Dads like Mike have had to adjust to a world in which their daughters, who broke down crying on election night, seem to suddenly and inexplicably identify with socialism, social justice, and snowflakes.
Yes. “Inexplicably”.
Reading stories like this, I always feel extremely fortunate that my moral compass points the way it does largely because of my parents, not despite them.
"David K. from San Antonio, TX, called it “A real shithole. Owned by a malignant racist. Pee on the sheets. KKK in the lobby. Russians all over the place. Sad! Steaks over cooked with ketchup. Bibles in the rooms are missing lots of commandments. Mini-bar only has diet coke and Big Macs. Fourth rate shithole.”
tl;dr
the first LOL or SMH part, whichever you mood:
Bloomberg News’s Jennifer Jacobs reports that Wolff worked his way into the White House by pitching the book with a laughably misleading working title — “The Great Transition: The First 100 Days of the Trump Administration” — and basically stayed there because nobody with any authority thought to question his motives or presence.
But why? Like, why are they bothering to do this at all?
#ReleaseTheMemo is just another stone along the path of idiots thinking the GOP hasn’t lied about this stuff before. Just like Dana Rohrabacher claiming he had proof that the DNC wasn’t hacked but had the information leaked, and met with Assange to discuss a deal. This largely bullshit memo from two of the least effective Democrats in Congress isn’t anything worth paying attention to until their primaries come up.
Indecline the creators of Ku Klux Klowns releases a new project film “Grave New World”:
“Members of the group constructed a cemetery entryway and tombstones, commemorating certain liberties or laws that Trump “essentially killed during his first year in office,” an anonymous spokesperson said Sunday. Five members of the collective installed the piece overnight so it would be ready for the anniversary Saturday morning.”
“The dates on the tombstone correspond with some of these actions throughout the first year,” the spokesperson said.
“One tombstone, “Decency,” corresponds with the date of Trump’s inauguration, while another “Our Future” matches the date the president ordered an end to DACA, the program that protects young undocumented immigrants from deportation.” -NJ.com

I want to talk about lyrics, but I want to first start by talking about politics. Where were you guys on election night?
Eminem: Watching the TV in fucking disbelief. I was in my basement, on the phone back and forth with friends like, “He’s going to fucking win.”
Rosenberg: I saw the results coming in early in the day and I was hopeful. [But] I thought Trump was gonna win. There was a lot of voter apathy, and it was not good. That made me really feel like people weren’t gonna turn out enough.
Eminem: I called it just from the rallies he was having when he first started running. Because just watching the impact he has, they were fanatics. There is something to be said about the person who really felt like he might do something for them – and he just fucking duped everybody. I know that Hillary [Clinton] had her flaws, but you know what? Anything would have been better [than Trump]. A fucking turd would have been better as a president. When I [put out “The Storm”], I felt that everybody who was with him at that point doesn’t like my music anyway. I get the comparison with the non-political-correctness, but other than that, we’re polar opposites. He made these people feel like he was really going to do something for them. It’s just so fucking disgusting how divisive his language is, the rhetoric, the Charlottesville shit, just watching it going, “I can’t believe he’s saying this.” When he was talking about John McCain, I thought he was done. You’re fucking with military veterans, you’re talking about a military war hero who was captured and tortured. It just didn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. And that’s some scary shit to me.
And remember, back in his early days he made music about brutally killing his mom, ex wife and gay people… and even he finds what Trump says completely and totally repugnant.
