To be fair, he probably has all that info already.

of course, there’s no law saying the President-elect has to

I’m thinking Mencken is appropriate these days: “Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”

This is what happens when America doesn’t spend enough on public education.

More like HUD = public housing = black guy. Education = teachers = woman. Treasury = money = Jew.

I hope this gets more stars. The fact that “mainstream media” clowns refuse to pushback on BS is a big part of how we got into this mess in the first place. Their gutlessness angers me almost as much as Fox News’ outright lies.

Hmmm... Lost the popular vote, doesn’t give a damn about daily briefings, says dumb shit every day, puts unqualified cronies in charge of the government, and would rather dick around and play golf than be President.

I’m pretty sure she is dead.

Remember when President Obama played golf on occasion and took family trips at Christmas and in the summers, and everyone took it super well because everyone knows the President has lots of spare time? Me either.

This fuckhead is still pushing the narrative that Obama took more vacation than any other president when we know that’s patently false and freakin’ Camerota agreed with her! You don’t have to worry about the right wingers who agree with the nonsense, it’s the presumably left wing folks who fall for it too.

true - more than half the country saw right through him.

I just can’t.

Just wait til he gets in some twitter fight with a middle schooler and demands the Secret Service go check the kid out. 

Yeah, if you want them to build character, give them some responsibility and don’t go overboard with the gifts, but trying to indoctrinate them with your depression/angst/etc seems like a shit plan.

Yeah, I don’t really get this ridiculously cynical essay. Your kids will experience the adversity necessary to build character soon enough without your conscious interference.

“There is a part of me that wants my kids to feel, at least in some relatively painless and abstract way, that the world is fucked.”

I’d be more concerned, on a personal level, with the supporters. The administration is overtly targeting dissent within multiple institutions, but the supporters are much more target-specific. And the most reactionary of those seem to hinge their principals and politics on emotional affectation. A volatile mix.

I didn’t realize your 3 and 5 year old were personally responsible for the state of the world but if you really feel like ruining their Christmas instead of doing anything proactive like, oh, I don’t know, contacting your senator or volunteering with an organization that’s actively affected by the state of things,…

I am in law enforcement and the military. Many of my colleagues were public, vocal, and sometimes vicious about their disdain for President Obama. I never agreed with it (politically, and in principal), but I never criticized them for their right to express it. That was their right.
