I’m far too exhausted by the actual horrible people and the horrible things they are doing in this country right now to get up in arms over a straight white dude trying to do the right thing. There’s nothing wrong with this statement or the intentions behind it. How about we stop looking for the enemy within our…

The Rock is the only hugely muscular man I’ve ever really found attractive. And oh boy, do I find him attractive. Fully support this selection.

I think Green Day needs to update Wake Me Up When September Ends. All I can think of lately is wake me up when this election ends.

No, he can’t. The President does not issue security clearances. He can request them, but his children can’t work for him in an official capacity, which means there isn’t a need for them to be issued anything beyond the basic clearance given to First Families. DoD, DoJ, CIA, DHS, and DoE issue clearances, and they…

There has to be demonstrable need to know for whichever clearance is sought, as well as the background checks, polygraphs, etc. Because he cannot actually hire his children into any official position, they will never have need to know. He cannot issue a clearance, that is the responsibility of individual government…

She means the values of the 20th century, not the calendar, just as the 19th century didn’t really end until WWI. I personally think all that changed in 2001, but I suppose it could be said to be the transitional period these last 15 years.

Um, this. He’s off his flipping rocker.

There are reports from “his staff” to the NYT that he wants to only stay at the White House when Congress is in session.

Oh there have been LOTS of Joe Biden memes! They are sooooo good. The Petty Joe ones are just tickling me to death right now.

She would absolutely have my vote!

Biden: I’ve superglued a drawer in the oval shut then left a post-it note on it saying “secret Muslim agenda” it’ll kill him
Obama: Joe stop

The series of Barack and Joe memes coming out lately have been the very bright spot in a very black post-election week.

You forgot this gem. The one where he looks like an awkward, uncomfortable child.
