Hell, hire the actual anchors, offer them a raise to start Trump TV on closed circuit TV in the White House.

At least they doubled the membership fee prior to the inauguration. Gaining access to state secrets is worth at least $200k.

I’m very well aware of all those things, having filled out and signed said paperwork. You basically restated a lot of what I wrote. By “fine print” I didn’t mean literal fine print, I meant deportation is laid out as a possible consequence but it always seemed unlikely for something as minor as forgetting to update…

You weren’t kidding.

WHAT

I’m pretty unsettled myself. It starts with undocumented felons, then those with misdemeanors on their records, now just being undocumented is enough. Green Card holders genuinely could be next - they, too, can be deported if they’re felons or in some cases for misdemeanors such as DUIs, and there’s some fine print in…

Don’t give the Reality Star In Chief any more ideas.

The male San Bernadino shooter was also a citizen. Born in Chicago I believe. So your question goes double.

Ninth Circuit to Trump: Uh, you did. On account of that’s where we work and hand down decisions and such.

Ack, Salma! MY FEELS!

This screengrab made me furious but the replies gave me great joy. Let’s call it a net win against the dark side, shall we? We get so few these days.

Word. We are only three weeks in and I sincerely miss Dubya. These are strange times indeed.

I mean... yes, I see how that might be true, and some of the more obvious and out there shit is intended to distract us from shadier quieter stuff happening in the background, but some things you have to take on and fight back against even if you suspect they’re just a distraction. We don’t need to jump into fighting…

The image in my head was a foghorn, but yes!

I’m weirdly grateful that these people are so bad at dog whistling. “I’m going to make crap tons of money off all you losers taking photos of me.” “I’m calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” At least we know exactly where they’re coming from, no matter how much damage control…

I made this exact suggestion before reading yours!

The notarized affidavit is only required if the man in question is dead, you say? Then here’s a startup idea for Oklahoma enterpreneurs: create a list of pro-choice men who will come forward as “fathers” and approve abortions for $20. Then suggest to legislators if they have a problem with each of these men…

I wish I had a fraction of your poise. Though let’s call that a backup wish, first wish being that you hadn’t had to develop these strategies in the first place.

Yes! I love their insiders’ perspective, in part because they confirm that nope, very little of this is normal; but also in part because sometimes I learn I’m overreacting to certain things. Both of those are reassuring in different ways.

Me too! I’ve never been into podcasts but I’ve binge-listened to Pod Save America this week and am all caught up.
