It’s pure Spectacle. If you accept that this is a reality show presidency, then everything about it makes some twisted sort of sense. At the same time, the shock setting in that this is really happening and you disassociate from yourself and somewhere along the line ponder that there’s a frighteningly large portion of…

Because there is a key difference between a reason and an excuse. The reason he flies the rebel flag and says, “coon?” He’s a racist. The excuses he gives are that it’s history and that he made a mistake.

Wilson at least was competent until his stroke and had a wife who actually gave a fuck. Trump has been incompetent from the moment he threw his toupee in the ring.

B/c they live in comfortable little bubbles that are often out of touch with much to most of the rest of the world. They are so culturally stunted that they don’t know anything else.... or just refuse to acknowledge it.

A few months ago when I was having a conversation with a trumpster, I had mentioned how most other presidents love to read, and trump never reads and can only absorb a couple of bullet points. Her answer? “That’s because he’s a DO-er, a man of action who can’t sit around just reading!” I think it is more sickening to…

You Russians really have trouble with articles and plurals, don’t you?

Please don’t lump the president in with those of us with ADD. We’re far better at controlling our impulses, thankyouverymuch!

This sounds like a behavior plan for a child with a diagnosed disability. Or the plan for providing structure for a toddler.

The use of “unforeseen” is especially fitting.

heck, my dad’s a federal judge, and he taught his kids that you don’t talk to cops because they LIE ALL THE TIME.

Afghanistan produces 90% of the world’s opium.

Opium selling surely? Even if they’re technically against it I’m sure I heard a lot of the profits still go to the Taliban.

Oh, I didn’t mean that as a criticism, so I hope it didn’t come off that way. There does need to be a better relationship built between police and the communities they serve, especially communities of color and of lower socioeconomic status. I’ve just noticed a trend in my acquaintance who are police officers that…

As editor in chief of Splinter, I must state that Splinter does not endorse Hamilton Nolan’s views about the eclipse. I do, however, support him emotionally.

Funny how cops have the willingness to put their time and effort into this kind of ridiculous bullshit. Yet, they seem to not care a bit about confronting Republicans on their unwavering support for the NRA’s agenda of making sure anyone, including criminals, has easy access to guns.

 Jonathan Pryce was a Bond villain way ahead of his time. A psychotic fake news media baron would fit into 2016-2017 perfectly.

I know. Trump is a textbook example of how money can’t buy class. Add to that that he’s so self-absorbed and dense that after all this time trying to be part of the elite, he still doesn’t understand such simple things as it would score him points with them to feign an interest in art (an not being a boor)

Donny Two Scoops - I’m definitely stealing that for future use. It’s like the most pathetic mafia name ever.

Saudi Arabia Youth Forum, Muslim holiday, Cinco de Mayo, NAACP.
I think a pattern is starting to emerge.

Soooo presidential.
