Brings to mind the episode of 40 Rock where Liz (who thought she was bullied by everyone in high school) finds out everyone else thought SHE was the bully. (And I think I maybe remember Tina Fey describing this happening in her real life too in her book?)

So, basically Trump is like the person in high school who goes and tells the gossip of a friend to the “cool kids”he’s trying to impress. So, now his friend hates him and the cool kids he’s trying to impress still talk shit about him behind his back. But, he thinks he’s like totally IN with the cool kids. I mean they…

From John Oliver’s show last night (quote copied from WaPo):

Trump is like the guy in hs who so wants to hang with the cool kids that he sells out his lifelong friends by telling all their secrets and the cool kids just laugh at him.

They basically got the nomination for him. They gave him more free, call-in air time than any other show....and hung out with him off air.

Well, it’s nice that they’re going after him finally (they also brought up FBI investigation and Trump’s guilt). But, hey, psssst, Mika! Joe! You guys were at the forefront of normalizing this guy by having him on your show constantly. So. You got a lot more making it up to the American people to do.

You know, I understand his mentality here. A cast shake up can often save a TV show with dismal ratings. However, he’d be better off just writing this off as a sunk cost and canceling the rest of his presidency.

I used to be one of the “New York Observer”’s biggest fans. (It didn’t hurt that they sent it to me for free for something like 20 years.) It was like “Spy” in its heyday, with a little peak “Village Voice” and “New York” Magazine thrown in.

Yes, three cheers for hot aunt may!!

Marisa Tomei is so effing gorgeous!

He’s so full of life! Love it.

Can someone please give Tom Holland all of Kendall Jenner’s modeling contracts? The man can BRING IT.

I...believe him, actually. A lot of newly-sober people acquire hobbies to stay busy in the time they previously would have spent boozing/using.

I had a sense of low-grade dread when I saw Trump’s numbers creeping back up even after pussygate. But in hindsight, the massive upset in the Michigan primary should have been a fucking huge warning sign that things were about to go tits up.

I remember talking about this here on Jezebel back in October but I kinda knew post-Labor Day, because I would look at the polls every single time Trump said or did something outrageous and Hillary would get an eight, nine, ten point lead over him but within days, her numbers fell back down to Earth and she would end…

It was after Trump became a sure thing to win the republican primary. I just thought to myself “shit. This wasn’t supposed to happen. This feels like some bad destiny type shit.” It was like whatever needed to happen for Trump to win, I just had a gut feeling that was going to happen-one way or another. No matter what…

This may just be my existential despair talking, but most of the time I feel like nothing she could have done would have made a difference. We still would have ended up with the Cheeto in Chief because everybody is sexist and racist and life is terrible and we’re all going to die. 

Did anyone else cringe while reading that apology? (Not for the intention, but for the actual words/writing ability.) Maybe it’s just that I’ve been doing line-edits for an academic journal recently but girl please make friends with a copy-editor. (Also I am impressed that her phone was only at 2% battery, I can’t…

It was a sad interview. She reflected on how poorly she acted as a father. I think she knows now that living authentically won’t really change those relationships because it won’t undue the hurt. You can see how lonely she is but that she doesn’t really have the skills to connect with her kids the way they need her…
