I’m choosing to believe my days blogging about Trump are numbered (I need to for my sanity), so I’m going for broke.

THEY YANKED THE BABY ACCOUNT FROM THE WOMB HIS TINY HANDS

I like candidates who weren’t rushed offstage, okay?

hi everyone!

You mean HYPNOtherapy, right? Because I can only imagine HIPPOtherapy (while somewhat appropriate in this case) is not what you meant:

That’s deep. I almost feel sorry for them. Almost. That’s the most troubling part for me: how do they relate to him? They can’t really believe they will have a shot at a life like his. The birth lottery has already prevented that. What sort of cognitive projection is required to see yourself in him?

No, he’s not qualified in any way. Remember when the big talking point was that Obama lacked the experience to be president? It’s so amazing that since that time the Republicans have changed their minds completely. Either that or they’re just shameless hypocrites? Nah ....

His supporters believe he is the living embodiment of the American dream. They think he’s earned the right to “trade up” whenever a wife no longer lives up to the trophy status in his mind. They also think he’s going to share the wealth by bringing back jobs that are no longer sustainable in the US. They’re so blinded…

Totes agree. If Hillary wins, her best move is to Give No Quarter. Trump’s supporters are just xenophobic know-nothings with delusions of relevance. Reminding them of their terrible judgement as he is tried for defrauding students through Trump University, and as his financial shenanigans during the campaign, like…

Oh, yeah- it’s not like people are even doing anything at all unique with their Trump worship. It fucking bugs me that anyone would act like they are, like we must all try to understand the plight of the poor Trumpians. No we don’t. Is it that hard to understand that some people are just weak, that they do bad things…

If it gets an momentum in the next 72 hours, it will matter. It gets momentum if they can’t make Trump shut up about it once in his life. He fires off one tweet, he rants in a few speeches, and the news shifts. The election isn’t about Hillary like its been the last week, people remember how much of a schmuck he is…

Trump has been staying strongly on message and avoided being baited on anything now that his campaign has been given new life by the FBI.

“If Trump were an adulterer too...”

Trump supporter: “Well, maybe he did strangle a baby but......emails!”

Me, too. I lost a close friend about the same time Oswalt’s wife died. I’ve watched a few interviews where he talks about his grief, and they’ve been really helpful. He talks about it in a way that makes a lot of sense to me. I’m in that place now where the numb slog occasionally gives way to a good day, and I’m…

To me, the waves of grief idea really worked. I would just be doing something and all of a sudden I would be drowning in grief, helpless, taken by this huge wave. The waves keep coming, but farther apart and smaller, and now they’re more like a small, twingey reminder instead of a tsunami I was helpless against.

We have security cameras in our home (my husband wanted them and set them up, and I really love them now that we work such different hours — we use them to send each other goofy messages).

Yeah, “red flags” are easy to spot in hindsight, but so often they are perfectly consistent with innocent behavior. You can’t go through life just assuming that every slightly odd behavior is something dark and nefarious. There’s an implicit trust you just have to have in people that the things they are doing…

A good friend of mine died suddenly at 38 of a massive heart attack. Undiagnosed heart condition, it turned out. He lived with a woman most of his friends hated, and they all blamed her for not calling an ambulance fast enough. Finally, his mother told them to cut that shit out. The guy dropped dead. There was no way…
