true - more than half the country saw right through him.

....and for fuck’s sake, can we put to rest the idea that buying ‘too many’ presents for kids is gonna make them materialistic and shallow? Having parents with shitty values is what makes kids materialistic and shallow, not giving them too many Lego sets or whatever. The world may be fucked, but it isn’t some…

No kids here either. . . but I vote they get science kits from Santa to prepare them for one day inheriting an earth that has become a toxic wasteland.

Yep. I don’t have kids so I’m gonna watch all the parents weigh in. *joins you*

Oooohhhh dis gon be good

Possibly because Donald is terrified of a bunch of women who dislike him standing up and saying so. That’s my working hypothesis.

Presented without comment:

The more we hear of what the Republicans have planned, the more I’m reminded of one of the last things said by Hijikata Toshizō near the end of the Meiji Restoration... He knew at that point that their war was hopeless, but asked what history would say of the Tokugawa Shogunate if nobody fought to defend it. Even…

Hell, Dubya’s gonna look like a fucking genius after 4 years of Trump.

Same thing when people say that schools should be run like businesses. The two entities have fundamentally different purposes and practices, why would you try to make education fit into a business model? And how’s that experiment working out so far? Our public schools are some of the worst in the developed world. This…

Every headline relating to Trump is like reading an Onion headline out of context. You do a double take, read it again, and then you realize it’s a joke.

Except it’s not, and then you just scream internally forever.

I think there’s quotes from Trump himself that make that clear. It was an unplanned pregnancy and he said something to her like “well what are you going to do about it and she was like well this is the best day of our lives! And I was like yeah great.” This was on Howard Stern. He was pretty horrible.

Hey, I mean, I’m pretty sure Trump doesn’t believe in paying anyone. At least it’s a mutual disregard.

I think Jez quoted her as saying that when she told him that she was pregnant, he said, “Well, what are we going to do about it?”

She probably has the same problem most of us have when we gaze upon a pumpkin that 10 people have shat in.

Slightly off-topic: IS anybody other than me finding it a little creepy that his daughter Ivanka, seems to be preparing to fulfill the FLOTUS role? It seems that Melania has little or no interest in being FLOTUS. In fact, her attitude this entire time has been more along the lines of “I did not sign up for this.”

I just feel actively bad all the time

Maybe.

In case anyone out there was confused about how the voting/enfranchisement system was rigged, here it is. Jill Stein filed for a recount. She paid the required fees. And now, suddenly, she is not “aggrieved” enough to demand a recount. Any registered voter should be entitled to demand a recount if they can pay the…
