This situation is *exactly* the reason the Founders created the Electoral College in the first place. And honestly, if a candidate as manifestly unqualified as Trump doesn’t trigger the EC into action, then it basically has no reason to continue to exist ...

It’s not a favor, it’s recognition that the mechanism in place—as imperfect as it is—is the best hope we have of avoiding a calamitous presidency.

Shit.

Baseball is the only sport that actually looks like America.

Yeah, all those emails that the FBI never found are totally worse than this stuff.

Grown ups tweeting about SNL at 3 in the morning.

yeah I love a good conspiracy theory but pizzagate was hard to get into even on a hate-reading level because it was actually so confusing and ridiculous. there are so many layers of bullshit and different people being dragged into it with such weird proof, trying to follow it is impossible. And thats when I realized…

The Planet Money podcast just did an episode in which they tracked down one of the guys who writes those fake news stories, including the one about the supposed Clinton email investigator’s suicide. He said that he originally also posted stories designed to appeal to liberals, but the articles would almost immediately…

The president elect says there was voter fraud. Better do a nationwide recount.

Not only that, but it’s usually some no-name brand that’s just advertised as “55-INCH TV FOR $100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

It amazes me that people haven’t caught on to the fact that “doorbuster deals” are just a dirty trick to get them in the door and nothing more. The store knows that, once they are gone, people will end up buying something else just so that they don’t feel like they left empty handed.

The right care about power, holding power and using it to fuck over as many people as possible before they lose it. Fuck…

The thing is Trump would still come out the winner. All the glory none of the work. He’s seeing just how awful the job is. And he could kill being a victim and capitalize on an alt right trump tv network. There would definitely be violence. But this violence has been coming to a head for a long time, being fomented by…

I have news for you - a coup is happening right now

He is starting to intimidate them by denying the press pool access to him. This meeting is to further intimidate the media to bend to his will. He doesnt want the media to criticize his actions. This is a fucking call to arms for any and everyone who respects free press. This is a direct threat.

Not to generalize, but I’m sure most women who marry old sacks of crap like Trump are eventually hoping to be wealthy widows. Becoming First Lady must be the worst possible outcome for Melania.

Midtown businesses are already preparing lawsuits.

Also “increasingly marginalized” = increasingly less completely dominant in all spheres, so. Cry me a river indeed.
