Agree for sure about Collins and Murkowski. Ever since Trump got elected, women in government have been the grownups in the room.

My reaction is always “this is a pupa trying to emerge.”

If Trump encourages this sort of thing I’m expecting bear-baiting with wild dogs to come back in style. Modern-day presidential!

Shouldn’t be difficult to confirm, because there’s also no way he doesn’t randomly piss in empty cups left on any table anywhere.

Old here: some things did start showing up with Pres. Reagan in his second term, especially regarding any question he was asked that was remotely related to Iran-Contra. For months, Reagan would just answer “I don’t recall,” and it actually became a late-night TV punchline everyone would say in their “Reagan” voice. …

Does that include Ecuador’s embassy in London?

The children’s books about clowns back in the day were no picnic, either.

Fun but horrible Fact: Back when they were kicking around the Civil Rights Act of 1964, its congressional opponents “threw in” sex discrimination because they felt sure that would kill the bill; the bill they hated because it otherwise prevented discrimination on the basis of race, religion, or national origin.

Carry the fuck ON with the fucking fucks. It’s warranted.

That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the tweet: Major policy decision via twitter from the shitter. (Although Twitter from the Shitter might make a decent kinja burner name).

Honest best guess: Trump thinks “God” makes for an excellent selfie destination.

Southern Linguistic Forensics indicates that anyone who uses “knot” and “ass” in the same phrase has a loooooong vestigial tail. This is why Buddy prefers, even as an alleged grownup, the name “Buddy,” over his schoolyard nickname: Possum.

I wonder who Buddy’s buddies are: Skeeter; Lug Nut; Awgnacious; Peckergeddon; Milkweed; Funnel; Re-Pete; Uncle Dad . . .

Same. “Yank a knot in your head” is something I heard, one time, from a substitute teacher we had in 2nd grade, like 600 years ago. I’m sure “Buddy” is afraid of the word “Yank” and does not want to be seen as a Yankee Sympathizer / carpetbagger.

YesyesYesyesYes! Always look through any report, recap, or any other document (large or small) for when the verbs change to passive voice. This is where the doublespeak lives.

Exactly. Then, commercials for antidepressants with incredibly alarming potential side effects.

I wish the Khaki Scouts of Moonrise Kingdom were a real thing, just so “Lazy-Eye” could’ve met Donald Trump and asked him, “What’s your real job sir?”

Hey! Trump had debilitating bone spurs that kept him out of the BSA. But he went to a military school, so he always felt like he was an Eagle Scout.

AND they would’ve checked for any tourniquet cutting off the flow of blood to Trump’s brain; because they’re competent, sensible scouts.
