That’s the one!

I read an essay recently about the rise of Evangelical Christianity in the US government, and, according to the author, the religious far right in this country have adopted the belief that the Constitution is like the Bible in that it was dictated to its authors by God, that it ordains them as the Chosen People, and…

I don’t think Trump really wants a full-on civil war; he just wants to swing his dick around and feel like a big man, and has never so much as conceived of the possibility of facing lasting negative consequences for his actions that he can’t squirm his way out of. However, I think Bannon *does* want an all-out war,…

I’ve heard it said before that the best argument against white supremacy is white supremacists. If that’s the pinnacle of human genetics, then the species as a whole is doomed, anyway.

Kardashian-West for President 2020: Fuck It. Just, Fuck It.

The thought has occurred to me that that’s exactly what Bannon wants (I’m convinced that he’s the one actually running the show; I think Trump honestly believes his own hype, and Bannon is all too happy to tell him, “keep it up, the people love this! And they love you! Don’t listen to the press, they’re just trying to…

Dick Cheney has actually come out against the Muslim ban! Dick Cheney!!! That’s like if Hitler himself heard your ideas and was just like, “woooahh there, buddy, let’s stop for a sec and talk this over...”

Hell, *I’m* thinking about buying a gun, and I’ve got PTSD from my now ex-husband holding me hostage at gunpoint. I don’t think it’s possible to overstate how bad this is going to get, and although I don’t hold any illusions that the citizenry will be able to mount much of an armed resistance against the actual…

That was the thing that struck me, as well. Like, I guess people don’t become border patrol officers because they’re such kindhearted humanitarians, but the gleefulness with which they’ve enacted these new orders makes me wonder if there isn’t something even more sinister going on.

This comment is beautiful.

Can you imagine the Obamas trying to figure out what it was if they were gifted one of those things with no explanation? “Well, it looks like a scarf, but what’s with the little loop and the bow...?” “I dunno... maybe it’s some kind of table runner or something?” “I don’t think so, but I guess maybe...” *Michelle…

Right? Like, any dude who has ever raised a child to walking age, and then gone on to produce another child, is proof that ball kicks don’t cause sterility very often (my son, for example, used to play a game where he’d stand at his father’s feet while he slept, and then leap onto him, usually landing in the gut…

You pretended not to be proud? Shit, if she were my daughter, I’d have taken her out for ice cream!

I went to New York for New Years Eve a few years back, got tired of being out in the cold at Times Square, and went to a diner a few blocks away. At one point, my now-ex went outside to bum a smoke off somebody, and, while he’s smoking and chatting with the kind stranger who shared his cigarettes with him, a dude…

Well, to be fair, she didn’t take a two Americans’ jobs, she took a job from one American and one Russian.

Yeah, I get the impression that she’s actually fairly intelligent, but has been raised inside an itty bitty, all-white bubble for her entire life. Unfortunately, at this point, I highly doubt she’ll ever get shaken out of it.

Don’t forget Hamilton. They’re boycotting Hamilton, too. Because apparently conservatives have no idea what a boycott is or how it works, but they like the idea.

I’ve heard it said that what Trump really wanted, although he may or may not realize it, is actually to be in Hillary’s position of winning the popular vote, but losing the electoral college. That way, he’d get to stamp and scream and write a veritable novel of a tweetseries about how unfair it is, and gloat about…

Because you made me picture Mr. and Mrs. Trump bumping uglies, I’m going to share with you how I imagine those conversations probably go:
