I think rather than the “knowing he has limited time in office” strategy, his handlers are using the “do all the cartoonishly terrible things at once so we overwhelm the opposition and they can’t fight back” strategy.

I think we need to mobilize and each find one or two specific causes we can target, while being…

This comment is inspiring me to use the word pussy as often as possible in front of people I know who voted for Trump. To the point where they get irate and ask me to stop and I’ll be all like ‘what’s the problem?”

On the jobs side the US is also wrangling a really weird dissonance that no one is particularly willing to acknowledge where “we want jobs back” is culturally charged as referring to FACTORY jobs, even though the cultural definition of success largely no longer acknowledges work which doesn’t require a college…

Because it read like, “I didn’t want to be here in the first place so I’m going to look for reasons not to like it and assume the worst about the intentions of those around me OMG MY PHONE DOESNT WORK.”

This is one of the many things that annoys me, both now, and the election in general. Hypocrisy on this level is just childish. ‘Shut up and accept it’ coming from the same group that for the last 8 years did nothing but obstruct *any* policy, and from a president who refuses to release tax returns, but spent years…

The real reason he won’t is likely that they will show that he’s not nearly as wealthy as he claims to be. This is also likely the reason that Russia has him under their thumb, not his watersports fetish.

i knew that he wouldn’t do it, because he said that he would.

At some point I hoped the Mormons would get on board with how hideous the Circus Peanut was, and do something about it. This asshole did that for about 30 seconds before he went back to sucking. So my general distrust of the LDS has been confirmed; you are not a moral bunch and this ass is the lowest of the low

I don’t really care one way or the other. I don’t think the next four years are going to be remembered for their outstanding First Lady.

The gap between his words and his actions has never been a problem before.

On the eve of the inauguration, I think it’s a good time to remember that under President Obama, twenty million Americans gained health insurance, cutting the percentage of uninsured Americans to single digits; same-sex marriage was legalized; DADT was repealed; combat positions were opened to women and transgender…

PBS and things founded by the National Endowment for the Arts were dramatically important parts of my childhood. I grew up lower middle class and we couldn’t afford cable or fancier entertainments, and the programming that came from those programs was so good and so educational I am sure it helped shape who I am…

I just, I can’t.

Or, to put it in terms these top-hatted, monocled capitalists will understand: their own failure to adjust to the conditions of the market is what has created alternative markets where their profits are lost or diverted.

There are not enough stars in the universe for this comment. We will continue to lag behind other countries until we recognize once and for all that we need funding and curriculum standards at the national level for education. This clueless wealthy white woman as education secretary would pose a real threat to the…

As the daughter of two Connecticut public school teachers and a current resident of Michigan let me just say, fuck you Betsy.

As a public school teacher, I love this. We are unable to be trusted to do our job and should probably be fired, but it’s a-ok for us to have guns with us all the time at work.

I hope a lot more join the boycott. Not being the center of attention and not having people to fawn over him will drive him nuts.
