There’s a difference between lauding a speech, and analyzing the way a speech will be perceived by the American people, or comparing it to previous speeches. Most of the pundits aren’t fawning over the speech, but admitting that it is probably the best speech that our deranged President has given in 20 months.

I think the important thing to keep sight of here is that actions speak louder than words. It may be awe-inspiring that Trump can read a fucking teleprompter and sound halfway literate, but no matter what he says, no matter how nice (or at least inoffensive) it sounds, it’s his actions that matter, and one month into…

What makes this even better is that Karen Pence inadvertently joined in.

Herd mentality.

thats because racism has not only been legitimized, its been deemed patriotism.

“I would never ...” = “I didn’t realize there would be consequences for my actions.” Which is why we are seeing an uptick in racist and anti-Semitic acts; people are getting the message that they can get away with it.

Gary was carrying a purse and given his age and the woman right beside him I assumed they were a couple as well.

I think Beatty felt terrible and wanted to make sure everyone knew what happened. Imagine the confusion if nobody had explained it. Kimmel was at a loss, and the accountants were nowhere to be found. Barry Jenkins and his team needed to hear an explanation before they could give an acceptance speech with any…

Senior citizens like to squabble with each other over stupid things.

She’s like the anti-Trump of hands.

In their interactions since Obama’s election and inauguration and since, it looks like GWB and Laura Bush have legit respect for the Obamas. I also get the feeling that no matter your party, being President of the U.S. as well as First Lady is such a crazy, singular experience that it’s easy to bond with those who’ve…

It’s the People’s Eyebrow!

I suppose I’ve never viewed W as an active racist. Like the man tried his best to get a reasonable immigration bill through in his first 100 days. He went out of his way not to demonize Islam out of 911. And to my knowledge, he legitimately respected black people. (not pretend respected them like 45.) Sure his…

When they’re together, it always looks to me like W has a great deal of respect for the Obamas.

Trump still hasnt invaded a sovereign country causing instability that would kill upwards of a million people

Trump makes Dan Quayle look smart.

Trumpism didn’t come out of nowhere. It has been building for years.

I think the difference is the respect for the institutions of government and of the American people. GWB had bad policy that tanked the economy and got us into unwinnable, destabilizing, unjustifiable wars. But he at least respected the office of the Presidency, the humanity of Muslims and immigrants, and while he…

Trump makes W seem smart. How far we’ve fallen.
