Managing Editor Nancy Gibbs wrote that for some, Trump’s victory “represents a long-overdue rebuke to an entrenched and arrogant governing class;”
I keep thinking if Dumpsterfire had lost, he and the Republicans would have incited riots and would not have HESITATED to demand a recount. So, heading forward, I choose to treat him the way the Republicans would have treated HRC.
I have a cat named Lady Gaga. She has to wear pajamas because of her over grooming. You can feel bad for her. And also think she is adorable.
Seriously, him saying he would destroy the records before giving them to a deportation task force made me reel. we need more people talking like this.
“I will not tell you that...Tiffany’s...are my central concerns in life,” the mayor said.
I was an enthusiastic supporter of BdB and it has been hard to keep loving him during his term, honestly, even though I think he has been unfairly criticized at least some of the time. But the lord bless him for working out the free museum and cultural institution membership program as part of IDNYC. That list is…
“No corrupt! No corrupt! You’re the corrupt!”
No, it’s okay. Bernie is not blameless in this. Sure, he campaigned for Hillary after the convention - AFTER he spent a primary season referring to her as a Wall Street puppet, a cog in a corrupt system, untrustworthy, “unqualified” to be President, etc. How quickly people forget that Bernie’s bread and butter - young…
I’m hoping that as their only policy plans so far have been to “Drain the swamp!” President-elect Dipshit decides “Well we’re going to keep things as Obama had them for a while until we can figure out what we’re doing...” and then every member of his cabinet and constituency dies of rage stroke.
“But but....it’s about economic anxiety!” - White Americans since Tuesday night
I feel so stick to my stomach about everything.
The House. The Senate. The Justices.
I’ve been dizzy all day and I just want to hug HRC.
I had severe PTSD from the debates and now I just want to lay down under my desk and cry.
Nope. Racism is (again) shorthand for white class anxiety. Intersectional or fuck off.
Spoiler alert: it’s not going to get better for them. It’s been downhill for them since the Reagan administration, but they keep voting for the folks that ship their jobs overseas, bankrupt their pensions, pull their social safety nets, etc. Asking for sympathy while shooting yourself in the foot really only…
Fuck people who stayed home, wrote in Bernie, or left the President choice blank (My Father.) even more.
Marla was pregnant. He had to marry her, because otherwise it would have been too confusing when people referred to “that Trump bastard.”
Obviously. But an email is infinitely easier to leak than a phone call. Because if someone’s recording your phone calls you already have a massive problem, but an email is stored on multiple locations the second it’s sent and even deleting it doesn’t get rid of it.
We can still act holier than thou.
Here’s the thing - Bill Clinton is a philanderer and potential douche bag, I’ll grant you that. But at least he presided over the country when the economy was good and he’s actually an acclaimed scholar. He’s legitimately smart and was good at his job.
I thought the same thing. And someone else pointed this out, but remember that cop in NYC that actually got in trouble for shooting someone in a stairwell? He was Asian. So, so far the only cops that have actually seen repercussions are an Asian man and a white woman.
