Katie’s talking to her editors after this shitshow like

First Wolff and now this. Seems like Maggie’s BIG DONALD BOOK is destined to either get scooped by competitors or overshadowed by colleagues’ more substantive efforts.

“broad” is a great word. It conjures up images (ymmv) of a beefy, middle aged woman who’s seen it all (or most of it) and is going to plainly call bullshit on any bullshit that needs to be called.

Had to look it up but I knew it would be worth it. (It was.)

Don’t like Maher but that is goddamn hilarious.

Man, a night of “all the acts that conservative Christians claim preserves virginity” positions would be fucking LIT.

Take out the loophole and make it a “whoever gives in first loses” contest (consequences tbd) and we could be talking about a real winner of a position here.

there’s a lot to be said for hatefucks tbh

Maybe he’s gay and closeted. That possibility always keeps me from piling on “lol can’t get a girl” threads.
