God, for a moment there, I thought that was an image of Steven Miller being in charge. (shudders.) As the last actual Nazi left in this White House, he already has a terrifyingly outsized influence. To imagine him as Chief of Staff, even though he is the Wyrmtongue to Trump for matters of foreign policy and…

She was perfect, and she looked like she had a blast doing it. How often do you see that happen in real-time in sports, or anything else for that matter?

Schmitt has formally left the Republican Party. And with his masterful use of language (it’s always a pleasure just to hear him speak), now untethered from any professional GOP loyalties, oh, man has he been on a roll!

Clearly the solution is to build the wall high enough to keep the airplanes out of the country.

Godspeed, Teach!

This is actually great parenting. There's no need to coddle children, they need to know what Trump is. Now if only we can get over this language in schools.

Aww, These ladies are gonna have so much fun trolling old white rebuplican dudes!

I was one of those guys, still one of those guys, 20 years later.

Trump is the culmination of decades of republican cruelty and race baiting. He is the ultimate republican and hopefully he will be the last republican president. Anyone who still calls themselves a republican has just outwardly embraced the fascism that is the core of republicanism since Nixon. They should all go to…

Yeah, it’s not like he lost his child in a school shooting and was immediately accused of being a crisis actor; threatened and harassed by people who claim his child never existed.

I would like to second your proclamation to fuck off.

People never do think about why we have these myths. They act as a pillow-fort of the mind; the difference being that while you can rebuild a pillow fort in reality, once it’s torn down by some fucking jackass who think he knows what’s best for other peoples children it’s gone forever.

And no-one but the child and…

Ditto. We’ve talked to our kid (also 9) about isn’t it nice that we can help do nice things for other people at Christmas, and prompted her to wonder why “Santa” would give more/nicer gifts to some kids than to others who were equally good, but she hasn’t quite let go of the idea of Santa Claus. And that’s fine with…

There’s still time for Splinter writers to get their entries in for “Worst Take of 2018"

Agreed with and echoed; adding when I was 10 30 years ago I still believed. I was being raped and tortured multiple times a week, I have scars all over my body and mind from what was being done to me.

I was in fucking hell, and at the end of that year I lay on my side in the bathroom, try to not let my family hear me…

My rule of thumb is, if you find yourself even slightly siding with Trump on anything, you are probably in the wrong.

Can we all agree that this show was better than it had any right to be. 

One clever and well-made show (Z Nation), and one incredibly dumb show (Midnight, Texas) cancelled on consecutive days.

Sounds like you’re waving the bloody sock here.
