Nothing ever happens until it happens. That doesn’t mean it never will. We didn’t have AI for starters. And telling people who made a middle class income and are now bagging groceries “Good news, we as a society will probably be fine” is a really shitty answer.

I don’t even know if people can transition. Take a 45 year old who has worked in a factory their entire working life. They’ve got a mortgage and car payments, medical bills, and who knows what else is going on. Now they’re going to go to school for a few years, for what? So they can get frozen out of a job market…

I can’t wait to read the tell-all books about what a nightmare working for his presidency was. You know, after all this is safely behind us.

Thank you for writing this because I haven’t had the desire to since I heard the news. I was starting to think something was actually wrong with me.

This. This is so heartening to me. As I said in last night’s open thread, the thing driving me and keeping me sane right now is knowing that I have a mission. Lawyers are going to be our bulwark against oppression. Lawyers like Ms. Weiss, like the ACLU lawyers who have pledged to protect the constitution, and like…

the cubs won the world series, donald trump could very legitimately be president in a few days, and now this with glenn beck. it truly is the end times, friends.

I don’t pretend to know the whole story here, but what a bitch.

You do know the difference between the states prosecutor and the feds, right?

These charges won’t stick either. It’s harassment, probably meant to inflict legal costs and stress on her, while making an example out of her to scare other journalists.

The most serious issue of this election is not Donald Trump. It’s people who support Donald Trump.

One of the worst things about this election is learning exactly what percentage of Americans are total monsters.

It sucks for loved ones to reveal their true selves. BOTH of my parents are for him, as well as my estranged husband, and I... I just can’t with them right now. I’ll never be able to look at them the same way again.

In my city in Arizona, I’ve seen literally 1 house with Trump signs.

Ugh. I only have terrible, but once cherished, neighbors with that viewpoint. Family would hurt.

It’s like people don’t seem to realize we can be pissed about rape culture AND racist degradation of infrastructure at the same time. My rage is endless, in the way of right-wing stupidity.

That’s what scares me the most.

i will never be able to understand many, many things about this election.

God, I just want a massive dose of vodka and ambien to knock me out until this shit show is over.

That’s giving him too much credit. He’s not nearly smart enough to be Cersei.

Like Cersei who blamed the wash women for “shrinking”her dresses.
