Yeah, hospice has been nice. I’m an aspiring writer and my grandmother asked me to write something about a grandson who’s grandmother is dying (no pressure!). I did and my dad got a chance to read it to her, which was about as important to me as anything.

This is the fucked up part: Trump’s nominees (excluding Mattis and Verma) are uniformly terrible. They’ll breeze right through with conflicts of interest and rank incompetence. This dildo will be denied. Amazing.

Vlad and Bonds definitely deserve to be in. Roids be damned for Bonds.

I vacillate because of Trump’s ego. I can’t see him just letting someone else run the show.

Trump’s DOE nominee wanted to abolish the department, his HHS nominee wants to end social security and Medicare and repeal the ACA, his WH budget director didn’t pay taxes, his SOS ran a shadow foreign policy as the head of Exxon-Mobil, his DOE secretary never attended a public school... Who’s he going to nominate as…

I think that there’s a difference between appealing to the average GOP voter (see: Trump, W.) and being actually dumb (Rick Perry). Rick Perry is who George W. Bush pretended to be. When you lower the expectations the way that Trump and W. have just being able to execute a speech and not shit yourself is an…

Truthfully, I vacillate. I worry that Trump is going to be so terrified that he just serves as a figurehead and autosigner for the bullshit the GOP wants to push through. And that while I might escape unscathed it’s going to fuck a LOT of my fellow Americans who are women, POC, LGBTQ, and Muslim and that is absolutely…

Stay safe and good luck! I wish for peaceful demonstrations and a revelation that Trump has been pulling an Andy Kauffman level con and is actually the second coming of FDR.

I don’t know, I think that Trump is a narcissist and all but I think he also looks for things that effect him. I actually don’t think Trump is stupid. I think that he’s classless and ignorant of things and arrogant enough to not realize he’s ignorant. But I don’t think he’s stupid.

Good call. But maybe it’s just my privilege as a middle class white dude but my prediction is that things aren’t as bad as the worst case scenario (the worst case scenario being that Mad Max: Fury Road was prescient). My hunch is that the first thing that is passed is a massive tax cut. Then, when they get to the ACA…

[D]on’t forget that the Obama Administration does not have a good relationship with the press. In fact, a 2015 report by the Columbia Journalism Review found that “the media most responsible for covering the president and his inner sanctum are given little insight into how decisions are made or who influences those…

Yeah, the Cherokee thing pissed me right the fuck off. I was livid because it was such a trivial piece of blown bullshit.

You’re right, the right does hate Hillary. But I’ve only seen the usual suspects go after Senator Warren. The enthusiasm around her campaign would easily kill that AND Trump will be a disaster and he almost lost last time. I have faith Senator Warren could get 100,000 votes more than HRC, and that’s all she’d need.

Thank you, I needed that.

Thank you! Yeah, it’s a shitty situation.

I was thinking Warren/Warner 2020

Thank you! It sucks. But it’s made even worse with the impending ascension of the Orange Menace.

I’ll drag Trump on a lot of things but I’m willing to bet he doesn’t read a lot of books BUT he reads a lot of newspapers.

Nothing gives me a case of the softies faster than, “I don’t like to read” on a first date.

I can’t even handle this right now. My grandmother just entered end of life care at hospice and then seeing this I’m crying at work. I also watched the most recent episode of black-ish and I’m all in my feelings right now.
