At the very least, we’re in a far less complacent America than we were when Reagan (who, domestically, did greater & longer-lasting damage than GWB) swept into office. Young people & citizens of color are not going to just shut up & sink their efforts toward political efficacy, & a backlash like this might serve as a…

Jill Stein. Google it & weep. On the bright side, he’s not aging well. definitely down to a 6 ;).

Oh, Shep, I feel you. I too am chapstik-dependent, & am having ear problems now too. We’re, like, TWINS!

Awww; bless your heart. You made me laugh on the day before the 2016 Election.

It’s much harsher for male cats, but the discomfort & stress is awful for both sexes. My mama-cat is prone to idiopathic UTIs, & it is painful just to watch her traveling back & forth to the litter box at all hours in response t0 the pressure that makes her feel like she has to pee.

I may be totally wrong, but DJT-Diehards often remind me of over-the-top idiot sports fans—like the kind who tear out stadium seats & riot? In Europe there really is some crossover between soccer “hooligans” & latter-day National Front types, & they do share qualities like ignorance, blind anger, frustration with…

“We had this weird, almost Howard Hughes-like conversation...”

I dunno. Susan S, Viggo Mortenson, Shallene Whatsername & other illogical-Left folks are voting not w/their brains, but with their fee-fees. Politics & govt are about compromise, making things work, & trying to get the best possible deal for everyone. IRL, the latter doesn’t even reach 3rd place. It’s downright…

In their ignorance, the anti-OST crowd do unconscionable damage. Had it not been for readily available methadone programs in my city, I’d be dead now. Instead, (annoying as the programs can be) methadone maintenance made it possible for me to settle into a straight lifestyle, & successfully pursue a satisfying…

OK; as a kid I had recurring nightmares about the trail of destruction Reagan would wreak on the US & world. It was bad, but less apocalyptic than Wee Sex-O-Lette had feared.

Sorry, but every time I hear about this horrible public official, am overwhelmed by the heinousness of his sharing a name with this guy :(

I am sorry for your loss. Never found out what “Vine” was myself, but if it’s any consolation, even now, when I come across an old Palm Pilot in a drawer I can’t resist fishing out the right cable & powering it up. DAMNMIT! Hours of music just by swapping in a SanDisc; everything from work-related tech reports to the…

Eh, he’ll just move on to being a YouTuber. He should rake in plenty of ad revenue from the likes of Breitbart, Prison Planet, the groups using SEO to push Southern Poverty Law Ctr under 100s of fringe sites that designate it a “Far-Left Hate Group”, &c, &c. It’ll be huge!

Ask your therapist. Odds are good that s/he already has your back on this (mine, when asked, nodded & said, “Oh, yes! The ‘Trump Effect...’”). Vide Gail Sheehy’s Politico story,

Or, wait... of course DJT & Robertson are all hung up on brains being “evacuated”: they’re Cybermen!

In Kansas, most likely :(.

Ah, I get it; your head explodes just like poor babby skull!

“Black” Metal? That’s a Thing? It must be waay after my time, cause the headline led me to think that some couple, while commemorating their troth in the forest, encountered a latter-day offshoot of Rage Against the Machine.. The story still has a nice Midsummer Night’s Dream vibe, though, & Google will help sort this…

These folks regard it as un-American to learn Spanish (I bet DJT picked up “hombre” from the Paul Newman movie or other westerns).

I hate to even ask, but there are flourishing collections of BObama/JBiden fanfic on the web somewhere, right? :(
