That he wants to continue his rallies is so disturbing. First, because while I’m sure he had a great time being adored by his rabid fans, being president is not just a nationwide tour for validation from hordes of people. Second, it’s at those rallies that he stokes the fire of white nationalism. Though if doing

I don’t think it will actually be treason, but I do think Trump and his lackeys will go about eroding 1st amendment rights by other suppressive means - veiled threats like the one Kellyanne made here, bringing frivolous suits against the press, and general vengeful behavior (with some abuse of power thrown in for good

“I would be very careful about exercising your First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Free speech in a Trump administration extends only to fawning praise, not to criticism or dissent of any kind. You knew this when you voted us in.” -said the scorpion to the fucked democracy.

Right? I don’t want any of that On the Beach lifestyle where I’m the part of the populace that is just waiting for the radioactive waves to get me.

But it’s so cold here. Winter is nine months of the year. It’s more accurate to say “winter is almost always” instead of “winter is coming.”

Beauty thread! I have been carefully making my list for this week’s Sephora VIB sale for MONTHS. What’s everyone getting from Sephora this weekend? I’ll kick it off with a few of my faves - Blinc mascara (you either love it or hate it and I LOVE it), Ren’s Purity Rosa Centifolia Cleansing Balm, and in my cart to try

PSA because I didn’t know before I read it here - he’s apparently a horrible racist. I think people posted some videos on Jez a while ago but I don’t want to link them because they are awful and I don’t want to promote him - I’m sure you could search around and find it.

Yes! I bought all the stuff for Ina’s chicken stew w/ biscuits today and plan to make that tomorrow and have it for the week. Yay, comfort food. Feel better - enjoy your soup and force your fluids!

Nobody show up at all for the win. This fool is allegedly making his team already find ways for him to do rallies after he is sworn in because he laps up the adulation. And he gets attention for stamping his feet and saying “boo-hoo, there were protestors.” It would infuriate him if no one showed up at all way more

That is a ridiculous dog who looks like she escaped from Fraggle Rock and I love her she’s adorable.

I’m sorry to hear that - aside from being hateful I don’t even understand how that’s a logical response. One of my good friends is Russian, her family (and her husband’s) fled Russia due to religious persecution, and they have both lived here since their teens. She has a noticeable accent, and today she told me she

Freaking Gingrich. His resurgence is the comeback nobody asked for. Don’t Republicans remember what a liability he was to THEM? It’s like Republicans are having a terrible house party and forgot they kicked Gingrich out years ago for being a fall down mess.

Yeah, prob the right attitude to shrug it off and not engage. But it’s definitely a compliment - if I went over to Breitbart to be a shit disturber I’d totally be gunning for a commenter who like you who is sharp and funny (or whatever the equivalent of that is over there, shudder).

This. Is. Some. Fuckery. I’m well aware you are perfectly capable of dismissing or engaging as you see fit but I am all about kicking-ass and taking names right now, so if I see this fool there will be WORDS.

I’m giving all straight white dudes who are all “it’ll be fine” free kicks in the pants today (literal or figurative, at my discretion), and every day for the next four years. Number of straight, white men given IRL metaphorical pants-kicks today: 1.5. Includes my friend with a baby daughter at home who told me

You are not overreacting, and I honestly believe it’s so important to have uncomfortable conversations right now. I just got back from dinner where I spent ten minutes in a heated discussion with a good friend’s husband about why I think it’s morally indefensible to have voted for Trump. Trump’s rhetoric is uniquely

Aha, I just looked it up, Brissett was the first black QB ever to start for the Pats, but Michael Bishop was the first black QB for the team.

As a devoted Pats fan, I wholeheartedly echo that sentiment. Belichick and Brady can fuck right off. I hope Gisele is making Brady sleep on the couch. And that he gets a crick in his neck from sleeping on said couch and that our third string QB (who is the first black QB for the team) has to take over.

“Relax.” GTFO. Nothing sends me from zero to blind rage like a guy telling me to just “calm down”.

I couldn’t bear to watch Colbert’s special last night, which came on after it became apparent HRC was going to lose. I tried and I was angry at him for trying to be funny when everything was falling apart. I’m going to give Samantha Bee a whirl tonight for some white hot rage, but I’m still not ready to joke about it.
