God, she really was. Somehow that didn’t register in 2008. But 2016 will go down as one of worst run campaigns ever. Hillary Clinton pinned her entire campaign on simply turning out Obama’s base. Yet no one who worked for her had the brains to realize, she’s no Obama.

There once was a fool from Manhattan

Donald Trump managed to parlay an existing family fortune and his father’s network of connections into a successful real estate empire and a larger family fortune, which he nearly lost due to his own mismanagement. He undoubtedly has some business talent which he displayed in the 70's and 80's. But he also…

That’s about the only way you’ll see someone score on Reddit.

First time visiting?

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.

Look. Alex. That’s just urinalysis.

But they’re never gonna survive unless they get a little crazy.

Let’s be real though. Trump’s rise is in large part because the people who voted for him don’t really give a shit about those norms and traditions. That’s in part because they’re fucking idiots and in part because the Establishment he’s positioned himself against for years had a “Oh yeah, we really care about…

I think you mean “unpresidented.”

Apparently, “did you or your staff collude with Russia to undermine our electoral process” was not a question that warranted follow-up when he decided not to answer. Way to go, media.

The death of American liberalism, in a classical norms-and-institutions sense- the lack of anyone who is both willing and able to advocate clearly and intelligently for classical liberal republican ideals - has to be one of the most remarkable and unremarked trends in American politics. These are and have been…

The humblebrag is real

I mean, the American people just weren’t ready for this kind of information. Buzzfeed should have kept it to themselves to protect us. Just like LBJ heroically refused to expose Nixon’s treason in sinking the Paris Peace Talks prior to his election. And the press and government officials protected us from having to…

When a powerful U.S. Senator is delivering copies of Pizzagate conspiracy theory manifestos to the director of the FBI, this equivalence will become valid.

How are journalists showing deference to a man who erroneously claimed, without any evidence, that Barack Obama was not an American citizen? Trump straight up ran (if we didn’t launch, which he pretty much did, let’s be honest) the “Birther” movement. But NOW we need to triple-check everything that leaks about Trump?…

The reporter’s job is not to simply dump

I’m not sure how to feel, yet, but one discomfiting thought that keeps coming back is how it feels kind of similar to how right leaning outlets would bring up pizzagate with a sorta “we just don’t know!” hands in the air routine.

I’m beginning to think the people claiming early onset Alzheimer’s may be on to something. He’s become noticeably more incoherent as the months drag on.

He has the mental capacity of a 5-year-old
