I promise you that Donald F. Trump understands precisely none of the procedural issues that have been happening in the Senate. Either an aide, or more likely a Fox newscaster, reported Senator Murkowski was opposed to something and Donald is angry about it.

I’m sure he has no idea about the history of Alaska, he is the man who seems to think Frederick Douglas is still alive, and the Panama canal was completed not that long ago.

Welcome to an open season on everyone who disagrees with him.

One word: woman.

This is my favorite comment of the day so-far.

You know, when Trump first proposed his Muslim ban all those years (oh god, no, it’s only been MONTHS) ago, I was calling my reps (David Joyce in the House and Portman in the Senate - I didn’t feel the need to call the two Democrats) and one of the things I said was that if they let him run roughshod over them, he’d…

“letting them know the vote had put Alaska’s future with the administration in jeopardy,”

It’s a little weird to single out Murkowski, given that every amendment was voted down by numerous Republicans. I’ve lived in Alaska, and I doubt the people there are going to be happy that Donald is threatening them.

I think it’s too early to know who the audience of the show is meant to be because either everyone reporting about it is too busy saying it’s going to be a racist piece of trash and the worst thing every put to television. Maybe other’s are also saying it’s going to be a liberal left dream about how terrible the right…

Hey, the “nice face you got there, be a shame if something happened to it” strategy worked just fine against Dean Heller, why wouldn’t it work against Murkowski? Also, let’s get real, she and Collins only voted against MTP because they were given permission to do so by McConnell in the first place. If their votes had…

While you’re correct in saying those connections have been more than adequately drawn in peer reviewed journals, literature, essays and film, it’s never been done in a medium as far reaching as an HBO series. All those other mediums are ones people actively have to seek out, they have to be interested in learning…

I’m confused by the notion of this show. Now, obviously this won’t be the most important issue related to the show, but I really wonder what sort of justification they’re going to give for slavery to survive the Industrial Revolution, and other technological advances. I mean, owning a bunch of human beings that have…

I assume that the US military is just people cheating on each other from watching all those daytime dramas.

Yes x 1000. And Pence. This has his desiccated fingerprints all over it. I’m flashing back to that smug interview he gave to some morning show talking about his “religious freedom” bill so businesses can refuse service to gay people.

Trump keeps making me think of that great Game of Thrones exchange between Tyrion and Joffrey:

Can we also talk about how, based on the Pentagon’s acknowledgement and every report, he was clearly lying about consulting with generals. I’ll bet the “military experts” were Bannon and Miller, sitting there sniggering about how they were getting the wall from this (they’re not) AND outmaneuvering those Rust Belt…

Me too. I feel like I should be used to this by now, but sometimes the cruelty just takes my breath away. Today was one of those days.

His proclamation on Twitter today was even more horrific than usual. I’ve been so fired up all day. I mean, announcing this (bigoted, unjustified, the list goes on) policy via Twitter without giving the Pentagon a warning or any logistics worked out? The level of disrespect to active service members who are now in…

UK Update:

Surprise, surprise, Donald tries to get tricky and ends up shooting himself in the foot. And now let’s watch in awe as all those Senators and Congresspeople who are so concerned about the disrespect being shown to trans service members roll over and cover for the Tweeter in chief.
