He was also emotionally not ready to run/take on the responsibility after his son’s death. Totally understandable.

Saw the stories on that yesterday. Glad you’re safe! Soooo many earthquakes all over yesterday, it’s almost like the earth is making its disapproval known.

And then they spend the next 4 years quietly frustrating the orange menace by randomly moving things around the house to confuse him and fucking with his schedule. I would die.

“Comfortable middle” is exactly it. A friend of mine noted that among her Trump-supporting ex-relatives, all of them owned their own homes, as well as expensive consumer goods that people like us either can’t afford ourselves (or more likely, accept that we can’t afford so as not to burden ourselves with unnecessary…

What a bunch of idiots. If the Republicans couldn’t reel Trump in before the RNC, why do they think they can do it now?

I saw that ridiculousness and immediately gave money to Equality NC instead, and urged people on my Twitter timeline to also give their money to groups supporting communities the NC GOP is actively working to harm.

It’s the only contest he’s going to win this year, I hope.

What the actual fuck is that entire paragraph about Hawaiians?

They sure seem to understand presumption of innocence when it comes to Trump being accused of assaulting so many women, despite his own admission on tape. But when there’s no evidence of any of the things they’ve accused the Obamas or Hillary Clinton of? Oh, they’re totally guilty.

You know, he probably still wakes up in the middle of the night from the most awful flashbacks.

I was so disgusted when he threw Melania under the bus like that and then told her to stand up in front of everybody. It wasn’t funny, it was abusive.

That’s a conspiracy theory I could actually get on board with if I thought there was a snowball’s chance in hell of it being true. But no, the much more depressing truth is that there are as many equally terrible people in this country, and Trump is just their loud orange avatar.

That doesn’t even make any sort of physiological sense.

It’s from a very famous SNL OG cast skit.

That’s Siobhan Thompson! She’s very funny.

This is not a normal election. Clinton is polling within 4 points of Trump here and I am getting the distinct impression from both my parents, longtime Texas Republicans, that they will not be voting for Trump. They hate him. Most of my heavily conservative family hate him. That doesn’t mean they’re going to vote…

Yes! That’s what I got out of that scene too. And at that time the programming held, because there was no immediate threat to her. It seemed pretty clear that her “place” in Westworld is as a perennial victim. But in the barn, her self-preservation (which she isn’t even supposed to have) kicked in and overrode it. …

He did, but since we haven’t been shown much of what happened beyond that, we don’t really know if she did or not.

Fremdschämen is the word you’re looking for.

I’m trying to wrap my head around a person being offended on behalf of a Jewish state and accusing someone of being a Nazi while themselves using anti-Semitic slurs. Just... fucking wow.
