Meh. Consider her history of early abuse in the article. I’m a someone who was raped in kindergarten and later experienced a series of brutal attacks, like an attempted gang rape at a church camp when I was 11. At a very early age, it just becomes a FACT that you are unsafe and that if anything happens, the people…

As someone who works gov’t procurement contracts.... they all do this to one degree or another. Between absurd gov’t entities that allow crazy monopolistic practices and obvious drastic marking up of normal gear just to get the maximum profit out of the gov’t ($800 duffel bag? Sure, why not!?). Plus, the corruption…

He may be the most powerful person in our society, but is it safe to say that he is the least powerful “most powerful person” since at least Gerald Ford?

literally any of whom he’d run over with a combine harvester in a moment if it got the New York Times to treat him like a True New York Big Sho

I am not sure that that is necessarily genius. My 5 yr old does that all the time when he gets in trouble, “Hey, buddy, did you do this bad thing that got you in trouble?” “Daddy did you know I like Pokemon and I own a restaurant in Charlottesville”.

There’s a sick genius in Trump’s tweets though. In one morning, he has changed the entire subject of conversation about Charlottesville to being about Confederate statues. Now look at how the media has responded; all of these talking heads and academics talking about the history and appropriateness of Confederate…

I genuinely don’t care what low-wattage thoughts bounce around in his empty head. Whether he “really thinks” Nazis are good or bad is completely irrelevant. It’s what you do that matters, and what he does is provide comfort and support (and jobs) to dangerous white supremacists.

You know, I’ve looked and I’ve looked and I just can’t see anywhere in my comment where I said a single fucking thing about Hillary Clinton.

As the residents of Trumpistan are so fond of saying, she lost. Get over it. Focus on the short-fingered piss golem we’ve got to deal with now.

I don’t think any reasonable person doubts that those things would be far less likely under Clinton.

My expectations and hopes are unbelievably low. I’ll actually consider the next four years a success if there are no nuclear weapons deployed and no significant land wars. I’m assuming that the economy, the social safety net, and basic human decency are already doomed.
