Let us also not forget that he once again violated the emoluments clause of the constitution - for years he tried to get his brand name recognized in China, but couldn’t. Then he becomes the President elect and vows to end the one China policy that is extremely important to China. Then the Chinese finally grant him…

My deep concern is that Trump (or at least his team) knows this recursive tendency and exploits it to distract his supporters and casual observers from the real issue — his Russian entanglements. I think his press conference last week, the declaration of War Against the Media, the fights over “voter fraud” and crowd…

That’s what I was thinking, this is so brilliant on so many levels. Ok, aside from the ‘this is horrible don’t do this’ obviousness... but you have the ‘so many degrees of separation’ from the actual scene going for you, AND you have the built in ‘the participants are inherently calm (showing no fear or doubt)’ facet…

That’s . . . actually a really brilliant plot.

I think horrible people are just naturally drawn to each other.

Serious question: does Donald actively seek out terrible people to associate with, or do normal people who associate with him eventually become terrible?

This administration is so fucking corrupt it’s making me long for the integrity of the Bush administration.

The only reason he’s out is because of this being found out by the news media. We NEED to find out what’s going on with this administration and Russia. This shit is way out of control. Trump knew this happened and I’m totally convinced he ordered it and Flynn is the fall guy.

Good.

Better that women who use the objectification of women’s bodies make themselves rich.

He doesn’t

I usually stay away from this term but I have reached my goddamn limit.

um.....Lock Her Up?

She absolutely deserved that humiliation and more. This is a woman who defends his racist, sexist, homophobic policies. She deserves that and more. Frankly, I’d be fine with a livecast of her head being shaven in a public square when this administration is finally over.

Everything is going to be golden... golden Easter eggs, golden napkins, golden plates, golden desserts, golden showers...

To me it is such a sexist vestigial remain. Like, she wasn’t elected, she isn’t getting paid for the position, but she is still expected to do a whole bunch of work because her husband is President. And people threw a shit-fit when Michelle Obama commented that there should be some kind of compensation for the First…

It is such a stupid position. Considering the catalogue of horrors coming our way if Melania could humor me by just getting piss drunk on the lawn and screaming “Send In The Clowns”, thus ending any and all dignity attached to this charade of a role, I could live with that.

I spoke elsewhere in this post to the wildly inconsistent education experience in the U.S., which I think has to be addressed—some people are gifted with great public school districts, while others are horrible (usually because they are woefully underfunded).

I didn’t go to public schools as a kid - I went to a religious private school, the kind that DeVos wants to enable parents to use federal funds to sent their children to. I did go to a public university.

At my private school, I was relentlessly, viciously bullied with virtually no action on that bullying by the…
