I think it’s more about keeping our own heads on straight. Having been in relationships that were gaslight-y, one of the most basic things you can do is remind yourself that yes, what you are experiencing is real and no, it’s not okay.

Unfortunately, the rest of us also got what they deserve.

Exactly. Right now, they’re shoving their own agenda in with all of his Bannon-authored order papers, and he just signs whatever they put under his nose because he gets a thrill from making big, stupid, sweeping decisions that give him press. Once the bottom falls out, they’ll back up like they had nothing to do with…

If nothing else I hope this puts paid to the lie that real checks and balances exist, especially for the POTUS. Far too much is tradition or convention which is perfectly fine for sane people. But get a certified megalomaniac sociopath like Trump and all bets are off as to how far he can push things.

He’s trying to make it look like he’s so busy and presidential.

Right after the election, many were arguing to give him the benefit of the doubt. “Why compare him to a dictator like Mussolini when he hasn’t done anything yet?” they said. “This is America,” they said. “Checks and balances...”

What do we do though? I’ve been protesting, signing petitions, donating, calling my representatives, trying to get more involved in local politics, etc., but the frustrating thing is that it seems like no one can stop him. It also feels like we have no true leadership. Honestly I wish Obama would come back into the…

I have a cousin who has said something to the effect of “why are you mad that he’s actually doing what he said he was going to do?” This cousin is in Texas, so I really, really hope that he’s talking about the people there who voted for the Joker and are now upset that he’s keeping campaign promises, not people like…

To answer your penultimate question, I’ll give you an old George Carlin quote:

THIS WAS YOUR FUCKING CHOICE WHITE AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY

He absolutely will and that fills me with rage. The people that support this person the most vigorously are also the ones that claim to be the best at religion. Tremendous Christians. But they’ll give this shit show a pass.

Everything is awful.

Does anyone else take a periodic break from the news? I don’t want to bury my head in the sand, but each one of these stories (ranging from him being an insensitive moron to committing absolute atrocities) makes my brain hurt more and more. How did this ever happen? How did 63 million people vote for this 70 year old…

That picture makes me wish phrenology was still a thing.

Haha, what the fuck is wrong with this gif? It looks like a VHS tape covered in sand. I mean this as a compliment of the highest order, btw.

I made you a cake, Megan.

Vaughn has it all backwards, these guys go and shoot up schools (churches,mosques, temples,extra) because they know its’ the quickest way to fame. Even if it’s only for 15 mins. The lack of guns isn’t even something that they count on. They would rather be shot and killed so that way they can be martyred.

So, watching the clip, I decided to face the fact I’m no longer young. And middleaged is stretching it. S’okay.
