He’s spent a vastly greater amount of time and effort bragging about how good his response is than he has actually, you know, responding.

Jesus Christ. Natural disasters are a good-PR gimme for the president of the United States. Literally all he has to do is appear supportive, give FEMA and the National Guard as much money and manpower as they ask for, and work with Congress to appropriate additional funds as necessary. He can’t even do those things,…

He mentioned it briefly to some reporters, then went right back to tweeting about the NFL and how bad NBC is. He seems to think that all he has to do to “manage” a disaster is say some vague platitudes about sympathy and support, and then not devote any attention to the subject ever again.

Well, as I understand it, the idea behind the guaranteed retaliatory strike is that an actor like North Korea will only be deterred from launching an attack if they know that their own destruction will shortly follow. I’m all for reducing the world’s nuclear arsenals all the way to zero, but it has to be done in a…

It all flows back to his bottomless narcissism. Every single thing he does, he does in his own self-interest. If he doesn’t feel like he’s getting enough praise and good PR out of helping someone, he just won’t do it. If that’s not sociopathy, it is at least sociopath-adjacent.

My troop went camping every single month, even in the winter. I guess things might be different if you live in a megalopolis like New York and have to drive six hours to actually reach the wilderness, but maybe your troop was just lame.

I’m not comfortable with it at all, and Congress needs to pass a law stating that at the very least, a nuclear first strike cannot be launched unilaterally, with only the president’s approval. That being said, if Trump asked the millitary to shoot nukes at a populated target without good cause, that order would have…

This is just someone making a super funny joke, people, because:

I mean... he can’t be “next” if a slew of accusations about him have already come out, been all over the media for months, and then slowly faded because his supporters don’t care.

She’s an attorney. Making excuses for her clients is kind of her job.

A little-known fact: Donald Trump does not shed tears. His tear ducts instead produce a highly corrosive, battery-acid-like substance, which occasionally leaks from the corners of his eyes when he sees a flattering news item about himself. Scientists have speculated that this may have something to do with the fact…

Most of the media outlets I’ve been following this story on, including most of the large mainstream ones, have been saying that this is the largest mass shooting in modern American history—presumably to distinguish it from the earlier massacres.

Uh... neither did I. Or any of the people I’ve spoken to about this after the shooting, for that matter. “What the hell is a bump stock?” has literally been a universal reaction.

So... The Happening?

The best part is that this never would have happened if it weren’t for Trump and Sessions’ bullshit. They tried to bully cities into compliance, so California decided to make them fight the most populous state in the union instead. They 100% brought this on themselves, and all for a policy that will probably be struck…

This is how it was for me when I bought my first new car. I knew I was probably getting fucked over to the tune of $1000-$2000. I’m sure the slimy sales guy thought me an easy mark. But the truth is, I just absolutely loathe confrontation and didn’t want to get in the weeds with him over it. Maybe that was stupid, and…

That’s trickle-down, and thats what the DNC is pitching.

FYI, “59 deaths” includes the gunman. 58 victims were killed.

No one should lie to kids about sex, either. You can leave out the gory details, of course—but there is nothing whatsoever wrong with giving them the basic facts of reproduction in a straightforward and honest manner, even when they’re very young. Lying about sex and its mechanics makes it extremely difficult to have…

Just a reminder, everyone: please don’t donate to the American Red Cross if you want your money to actually go to the victims of a specific disaster. They have a reputation for using large portions of donated funds for internal expenses, never ensuring that funds supposedly raised for specific disasters actually go to…
