It’s worse than that. If they actually had self-interest, or cared about the sort of world they were leaving to their kids, it’d be different. They choose to actively disbelieve in climate change, and for that matter most pollution, and work against any regulation of it. They hate government involvement in healthcare,…

Possibly only with servants, who always let him win.  

I don’t think you get to be in her position by being that stupid.  She wants to hew to the middle as close as she can so she’ll get support from either side.  She just wants to say “he lied”, and give herself the pretense of being supportive of choice.  No idea what she herself believes, other than that she wants to…

The odds that he’d allow an objective psychologist to examine him are pretty remote. If he does have an episode where he decides launching nukes at Venezuela or China or Canada would be a prudent course of action, he could cause the deaths of millions to billions. So, if he’s exhibiting clear signs, not stating that…

In wine, it’s also the yeast consuming the sugars (from the grapes), converting it to alcohol. Yes, rum is sugar cane converted to alcohol, but processes involving sugars from other sources are not inherently rum. 

He and his ilk captured the presidency. We’re getting their message in tweets on an hourly basis.  We’re seeing it in the degradation of our government.  Nothing he has to say is news, it’s just another megaphone that he doesn’t deserve. 

Health care and food is not special treatment.  

“Us vs. Them” is often a more appealing way to categorize people instead of more complicated politics. My grandfather, who lost siblings in the Holocaust and WWII, used to say that the Mai Lai massacre was worse. He felt that in the “modern” era, and after the Holocaust, we should all know how wrong it was to…

I love that song.

If somehow I had the choice of swapping out the current “President” for the owner of a dog hydrotherapy company, I’d absolutely do it. I’d figure he’d probably be a dog lover, so more of a sense of empathy, and the industry can’t be that old, so he probably built it himself instead of inheriting it from his dad, so he…

During the Woman’s March, where an entire trash can outside a Starbucks was consumed in flames, Fox replayed that image over and over. A FOAF on FB was bloviating how the city was burning down. I was trying to explain that I knew it was fine, as I live just outside DC, and my 75 year old mom was in DC, texting me…

I guess they didn’t consider their behavior rising to the level of something serious, like parking tickets.

Though it should be noted that Charles Manson also had a devoted fan club.  Some people are not healthy or sensible in their fandom.  

He’s a rapist. There are people working minimum wage jobs who are not rapists. He should be behind them in line, as far as who gets a decent job. He’s done nothing in life that makes up for his assaults on people. He didn’t deserve the chance he had, let alone a second one.

I think he would enjoy the time on camera too much. I’d be content with just a perp walk.

Sigh.  I hope we can go back to facts mattering again.

Typically because the person underpaying the guard gets a bigger piece of the pie.  WTF is the correct view of the situation.

The people who hated Trump aren’t the ones we have to worry about.  It’s not clear how Trumpers will behave in a post-Trump world. When Trump goes down, some will still keep drinking the kool-aid, and believe it’s proof that Trump was right about the Deep State. If Pence stays loyal to Trump, pardons him, pretends…

Pence is not just a Republican, he’s one of the one’s who thinks he was anointed by god to lead. He might think that a holy war or wars with the heathen (Iran, various Arab countries, Turkey, China, possibly liberal countries) is part of God’s plan. He may feel Jesus wants him to use the nukes, possibly to bring on…

He would also talk about ratings, possibly saying that the ratings for this funeral are huge, really top notch ratings. But of course Donald Trump’s funeral might have better ratings. He’ll also rewrite history and say McCain complimented him privately for various things, because he loves to lie.
