My hope (read: fervent prayer) is that Trump listens to President Obama, realizes that he (Trump) is surrounded by chuckleheads and President Obama becomes the person Trump trusts most for counsel.

Trump has been waiting for the moment where President Obama had to congratulate him and shake his hand and show him around for five years. Ever since the 2011 Correspondents Dinner when Obama humiliated him Trump has been fueled. And now? Now comes the pants-shitting reality after that moment.

No, it absolutely is a popularity contest. Some people are bad candidates who would make good officials (Hillary), some people are good candidates who make bad officials (Reagan), and some people are good candidates who make good officials (Obama).

I voted for Hillary (I didn’t vote in the CA primary because I didn’t like her or Bernie) although not enthusiastically (I had initially planned not to but I told a friend of mine that I just couldn’t support her because of my conscience she said, “that must be a nice option. But I don’t want to lose my right to…

I hope he keeps going with it. It’ll be his first impeachable offense.

I prefer to think of it as denial.

I was considering not voting for POTUS because California blah, blah, blah and I was talking to a friend of mine and said, “I just can’t bring myself to support her.” He looked at me and said, “must be nice to not have to worry.” I voted for HRC.

Yes to both. Forcing condoms on porn isn’t going to make porn safer, it’s just going to drive it out of California to Nevada.

I do medical billing and we had a patient who couldn’t afford to pay for her appointment and we don’t normally do payment plans. I sighed deeply into the phone and said, “I’m going to be honest with you. If this were yesterday I wouldn’t be able to work with you. But today? I can’t bring myself to not do something…

I’m angry, because I’m a privileged white dude (albeit a Jewish one, and I know who they’re coming for once they don’t have the Muslims, Hispanics, and Blacks to scapegoat) and I’m NOT okay. It won’t be okay that Trump won. I didn’t believe in Hillary Clinton but CHRIST was she better than the alternative.

This is the darkest timeline.

I will say, as the granddaughter of Ashkenazi Jews who fled various shtetls before the Holocaust, defeating Trump has felt incredibly important to me this year.

Alex is too busy writing his manifesto on why he hates Tim Kaine.

I voted for Robert Sarvis in the 2013 Virginia gubernatorial election. In my defense, Ken Cucinelli (the Republican nominee) was the singularly awful hatchet man/mean face of the hateful administration of Bob McDonnell but Terry McAuliffe was just a bagman for the DNC. I figured McAuliffe would win in a walk.

I’ll follow the lead when New Yorkers quit droning on about pizza, Hamilton, and how things were better in the 80's.

If Chicago becomes as insufferable as New York we’re all fucked. Let Chicago be Chicago. They’ve always been better than New York.

My dad’s an agnostic but I trust his WASP-y rectitude. I like to keep firm compartments between my family and sex but I know my parents love each other. So there might be a creep in there, but there’s nothing wrong with a little dirtiness as long as it’s expressed with a consenting partner.

No, that’s why I said he’s talented. I’ve never seen Paltrow in anything where I didn’t think she could be easily replaced.

Bingo

Like I said, I don’t think he’s perfect. And I could absolutely see him being quiet while a superior said deplorable shit, especially when he was younger. I could see him saying things that at the time might have been acceptable but wouldn’t fly today. But asking to hold a woman’s breasts? Saying shit like Trump did?…
