There are Melania Trump stans? You have to wonder at the poor life choices that would lead one to have an emotional investment in the life of an emotionless escort turned trophy wife.

The vandals really missed an opportunity with this one. It isn’t every day you come across a wooden statue that, with a step ladder and some hand tools, you could change the face to a cyberman or Jar Jar Binks or something.

I really don’t care. Do you?

Where do you think they should relocate his statue?  I’m thinking the nearest landfill would be good.  Though the bottom of the ocean or beneath a sewer outlet pipe would also be superb choices.

“Ultimately it’s not a matter of if schools should reopen. It’s simply a matter of how. They must fully open and they must be fully operational.”

Remember how, back during impeachment, Vindman said he could promise his dad (who had escaped the rule of petty authoritarians) that he would be safe from retribution for telling the truth? He said he knew this because, “This is America.... And here, right matters.” And for like five seconds we all remembered what…

Don’t forget Roger Stone! Maybe they can hang out and compare notes on how hygienic and friendly their prison experiences are.

They really couldn’t have picked a better header image to capture that sentiment.  That’s the face of a man who just shat his Depends and knows that he isn’t the one who is going to have to clean up that disaster.

Yeah, she was distant, especially after the difficult birth of Robert Trump.  You can see how much Donnie was fixated upon getting her attention by the way he adopted her hairstyle and fascination with royalty; a vanity Fred never had.

Yeah, I’m already living with a chronic illness, the last thing I need is to find out what the fuck COVID will do to me.

Good ol’ HamNo is still banging that drum over on InTheseTimes.

Plus, even though children don’t face as high a risk, Covid-19 can still be debilitating or deadly for them, too.  Being too cavalier about reopening schools is asking for sorrow.

They both were. Justin Frank even made the case in his book, Trump on the Couch, that his relationship with his mother was probably even more influential on his becoming a black hole trying to absorb all the attention in the known universe.

Foreign students aren’t just great for the colleges, they’re absolutely fantastic PR for America as a whole. Foreign students who are educated here usually end up with a positive view of us, adopt our better values, and take them back to their home countries, where they become leaders and expand our influence. And we…

Yeah, I passed out my phone number and my e-mail to the few people I actually ever spoke with and deleted my account a few years ago; no regrets whatsoever. My impetus for leaving was Facebook announcing its plan to expand aggressively into the developing world by offering free internet with the bold, blinking…

To be fair to the guy, “Facebook is a cesspool,” is one more true statement than I would have expected from a brain-worm induced screed against those dastardly Marxists who want to *checks notes* keep everyone from getting a potentially deadly illness.

Trump is not, and has never been, a germophobe. Throughout his life there’s a clear through line of him engaging in high risk activity as it relates to disease (e.g. sleeping around without using protection, refusing to wear a mask during a pandemic). Part of this is a self-destructive impulse (i.e. on some level he do…

Lead paint and thalidomide both serve useful purposes, but have serious unintended side-effects. Fox News is like if you had rat poison that nourished the rats, made them grow to double size, and gave them a taste for human flesh.

No way will we hear about it if and when he does get it.  He’ll go around spreading like Typhoid Mary until he physically can’t anymore, at which point his events will be quietly rescheduled as he hides himself from all public view for a few weeks until he recovers or dies.  In all things he is predictably the worst.

You’re probably right about that. He just stuck in my mind as that other, non-Oprah celebrity that was floating a trial balloon for the presidency a few years ago. And since his relevant experience and rationale for running could only be described as “ego,” at that time I was internally screaming, “No no no!…
