Phew. I was worried there for a sec.

Am I going to have to turn the volume way up and lean forward like a geriatric with a malfunctioning hearing aide just so I can decypher Cumberbatch's deep mumbling like I did when I watched Sherlock?

I think the irony is that we actually lucked out with Trump. The fact that an obviously ignorant, craven buffoon is the mouthpiece of the alt-right is helpful in casting that whole sect as disgusting and ridiculous.

Mythagoras, you are eloquent and well reasoned. Your ideas are intriguing me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

He also referred to the national debt as a "problem." Sorry, dude, any economist will tell you that sovereign debt is actually healthy and good for countries, especially developed, consumer-driven countries, and especially, especially developed countries that have the #1 economy in the world and the world's reserve…

No, it really wasn't.

It's official: There is no hope left for any of us. It was nice knowing you, U.S. of A.

Let me guess - are you near Woodlawn, Milford Mill, or Brooklyn Park?

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why exactly is it wrong to heat olive oil on high heat?

Tell me, what does the 88 in your name stand for?

We know what you are, asshole. Now LEAVE.

Agreed. As I said to you above, I feel like we've opened the door to something terrible in our society, and it will take either an enormous, collaborative effort or straight up violence to close it. I honestly am not sure if our society can come out the other side of this.

I don't know. The fact is while there are SOME Republicans that are horrified at what the base has become (Kasich supporters come to mind), most don't care because they're white and racism doesn't directly affect them. To them, it's better to have a racist, misogynistic, amoral, inexperienced, unintelligent,…

I definitely feel like even if Trump loses, we have opened a door to something dark and terrible that is either impossible to close or will take a monumental, multi-decade effort by all American citizens to close, and given how polarized we are that seems pretty impossible.

What happened to all that confidence you've been displaying, Jay S.???

Wait, he did?? That's crazy!

There's a farm that we go to for apple picking every year and they make THE. BEST. FRITTERS. EVER! The line is always ridiculously long but it's worth the wait they're so good.

Apple sauce and apple butter!
Apple fritters if you have a deep fryer!

Wow, he totally is.

Learn your history, asshole. Russians and eastern Europeans murdered Jews and burned their towns well before Stalin was even a glimmer in his mama's eye.
