Well, there is no racial element to Trudeau’s election, and he’s the son of a previous PM... I’d say he’s more like a George W Bush, but with solid progressive social views and approval ratings that aren’t in a toilet. I like the man a good bit, but I doubt Trudeau is the smartest person in any room, but he is alert…

Trudeau taught drama at a private high school. If he was a halfway decent drama teacher (and by most reports he was a rather good teacher) he can handle Trump’s bullshit no problem.

He is a pretty awesome human being.

That 16 Fake News stories is facinating! I’m deep in a liberal media echo chamber, and I hadn’t even heard most of them! And the ones I had heard of, I understood accurately, except one.

By all reports Michelle did want to delay the move in and let the girls finish the school year.

This is bizarre. Either the Trumpites refuse to speak to the staff that cleans the place, or the staff hates them all.

If her rapist is her “spouse, parent, guardian, or physician” then yes! I suppose, a parent who raped his own child would be double- or tripled-entitled to force her to carry the pregnancy to term!

Sush now. Ashley S was magical and I’d watch her talk to birds all day long.

I am looking forward to her on BiP, which seems to be the prize she is really competing for here. I wouldn’t say she’s ‘great’. I do not like her, but she’ll make good TV and bad life choices. BiP material all the way.

I know a lot of people will take this moment to “pox on both their houses”, but I think you are absolutely right. It’s more than a bit naive, especially at this point, to suppose that Trump’s clearly stated aims (“Blow them up. Take the oil. Kill their families.”) won’t result in very different outcomes from Obama’s…

I expected one of Trump’s nominees would go down. Whoever performed the worst was going to be the unlucky one trotted out as ‘evidence’ that the Rs didn’t just rubber stamp Trump’s utterly absurd and unqualified picks.

Cheating is smart! Tax evasion is smart! Not paying your vendors is smart! Trump is like a really smart person.

Um, that is exactly what the press asked. I’d have to check the video again, but at least twice, and I think three times total, and a bunch of other questions that are basically summed up by “Dude? You serious?”. Spicer repeated himself about “comfortable with the win”, lied about some Pew study, and said “Maybe we…

Pro-life = Less Rights for Women. It’s not an ‘illgimate’ opinion, but it’s also not Women’s Rights. It is literally about fewer rights for women.

Agreed, I quite like it. The styling is a too severe for me (gloves, matchy shoes) but the dress itself it really wonderful—and she looks warm enough to function, which is always a plus.

Yup. If a pregnant women has less rights to decide how her body is utilized by another so-called “person” than a corpse has over actual people using it’s actually-not-currently-being-used organs... then you are not advocating for the equal rights of woman.

Ironically, they are touring Canada in March.

No. He is not out, and I doubt he is gay. He has described himself as straight, he dodges the gay question largely because of wanting to avoid the idea that there is anything wrong with or worth hiding about being gay.

I think I’d be a bit more appalled by it, if going to the media wasn’t the way his own advisers and surrogates tried to get through to him as well...

Exactly this. There is a big difference between enjoying the occasional Big Mac and believing it’s a damn good burger. The first is fine, the second is not.
