“Maybe I have overlearned the lesson of staying calm, biting my tongue, digging my fingernails into a clenched fist, smiling all the while, determined to present a composed face to the world.”

I heard someone call a group of his supporters “the 5th avenue crowd”. As in they are the ones that would have stood by him if he shot someone on 5th avenue.

That might be the most shameful part of this (for her). It really seems like all of these Trump stooges are basically “playing house.” Linton thinks she can become the next Jackie O by dressing up and posing as she steps out of a plane with her charlatan of a powerbroker husband. Ivanka thinks she can divest…

Really top-drawer?

Nope, she’s the asshole who wrote a “memoir” in which she lied about volunteering in Africa, invented stories about evil African mercenaries and wild escapes and other bullshit, and made it clear that she’s racist, clueless, and untalented.

Of course not. They don’t see themselves as “working class” but as “temporarily embarrassed millionaires” who fully expect all that wealth to trickle down.

if i were her, i’d get out of town, find myself a safehouse or a relative close by, lay low, try to stay out of the news.

Before we jump to conclusions, I think it’s important to acknowledge the violence on both sides.

Looking like a thumb seems to be his fetish.

Someone who engages in LGBT behavior

Why can’t these dumbfucks learn the difference between stuff that goes on between consenting adults and an adult—usually a straight man—raping a child?

I accidentally saw a spoiler every night when I looked outside. Now that I know what everything looks like in the dark this whole eclipse thing is way less exciting.

You know, I am pissed as hell that the right wing has co-opted a flag that is supposed to represent everybody. They have also co-opted such buzzwords as “patriot”, “freedom,” and “liberty”, when they are about anything but these things.

I wonder if the woman waving the flag was the one Fox News posted a clip of as “woman waving American flag gets knocked down and dragged!!!!” when if you watch the clip, someone walking by takes a swipe at the flag, she tries to throw a punch, then CHASES the guy through the crowd, trips and falls, gets up and runs…

I live in St. Louis and open carry is legal. After Ferguson, there was an open carry rally put on by the tea partiers (obviously meant to intimidate). Some folks from North City showed up with THEIR firearms (and their melanin) and suddenly the open carry tea partiers weren’t that interested in holding that freedom…

Racism in the north is definitely more subtle, but just as bad. It’s “I have to move to the suburbs because the schools in the city are so bad” with the unspoken-but-implied part being “because they’re full of children of color.”

You hit the nail on the head. Racism in Boston and New York is different to racism in charlottesville. It’s curiously white neighbourhoods and schools contrasted with neighbourhoods of colour that somehow have a much lower median income, and schools that are objectively worse. Eric Garner didn’t get murdered in…

What sorts of things make Trump angry?

This was one of the top responses to one of his earlier tweets, which I think should become a mandatory response to him until he actually does so.

“Heather Heyer: Woman Killed in Road Rage Incident was a Fat, Childless 32-Year-Old Slut.”
