You’re right, but again, people who are still Trump surrogates are not the thoughtful, message discipline folks to begin with...

No one who is still standing by Trump at this point is going to think “Grab them by the pussy” is a dealbreaker.

In July, there was some good work done showing that Johnson was taking about about 1 percentage point away from Clinton’s margin. Libertarian voters are largely independent (whatever the hell that means these days), they are a bit younger than average and a bit better educated and a bit more white - but they

The are reminding everyone that they have the right to be total assholes to those other people. It’s can’t be rude, or wrong, because they are have free speech dammit!

Finally an appropriate application of Justin’s every so slight douchebroness!

I honestly believe Hilary still cares for and respects Bill a bit too much to do that.

No contradiction. She’s admitting she searched only for sources and arguments that would support her existing beliefs.

I loathe anti-vaxxers as much as the next sane person, but if she only cared about her kids, she would have no reason to go public with her change of heart. She would have just quietly changed her mind, protected her own children, and avoided the public shame and ridicule she’s bound to get from both sides...

I respect her and I pity her. It would have been so much easier for her to keep this revelation to herself, and not get slammed from both sides. Now she’ll have a lot of us sane souls saying “Yeah. Duh” (or, much more mean-spirited comments) and she’ll be labeled a sell-out and traitor by her former friends.

This the only Dilbert cartoon I ever found genuinely funny...

Margaret Hale is still better in the series than she is the book though. I thought the book would have more depth, but it might even be more shallow than then the series and Margaret is even more pigheaded with even less good reason—and she actually does nothing at all until Chapter 7!

Trump knocked down 16 republican opponents, and basically gutted the fucking party, with his bullshit big lies.

Sush! You speak madness! Remember that Hilary Clinton adsorbing any element of Bernie’s platform was not her responding thoughtfully to the needs and good ideas of others—but a mercenary bid for power! And ‘good advisers’ sounds a lot like establishment support!

Or, now that people are seriously considering him, it's time to point out he's seriously confused about a lot of things, not just his fashion choices...

Even if it’s true that Ivanka wasn’t entirely onboard with this Trump brand strategy masquerading as a campaign (which I don’t buy anymore) the fact she can’t even get maternity leave done right should be embarrassing.

There must be people here saying she’s not feminist unless she’s jumping on all the dicks—I guess I just can’t find them.

Shit. I totally forgot DesJarlais pressured a mistress to have an abortion, and had sex with his patients—and won his seat and his wife didn’t even leave him.

Yeah. That’s the real victim here. You know someday that kid is gonna fall down the rabbit hole that is online sleuthing and find that photo. Talk about a permanent scar on a parent-child relationship.

It takes a shitton of strength and preservation to even try with a man who humiliated her as utterly as he did the first time.

At this point we’ve got to assume he gets off on being humiliated, and no one else’s feelings really factor in.
