believe the…

Bannon knows exactly how to play Trump, fluff his ego a bit and watch him back off. Entire governments know this too and watch it all unfold in their favor (see China when Trump visited). This is a highly insecure man just begging for approval, validation, and praise. He has no idea whatsoever what the hell he is…

Technically:

It’s incredibly frustrating how often “Trump won the election and so is immune from criticism” is used by the administration to deflect or avoid issues about Trump’s competence.

i get it....recency bias and all and it’s a fine show but it’s no....

The Senate and House need to pass legislation to take away the nuke button from Trump. It’s CRAZY that one person (any president, not Trump-specific) can, on a whim and with no check on power, destroy planet Earth on a whim. Also, Trump is an unstable narcopath.

Side note, but I’ve recently been watching The President Show, and I have to say it is hilarious. Whoever plays Trump is a million times better than Alec Baldwin.

Aimée, thank you for this piece. As a single woman of 40, I can identify so much with this. My (half-hearted) New Year’s resolution is ‘New Year, New Boo’ but after over a decade of being single, being sober for 13+ years, recovering from rape PTSD and severe anxiety, I am terrified of a relationship. I started dating…

You are definitely my favourite writer on here. Both the original post and this response really resonated with me. Your honesty and frankness is so refreshing and I’ll definitely be reading about your dating exploits on tumblr. I think I’m around a similar age to you and I get the ‘why are you single’ pestering a lot…

I, too, have faced the realization that a long-term romantic relationship might just not happen for me, even if I do everything ‘right.’

I’m sorry you feel so bereft right now despite all your hard work. That’s really shitty. *net hugs* I’m also sorry you ended up meeting a bunch of shitheads.

When I was single, I comforted myself by saying that there are multiple people that could be right for any one person, and it’s just a matter of finding and…

I’m glad you feel it was worth it. I don’t have any advice. I’m sorry things didn’t work out like you wanted them to and I hope this year will be different.

This hit home. The details of my situation are different but I, too, have faced the realization that a long-term romantic relationship might just not happen for me, even if I do everything ‘right.’ It’s taken my head to some weird places, including a bizarre nostalgia for a bygone era (the 1930s-40s, I guess?) where I…

@vespachica: Gee, generalize much?
