Trump has to know that his death will not be memorialized or grieved like other Presidents and that has to eat at him.

Yep - DJT’s father did this very thing (as well as a whole host of other shit, such as setting up shell companies to transfer wealth to his children, etc...) to avoid paying his taxes. While grandpa might have been quite wily about it, the stooges that followed aren’t terribly original.

As the child of a retired postal worker, I approve. Could care less about whatever the convoluted reasoning for this somehow honoring GHWB, but postal workers are worked to death this time of year. My dad used to come home every Christmas Eve past dinner time, and pretty much just sink into the couch from exhaustion;…

My favorite thing about these “Mc’s” is that their turn-of-the-last-century ancestors who likely met with actual discrimination are probably rolling in their graves. These little snowflakes are super-sad that people on their college campus don’t like what they have to say - how can they even withstand such OPPRESSION??…

Also, he actually is a racist. If any of these assholes (clueless progressives mentioned, included) actually looked under the hood via a quick google search even, they would find out easily enough that: A.) He’s not a “successful businessman” and B.) He is racist as fuck and this poisonous apple didn’t fall far from…

“Morally, I don’t stand with him. But the collective immorality of the Republican Party, I strongly support.” - What she actually meant to say

I used to have that on a 45! (I’m in my thirties, so when I was a teen, anything on vinyl was novel). What in the ever-loving F was the deal with that song? (drugs, probably) And who was this Eskimo, Quinn? Why was everyone filled with glee at his arrival? (again- drugs, probably) So many questions...

The only other time I’d heard of her and also, the only time I’ve ever cheered on a Republican congressman! XD

Okay cool, Laura. Can I supply you with a list of all of the evangelical “Christians” on the Hill? Following them around and yelling at them over their religious promotion of abuse and oppression should keep you super busy.

NPR as an entity or Ira Glass, specifically? If I recall, it was Glass who was working overtime on reputation management. Shocking that when your whole show is about storytelling, someone might... approach you with a believable story that’s total bullshit? *gasp*!

But then that would require said journalist to suspend his belief in the power of his own pen/prowess... seems his ego was not interested in investigating any further.

Yup, my thoughts exactly. Also, her description of her safe sex practices is great, but wouldn’t do shit to prevent HPV and there are some strains (like the one that causes genital warts) that can cause harm to the baby.

Absolutely - it wasn’t just right-wing junk (though a significant portion of it was). I also remember seeing this circulating among leftist friends and thought, hmmm, what does Snopes have to say?

what a giant piece of shit Linda Tripp was

I was also in high school when this stuff was roiling, and also didn’t really care. Because of that, it’s so striking that my recall of the detritus that my brain did pick up re: this incident, was about the same as yours: look at all of these awful women! Such character flaws!

the first openly bisexual senator in U.S. history

Yep! It’s easier on the conscience to believe that these white women are all in some far-off location and certainly not people that you know or that you come into contact with.

I wish she would! Dee Thornton did pretty well against Brooks and I think that so much of it had to do with the turnout. I saw a ton of Donnelly and Thornton signs around here. My in-laws live in Marion and even in that rural area (which is somehow part of the 5th district as well... hmmm...), I was surprised to see a…
