One day, the kids will see the movie and ask, “Did it really happen like that?” And we will shake our heads sadly and explain that, no, it was so much stupider.

Going forward I’m going to tell everyone to shut the fuck up because I have too low a smoke point.

At least we know that Donald Trump hates women more than he loves powerful Germans.

Liberals keep dreaming of this magic bullet, this shocking revelation that will spur protective governmental action that’s going to somehow make it all better. They still think Trump is an aberration instead of the natural result of our system and the way both parties have developed over the last several decades, and…

I assume it’s something more along the lines of “CEO’s have an important role in an organization, but are not worth 200x the average employees salary”.

Not to mention his dad, Howie, was a firefighter in 1998's Firestorm.

I love how all the Trump supporters in the comments who are ‘appalled’ at Gizmodo expressing something vaguely akin to a political bias (gasp!) can’t recognize that Donald Trump is, at this point, far beyond the traditional left / right divide in Washington discourse.

No. Collins could’ve tried stopped this thing in committee and didn’t. She always pulls shit like this to look moderate. Fuck her hoping all my ME friends send her ass packing!

Do the old gimmick of having Trump look in the mirror. Baldwin plays Trump; Rosie O’Donnell plays the reflection.

Umm...when you use all caps, the proper spelling is “FOOTBAW.”

“So-called President Trump”, is what I’m calling him from now on.

Uh, just in the last few years, protests have brought down the governments of Egypt, Libya, Ukraine, Tunisia, and Yemen, and forced major changes in a number of other countries. It all depends on how much the protesters are willing to lose.

I was, until early 2015, a milquetoast Republican. I live in Maryland, so...anyway. I cannot tell you how many times I voted before this cycle - I honestly do not remember. The over/under is 1.5, and I signed up at 18. I’m 36, people.

I think where white people get mixed up is what they’re supposed to FEEL about their privilege. They (we) too often assume it’s guilt or remorse that’s required. When, in reality, it’s kindness and civility and fairness. And most importantly sometimes, it requires outrage for a plight that’s not your own.

Keep it the fuck up people. Democrats were ready to roll over but it feels like the protests and sustained outrage are giving our leaders a little bit of courage. Every little bit helps if we’re going to do this.

If nothing else it will force the House Republicans to show that they really don’t give a rat’s flying fuck about national security or supporting the military.

I think he’s testing the waters honestly. I don’t recall a president speaking out so soon after a new administration has taken office to encourage people to continue protesting. I imagine there are some very serious, high-level conversations going on - and even the Koch brothers aren’t happy about this shit right…

Since Jez didn’t cover his Seattle stop, FYI an anti-fa who was actively working to de-escalate tensions with protesters and MAGA-Nazis WAS SHOT by a MAGA bro who then went to police and turned himself in and then was RELEASED by the police immediately afterwards. http://patch.com/washington/seattle/man-who-shot-milo-y…
