Yes, yes. Let’s all focus on the failure of the republicans who control all three branches of the federal government, a majority of state houses and governorships, and are stacking the court system with rabid right wing ideologues. They’re downright pathetic.

Hell, Mr. Confederate Corey Stewart won in Virginia, and Steve King retweeted a British neo-Nazi earlier. The moderates never had a chance. They don’t have the spine to take the risk to stand athwart this utter folly and shout “stop”.

I’ve often considered organizing a campaign to just ship bucket after bucket of KFC to the White House. He’s just not eating ENOUGH.

Yes it’s real, and Trump is trying really hard to get the world and America to think that Canada are now the bad guys.

It’s not that the media made him look serious. They certainly exposed all the stupid and vile shit he said because it was great for ratings but also because a Republican candidate for president was saying it. It was definitely newsworthy.

Why doesn’t Trump just use Depends to fix his leaking problems?

Having spent some time with a few Trump die-hards, I think I’ve worked out why they continue to support him (aside from open racism/xenophobia—which, to be fair, not all of them share, though most clearly do):

Worth noting that this guy and his wife are a couple of Trump’s closest legal confidants.

The problem is that it shouldn’t be a competitive market in the first place, because human biological health is not an optional need over which consumers have full and sovereign discretion. When I’m lying unconscious after being hit by a bus, I am not exactly going to be able to google around and find the cheapest…

You don’t want the government deciding who gets treatment, but you’re fine with an anonymous corporate actuary and accountant deciding to deny coverage, like they do now? At least the government isn’t trying to spend your money on CEO bonuses, and you have a modicum of influence over its operations.
