I wondered some years ago where my father’s anxiety about China came from, and now I realise that it’s all this garbage. I wish my dad wasn’t so brainwashed.

Obama signing executive orders: a constitutional crisis from a man that thinks he’s a king.

They do the same thing with “He tells it like it is” to “That’s not what he REALLY meant”

It’s charming how quickly his backers can switch from “Donald is an alpha male silverback gorilla who will not shit from anyone” to “Donald is a precious little baby who is not accustomed to Washington, D.C., and must be sheltered from those nasty politicians”. Supporting Donald is a tremendously corrupting enterprise.

I can. Its simple. It will happen again. And again. And again. Until we stand up and say, “no more”. Until we decide as a people to take a direct interest in what is being said on our behalf using our political voice.

I can’t believe these buffoons managed to get that shitstain elected. Idiots, top to bottom.

Can we stop using Sesame Street as the PBS poster child? It’s an HBO show now. And the PBS cuts won’t affect it in the least. If PBS disappeared tomorrow, Sesame Street would still get made because its main funding comes from licensing and merchandise sales.

I would have two airplanes and make them fight.

If I’m Maddow and this hit my desk I’d be hard pressed to give a shit. His tax returns from 10+ years ago show that he paid a lot of taxes (sounds like a whole lot to 99% of us), and that he took advantage of a tax loophole he personally disagrees with, and who among us would stand on some moral high ground if we…

And now Trump can say, somewhat truthfully: “My taxes are out there. And look! There’s nothing there!” While overlooking the fact that the first two pages of his taxes tell very little. If anything I think this whole thing will be counterproductive as a sizable percent of the population will believe that Trumps taxes…

When Maddow had Stewart on some years ago and he was roasting the media (MSNBC included) I knew she wasn’t really up to it when she became so defensive simply because Stewart was criticizing her in with everyone else.

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…

It also helps fuel the narrative of “the corrupt media looking for a ratings grab” because... well, why the fuck else would you hype up something so ultimately trivial by talking for 20 minutes about the importance of knowing the information THAT YOU DON’T ACTUALLY HAVE AT ALL

Seriously. All that buildup and hype for the breaking story of “rich guy finds loopholes in American tax system.” YOU DON’T SAY?

Exactly this. I just keep thinking, “Now his supporters get to say that he pays his taxes.” I feel like it did way more harm than good.

I hope the short-term ratings boost was worth it, Rachel =\

Irresponsible journalism. Maddow dithered for 20 minutes about nothing, and then the big reveal was 2 pages with no sources of income. Trump should absolutely release his full returns, but don’t pretend like what she had was anything worthwhile.
 

Best plan is to take the Crunch box, have the nice man take the Crave box, then you two mix and match snacks. There’s stuff I’d eat (with resignation) from both boxes. Wash down with Coke.
