BS. The average politician is not trained to deal with one tenth of the crap Hillary Clinton has to go through. There’s a word for that, I’m sure...

Picked the wrong year to stop snorting cocaine.

Who? Barry? Are you upset that Barry has a following, or Schilling?

Well done.

She doesn’t fuck anything up. She is absolutely reviled, and surrounded by stories about her that she has little control over—and when she attempts to exercise personal control over her stories, she gets ripped apart*. Excepting Trump, she is the least popular major party candidate in modern history. As someone who’s

Thank you!

Holy shit. Starred a thousand times for saying “you are right. Sorry” on the InterWebz.

If the story is “Donald Trump refuses” then so be it. You’re right that traditional journalism is not able to navigate these waters,

This is the proper way to disagree. I was getting disappointed in Kinja til I got here.

When my daughter was very, very young, she used the term “gulva”, because she ended up conflating “girl parts” and “vulva”, both of which we used. It was very cute.

Except that so many of the problems with the previous seasons can be traced to leaving the books.

How is he a troll? He’s made no announcements. It’s other people that are speculating.
