I’m still going with rock stupid. I’ve seen too many of his type in my classrooms—all bluster to cover up the fact that they don’t have the capability of abstract thought. Talks a good game but when it comes down to it has nothing of substance to say; that’s stupidity masquerading as bravado. You say he knows…

It’s crazy because without the job he’d NEVER recieve even the basic of security clearances. He has all the red flags of someone who would be easily bribed or blackmailed into giving away classified information.

To clarify, I’m opposed to the death penalty, even though there are people who are certainly worthy of it.

I am personally opposed to the death penalty.

I think a lot of it looks like teaching someone. Going slowly and non-judgementally, asking a lot of questions, and not getting distracted from what you’re talking about goes a long way. Even if you’re not able to pull off a 180 degree conversion, small shifts in position are actually huge victories. Even if it’s just…

I believe that love IS the answer ... but not the kind of passive, feel-good, saccharine platitudes and symbolic kind deeds that Van Jones seems to be talking about. The kind of love that we need is challenging and revolutionary and ACTIVE, and it isn’t the same thing as simple niceness.

I think (just like with heat) that it’s the moisture in the air. I’ll take 10 degrees over a foggy 35 degree day.

This thread is some bleak pissing contest snow machoism special snowflake oddness.

I’m sorry .. I didn’t realize you were writing this comment from Standing Rock .. I don’t think she was making light of your suffering in the cold .. umm .. wait you are at the protests right? Cause, if you aren’t .. that is just weak sauce ..

I absolutely agree but while I am stranded here doing phone interviews I have to write something. That’s my job. So I did this. I’m certainly not planning a series on my coldness or my feelings.

For you, being trapped in a hotel in North Dakota during a blizzard in subzero temperatures will be a story you tell for the rest of your life. For midwesterners, it was Tuesday.

My dad grew up on a Vermont maple syrup farm. My family’s been making maple syrup there since the 1790s. I once jokingly suggested trying our local Connecticut syrup at a diner, and he responded with “Why don’t you try walking home, shithead.”

I have taken seven Facebook quizzes just this past weekend. Secretary of Education, plz.

This is why I Kinja..

Yep, honestly, that’s where I am. He actually seems to try to think sometimes? This is where we are now in America. Praising an appointee because he may not be inherently evil and may try to think.

Well, then the anti-crime legislation writes itself. Just issue everyone a belt buckle.

Although I don’t have a medical degree and am a man, I’ve decided to pursue a head OB/GYN role since I spent the most formative parts of my life in utero. You’re an inspiration to us all, Dr. Carson.

Mandatory in all HUD homes.

He’s like a fucking toddler that demands a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and by the time it’s made he doesn’t want it anymore and has run off to eat dirt.
