Dear America made me who I am today...no exagerration. Because of those books I discovered a deep love for American history coupled with a strong identification of my Americanness. I went on to major in United States History in college and I now teach U.S. History and Government at the high school level. Those books…

As someone who went through a Holocaust memoir phase in middle school, I have to say that this sentence is pretty cool. Those books had a really strong effect on me.

I also hope his brand is irreparably damaged; that the scoffing and laughing at Trump the president carries over to Trump the brand and they are ruined. Because I’m pretty sure this was just a ploy to inflate his brand and the ruination of it would be fitting and more proof that he is a terrible businessman. 

Best use of this quote. Ever. :D

I mean, maybe in his leisure time Trump could call maintenance and ask what’s up with the lights?

“Most horrifically, if we are still able to identify horror in our daily stew of urgent and physically-sickening emotions, is that Trump hasn’t really been all that involved in the writing of his executive orders (not that he’d likely help) and didn’t mean to appoint Steve Bannon, his white supremacist chief advisor…

Seriously it is bullshit. That house belongs to the public, not to their fucking convenience. If you don’t want to do the job, get out.

“Aides confer in the dark because they cannot figure out how to operate the light switches in the cabinet room.”

Susan Sarandon, is that you? lol

I am hoping that before they left, the Obama’s installed in the White House three animatronic ghosts programmed to visit Trump on Christmas Eve.

That’s my silver lining to all this and I’m clinging to it. He’s brought people together in our country more effectively than anyone I’ve ever seen, including Obama. Now if we can just sustain this anger and passion and channel it into taking back control of the government, up and down stream, we might end up…

So it never occurred to anyone to ask the White House staff how to turn on the lights?

Sure, Russia’s done some really bad stuff under Vladimir Putin. But let’s not point fingers. The U.S. isn’t so clean either. We’ve also done some really bad stuff, like allow Russia under Vladimir Putin to influence our national elections without scrutiny.

No no - when I replied to you, I was agreeing. Pence does look like Race Bannon, and also Henry Gyrich. Basically I think if he wants to destroy the X-Men, he’s probably a dead ringer for Pence. :)

Every goddamn guy who wants to destroy the X-Men, really. And/or every guy who looks like a Q-Tip come to life.

Plus, there’s the whole story of Guthrie and his hated landlord, Trump’s father.

Being too stupid has yet to stop anyone in this administration.

She and Pink, both miraculously able to sing well live even when doing extremely athletic routines. Very rare ability, and impressive.

Oh good god. Put a pair of shades on him and dye his hair and you’re right. He’s a dead ringer for Henry Gyrich. Good lord.

If Michelle Bachmann didn’t know “Firework” was for the gay community and Paul Ryan didn’t know he was the machine in “Rage Against the Machine” and Ronald Reagan didn’t know “Born in the USA” wasn’t about patriotism, I don’t have much hope that Mike Pence will understand what “Born This Way” is about.
