You’ve got it backwards. FoxNews and Facebook are repeating their bullshit.

The number of Fox News commenters who literally and very sincerely believe that Mueller will imminently be indicting Hillary is sad and hilarious and not at all surprising.

This video was in the comments. If you have 9 minutes to spare and didn’t think you could be any more depressed about the world, I’d encourage you to listen to it. The whole thing. The guy on the receiving end is Jason Nichols, a professor of African American studies at U of Maryland who went on Fox News.

I was gonna say—I kept thinking, “I’m I the only one who routinely asks men to ‘calm down’ and ‘chill’?”

Naturally. Because they didn’t “handle it” sooner. The real tragedy is we’ll all be dead or dying of radiation poisoning, so no one will be there to say “But her emails . . .”

This is part of a pattern. Whenever he’s called upon to make a decision that goes against the MAGA agenda, he finds a way to do it that kicks the fallout of that decision to Congress. So he gets to go to his base and claim victory for his “promises kept” and when he’s criticized for the consequences, he can pin the…

Glad to hear you made it through Irma (and all those previous storms) ok. Your comment about the lack of empathy reminds me that the real monster in this slow-motion horror show isn’t even Trump—it’s his supporters. Even if Trump is dragged from the White House in disgrace, there will still be tens of millions of…

Yes, I remember when it was universally accepted that America as the “shining city on the hill” was at least the goal, even if it didn’t always work out in practice and we couldn’t always agree on how to get there. “America First” is the antithesis of that sentiment, and it’s a profound loss.

We should totally help everyone, but 1) it’s particularly egregious when a government ignores or exacerbates the suffering of its own people and 2) I think the MAGAistes have to be reminded that Puerto Ricans are Americans.

Oh lord, my kids have a whole slew of grandparent names, no two alike. Grandma and Gido (Syrian), and Oma (German) and Pa. There’s also an uncle they just call Grumpy. It works.

I’m really struggling to name one thing that isn’t.

This is horrifying, completely expected.

IT’S BEEN 3 WEEKS!

HHS accomplishes its mission through programs and initiatives that cover a wide spectrum of activities, serving and protecting Americans at every stage of life, beginning at conception.

Srsly? Inquiring minds want to know.

I always thought that was the brilliance of Jeopardy. It makes you feel smarter than you are. If the question is about a Romanian poet and you know any Romanian poet, it’s probably going to be that guy. And then you get to feel like a smarty-pants!

Take care. Find ways to inject even a tiny bit of light in your life. In the words of the great Canadian philosopher Red Green:

Honestly? I believe the reports that he, Mattis, and Kelly fully believe that they are all that’s between this country and the great abyss. He’s saying what he needs to say to stay on so that he can be a control on Trump.

Honestly? I don’t think it’s about anything in particular. I think Trump likes to fantasize about military might and really enjoys the fact that he’s commander in chief. I think he was just reminding the world that he has the power—in the most vague, ominous way possible.

I don’t mean to toss another bag of old take-out onto the dumpster fire, but every once in a while, I take a few moments to prepare myself for this possibility: What is Mueller finds nothing? Or what if, after months of meticulous, painstaking investigation, he’s able to ding Flynn, Manafort, and hell, maybe even,…
