you know what i will miss most about obama?

No, I’m not wasting my breath or energy. I’ve spent the last 12 years warning them that one day they’d go too far, and they’ve ignored every warning. They can play the martyrs all they want. My kid is thrilled, no more going to mass or listening to their thinly veiled racist bullshit. I’ll drink their sadness like…

Please, please, please, let the Trump-Pence administration’s first full scale scandal... be the contents of leaked emails.

Some friends of mine have done the same thing and it has basically torn their family apart. I don’t know your situation but if, like my friends, your goal is to keep hateful mother fuckers away from young and impressionable children then stay strong. No kindergartener needs to hear racial slurs and violent language…

As hard as it is, the best thing for any government employee to do right now is stay where you are. You are one of the few forces that can work to soften the blow that the Trump presidency is going to have on the world.

Ashley, I know you probably take a lot of shit over your work here, so I wanted to tell you I have started to deliberately check Deadspin when something like this breaks, knowing that your article will both appropriately reinforce my horror and commiserate with it. You’re great. Fuck anyone who tells you otherwise…

@PauloB - you’ll likely enjoy [this post] found on Tumblr. Basically saying that Trump expected a syllabus class from Obama, and instead got thrown into the first day at Law school.

defending his “smartest dude in sports” title belt, in my opinion.

It’s really nice to hear privileged people acknowledge and own their privilege, and make an effort to see things from other, less privileged viewpoints.

She converted to Judaism yet has no problem when her dad runs the most anti-Semitic ad that the ADL had to denounce.

He can’t handle Rosie O’Donnell criticizing him. How is he going to cope with 100+ million people hating his guts and criticizing his every move?

His life is no longer his own; he is a public servant now. His schedule will be set by the needs of the government. Everything (mostly) will be documented and recorded. Is he prepared for that? Considering that he ran for president as a project to heal a wounded ego, I sort of doubt it.

Agreed about NY Republicanism, but Giuliani really took a nosedive into crazytown in recent years. Maybe I was too young, but I don’t remember him being so insane as mayor of NYC.

How appropriate for an aspiring dictator to appoint his own family and those he promised spots in the new regime should they support him to positions of power.

Is Chris Christie the court jester in our new monarchy? The man is a literal Greek tragedy at this point. All he needs is for the kin killing to commence.

Hey Ivanka: Guess whose shoes I keep seeing at the Goodwill?

If I didn’t hate him so much, I’d feel sorry for him. Because there really is no way out. Claiming health problems makes him look weak. Quitting for any other reason just makes him look like a loser, and we know what he thinks of losers. I think towards the end of the campaign he was really getting excited about …

Three things I genuinely think Trump is concerned about today:

Throughout the campaign, Trump flew back to NYC nearly every single night because he can’t stand sleeping away from Trump Tower. Now he’s got to spend four years in Washington. He hates this.

“Although I’m sure his replacement would be almost as bad so it’s cold comfort at best.”

That is the face of a man who did not see this coming.
