Yep, that was a really telling way that he worded it.

There’s an effectively zero percent chance that Mike Pence will start a nuclear war.

There is not an effectively zero percent chance that Donald Trump will start a nuclear war.

QED, Pence is better than Trump. In the short term, at least.

“*What the fuck does spending money on “women” even mean?”

If you’re a Republican I assume it means paying settlements for sexual harassment lawsuits.

Also, Pence has all the personality of a tape measure. He wouldn’t be (re)elected.

My understanding is that yes, you have to pay taxes on the value of a family farm, business, etc. But considering you already get up to $11 million dollars tax free and only have to pay taxes on value above that amount, I don’t have a lot of sympathy. If your business/farm is so unprofitable that an $11 million dollar…

A pox on all of ‘em. How dare they enjoy their successful and interesting lives!

Yeah, this is a reasonable take. I’ve found myself thinking a lot lately about historical revolutions, what they look like before there are barricades in the streets, and, well, here we are. This is what the really early days look like. Nothing’s inevitable, yet, but we are absolutely positioned for something truly…

and let’s be real here. His base doesn’t really consider teen girls to be “children.” I lived in Mississippi long enough to know that far right republican men there consider teen girls to be completely sexually mature, and have enough sexual agency to “tempt” men. I promise, if anything, they pity Roy Moore for being…

those were girls who were “problem children,” meaning they’re lying or they had it coming or both

Personally I used to ping-pong between just wishing him to fucking die shitting already and getting dragged through the mud by Mueller and the Trump name forever labelled a disgrace, like Quisling.

He was actually really easy on child sex criminals, an underreported element of this story.

He’s been inventing shit against brown people all his life, as I’m sure you know. Central Park, people cheering at 9/11...he’s a racist scumbag and his supporters are either fellow racist scumbags or racist scumbag-supporters, which sort of makes them racist scumbags as well. And that goes for his brown supporters as…

We got as close to the tapes as we’re likely going to get, at least for a while, on Kelly McEvers’ Embedded podcast where she talked to a producer for The Apprentice. He was very clear that there is ample tape of Trump saying and doing heinous things, but he stopped just short of stating explicitly what those things…

The majority of the Trump administration just invents crime all the time (remember when Trump invented some people shot by gangs in the town he was visiting, or claimed that the crime rate has never been so high?), so it’s really not a surprise that they operate in a world where the only crime is crime from people…

Dream scenario, highly unlikely, but theoretically possible. 2018 - Dems take House and Senate. Feb 2019 - Mueller proves all Russian roads led to Pence and Trump. They get impeached. Pelosi is prez.

Yeah, we can’t have a former prosecuter who went after some KKK murderers. That sends the wrong message to the base.

Please let there be an expose coming. Next comes Dan Schneider.

I’m not sure what’s more fascinating - how many of my favorite commentators are watching this timeline like hawks, or the “nuh UH!!” contingent who continue to try to insist that “it doesn’t mean anything” despite being rather persuasively contradicted by a few dozen former AUSAs and US Attorneys and Watergate special…
