It’s odd to me that we spent four flaccid years listening to Trump tell, what, like 30,000 lies? something like that? But when he says he’s “going to be a dictator on day one” all media (except Fox News et al) soils its collective pants. Trump is a fucking buffoon. Pearl clutching and swooning is exactly what he wants. Why does everyone continue to give it to him? And before you tell me to ignore it at my peril, tell me exactly how 50 states and 330 million people are going to get on board.
And so it goes...

how can this be? Don’t I benefit from the delicious almond caramel cluster ice cream served at the local ice cream shop. 
I agree it was a dirty trick, but the Democrats were on board too. That’s why I think it’s all bullshit performance politics so everyone can go back to their constituents and say “look at me! See how I’m not a racist! See how I’m the good guy!” Give me a freaking break!
It shouldn’t have been up to the university presidents to call bullshit. It should’ve been up to ANYONE on that committee possessing a fucking conscience!
I prefer passing them out to children when they are leaving school. 
I did. I thought they were being badgered, and yes attacked. I think this says it all from the article...
“Over prepared and over lawyered given the hostile forum and high stakes, she provided a legalistic answer to a moral question, and that was wrong. It made for a dreadful 30-second sound bite in what was more than five hours of testimony.”
30 sec soundbites are great for performance politics, and these ladies campaign victims. 
Do you believe that they are anti-Semitic?
Jiu-jitsu liberal. Couldn't drink well enough to be a writer or a lawyer. Became a stoned philosopher instead. Sometimes pay the bills.
