I'm going to steal Oregon Trail Generation, if that's okay.

Organic, heirloom strain celery sticks grown in nitrate-calibrated soil. Yours for only $49.99 a pound!

To be fair, I'm sure she intends to milk whatever success she has in convincing the international community we haven't completely lost our damn minds for all it's worth in her future presidential bid.

And Second Amendment zealots. And people who think we've let too many brown people into the country. And people who think their health insurance is too expensive. And pro-Israel groups, apparently. And, for that matter, people who only care about affordable college or renewable energy or marijuana legalization or

I don't think LotionChowder's mind is that addled.

Also, having gone to Obama's inauguration and vowed never to repeat the experience after getting jostled around one too many times…no one's going to notice, even if there's a whole group of you. You'd have to have one of the official seats near the front for it to get any kind of meaningful coverage or attention, and

In hindsight, we will look back on "Fucking magnets, how do they work?" as a prescient cry for a return to fact-based learning and discourse.

Also, can we talk about John Oliver's dweebier cousin on the left-hand side of that photo, and the terrible argument he makes for whites as any kind of Master Race? (I know, I know, it's not nice to criticize appearance, but I think throwing up a Nazi salute in all apparent sincerity makes you fair game.)

I can't help wondering if there aren't some more serious mental health issues going on, too. Maybe being off Twitter will give her a chance to address those. (Maybe.)

At the very least, it's not random. You can debate whether it's good, but there's thought behind the structure and how the characters sound.

Needs more pouches.

X-TREEEM!

I'm generally meh on rebooted Batgirl, but I did love the bit where she almost saw through Dick Grayson's disguise because she recognized his ass.

Well, let's see: there's the usual support for questionable regimes and unpatriotic rhetoric you'd expect to find in an old hippie protester's background (and I'm not saying that as a knock on hippie protesters; just that it wouldn't play well with certain constituencies), a weird fictional exercise that might come

I laughed. Granted, it kinda turned into sobbing toward the end there, but still.

I do think you're mistaken if you think this is primarily a top-down operation, yes. (Seriously, check out the nonsense that is North Carolina. If someone at the national level were coordinating that, they'd have warned them to be more subtle.) But also: where do you think Congressional Republicans come from? Do

Redistricting happens at a state level, pal.

David Farenthold's reporting on Trump's charitable contributions suggests there's no real there there, at least in terms of donations meant to help anyone other than Trump.

The cancer's not in Washington. It's in redistricting committees designed to keep the incumbent party in power. It's in the bank accounts of wealthy donors and super PACs. It's in an education system that apparently no longer teaches the difference between media bias and outright falsehood. I don't know how the

Doesn't mean he's not in contact enough to dash something off and get it to the cast by curtain call.
