I think he did try to give Fiorina and Kelly the regular Trump nastiness, but it plays very differently when thrown at a woman. I think it’s easier for people to see it as the bullying that it is. And Fiorina and Kelly are many things, but to their credit they’ve both beat the boys club to reach high levels in their…

I think she’ll be just fine. She’s going to plan for the fact that he’s going to say something super fucking insane (and I’m sure she wants him to do just that, because ultimately that’s good for her). After decades of crazy shit from the GOP, she’s been forged in the fires of people harassing her; the woman is…

This is a very good point! Especially regarding what sons and daughters are seeing and hearing. I hadn’t thought of that.

I’m thinking more like: Donald Trump has a portion of American society under hypnosis and he reinforces this hypnosis every time he waves his tiny hands. Some people, like Ryan and McCain know they are being manipulated, but their will power isn’t great enough to overcome Trump’s hold. And, of course, Trump is set on…

What the fucking fuck? This all feels like some kind of dystopian future YA novel, but just the part where everything really sucks. Where’s our plucky hero to save the day? (Simone Biles, what does your schedule look like after Rio?)

Yeah, if Hillary knew in that handshake moment, she probably knew that they’d had sex, not that it wasn’t consensual. So that makes her handshake moment, perhaps an attempt to intimate a woman HRC thought of as a mistress of sorts, not a victim of her husband-as-predator.

This is such an important point. I believe Broaddrick.

I really didn’t love Wilmire’s show, despite really wanting too. But TDS is garbage fire now.

That’s how I felt. He’s a great writer, but I’ve never enjoyed his presentation, from his bits on Stewart’s TDS, to the correspondents dinner (although I liked that one joke that got everyone’s panties in a twist), and on the Nightly Show.

I have to go to Chicago next summer for work, and my husband is going to come (and bring our baby who will be here by then!!) and I can't wait to go on the tour again.

God I love that architecture tour!

People are saying you’re smart, the smartest one.

I’m also imaging my husband (who is a very calm person, but also very protective and does not suffer fools) freaking the fuck out on these people if it were me, and that gives me comfort.

I just commented the same thing down thread. What are we doing to ourselves?

Shit, I shouldn’t read this at 4 months pregnant.

Yes!! I almost elaborated on my comment to make just that point. He’s very passive aggressive, and the thing that’s so shitty about that behavior is that it leaves you, on the receiving end, no agency! You’re essentially backed into the corner, where you can’t call the passive aggressive person on their behavior…

If you’re a polling junkee, you have to listen to five thirty eight’s podcast. They are great and regularly explain what the poll results and fluctuations actually mean.

This is a perfect example of the damage of the ‘gosh can’t you take a joke’ bullshit. This isn’t a joke, it’s not funny, but Trump will use that line to shirk all responsibility of inciting violence and being a crazy asshole.

These are the same people that think deporting millions and building a giant wall btwn the us and Mexico are not only good ideas, but entirely possible things to accomplish. Their notion of logistically possible is a bit skewed

This is exhausting. I wasn’t looking to get in a fight about candidates. I like TheSlot because people mostly have chill conversations about politics without trolling each other. I misjudged you’re initial comments and thought you were also one of those people. I'm out.
