Woah now Zika virus, slow down! You’re only supposed to show up during election season so politicians can use you to fear monger more votes!

What a vivid picture you painted in that single sentence. It’s beautiful in its horror really.

This is like a set of spinning plates but when they fall mushroom clouds appear over cities.

I can’t take it as a significant insult, if only because I’m sure he had no clue about the significance of the date, the definition of the word “desegregate”, or who tf Truman was.

My ex is a soldier, so I spent several years as a US Army spouse, and in five different duty stations, I remember exactly zero people giving a shit. I’m still friendly with a lot of soldiers and especially their wives: also no shits given. Even my ex, not the most progressive guy out there, said this was “fucking…

Shitter on the Twitter sounds more accurate...

The announcement was, to varying degrees, not well-received by several Republican lawmakers, including Armed Services Committee chairman John McCain, Florida Rep. Thomas Toomey, Army veteran Sen. Joni Ernst, Sen. Lindsey Graham, Sen. Richard Shelby, and Sen. Orrin Hatch.

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).

Maybe the President - who functions as the spokesman for the nation - should not announce major policies on a platform limited to 140 characters.

Me too. I feel like I should be used to this by now, but sometimes the cruelty just takes my breath away. Today was one of those days.

I’ve mentioned this a few other places, but it really fries my taters that Trump announced this ban on the 69th anniversary of Truman’s Executive Order to desegregate the military.

I’d bet that sums up probably 99% of the military.

In an interview on the local news, a trans Navy veteran said, “We’re getting this from someone who claimed bone spurs to avoid the Vietnam war, then got miraculously cured when he saw a golf course.” Pretty good.

Trump today bans Trans people for wanting to do what he got his racist fucknugget daddy to get him out of doing and claimed immigrants wanted to slice up White girls (?!!) but then had the gall to call a reporter who shouted a question at him about his ban “rude” on the WH lawn.

The reactions to her taught me just how disgusting this country actually is.

Ayup. How bad is it that some people are salty about her saying “kids ought to eat better and get more exercise”? How do you get butthurt about a statement like that?

Part of me always wanted the last few days of the Obama Administration to involve Michelle & Barack following the last few minutes of The Silent Bob & Jay movie, going around the country to beat the shit out of everyone who was talking greasy all 8 years.

I was waiting for this to show up on the Root. Some of the comments on Jezebel make me sick.

I miss her.
