...how in the hell is he going to adjust, at age 70, to this kind of enormous change...

He comprehends it very well — he just doesn’t plan to adhere to it. He’s made his own rules his whole life, and look where it’s gotten him. Enough people voted for him to make him President. Why would he start adhering to rules and standards now?

Former Iowan here. Like with most states, the rural parts of Iowa are filled with bigots and the more urban areas are fine. Some are spectacular (Des Moines and Iowa City are wonderful cities/towns filled with some of the most open-minded people you’ll find.) We even voted Democrat in the majority of recent…

No, the “bigly” thing was never right. Trump says “big league.”

Also, wouldn’t that be a privacy violation for students who need counseling services? Like, it is no one’s fucking business what any student or person needs counseling for, except between the therapist and patient themselves. And for some I’m sure it is a mix of both. I’ve been having a harder time than usual, myself.…

Question, where should Trump actually go during this time? He is not President, yet. Obama is still in the White House. So, where is he supposed to live. For example, where did Obama live in 2008 when he had been elected but couldn’t give Bush the boot quite yet.

It said that they would reduce the University’s budget by double what they spend. So, if they aren’t spending anything and just providing the public space, then I don’t think they have anything to worry about.

I hope Obama has something up his sleeve, because I hate the rhetoric coming from him this past week. He’s like your cool, smart, sort of nerdy friend in high school who somehow is forced to help his bully with his homework and for some reason isn’t even pissed about it.

Trump made his bed by spewing hate toward basically everyone on the planet. He made his bed by surrounding himself by people who’ve spent much of their lives doing the same. We’ve got to keep pushing leaders and people in power push back on Trump’s hateful ideology with all the fervor they have.

Also, assuming this is this psych profile is even somewhat accurate, you don’t try to reason with a narcissist, or appeal to their better nature (they don’t have one). They have no interest in differentiating between positive and negative attention, so if you tell them a lot of people are frightened they hear ‘I’m doin…

The values of NYC? Oh boy, this I gotta hear.....

Cannot wait for Cuomo to hold a press conference in the exact same location, tomorrow, saying that Tiffany and Gucci are very much his concern.

Who needs enemies when apathy and incompetence are here to destroy the country?

I can’t imagine many of the republicans aren’t shitting their pants right now too. This president-elect transition process is fucking scary as hell. There’s no contact with the transition teams and fuck face hasn’t met with the DoD but has spoken to Putin??

Assange is the closest thing we have to a living Bond villain. Demented, weird-looking, dangerously certain of his ill-conceived campaign, and he’s even started dressing up his cat real fancy.

I was friends with someone who was married to one his aides and she says he is a DELIGHTFUL (and deliciously bitchy) brunch buddy. I don’t know if it is true - but I really want it to be true.

“You tanked her and Obama’s platform with Bernie’s education plan for your dogwhistle bullshit.”

Exactly this!

“We ran a candidate whom everyone hates...” is untrue, but I’ve decided that the Dems should choose their next candidate SOLELY on the basis of “is s/he likeable?” because that’s obviously the most important factor to voters. Someone needs to buy the domains jenniferlawrence2020.org and georgeclooney2020.org.

We ran a candidate whom everyone hates and when she lost, our response has largely been to get angry that people failed to get on board with her.
