I add sites I want to support as exceptions, that’s the tension. I don’t want to have to add BoingBoing back to the block list.

And as Stern implies, people who wear trucker hats and T-shirts aren’t exactly common in the social circles Trump feels comfortable in. Whenever possible he surrounds himself with other rich white guys wearing suits. Trump himself is almost never photographed any other way except for those occasions that some reporter snaps a picture of him on a golf course. No Dubya-esque photos of Trump clearing brush on his private ranch or rolling up his sleeves to enjoy some barbecue. No Obama-esque photos of family vacations at the beach or exchanging heartfelt hugs with working-class volunteers. The idea of voluntarily spending quality time with a person who works an hourly job and doesn’t own a business suit is something that wouldn’t even occur to the likes of Trump.

Glad to see Stern finally speaking his mind a bit more instead of just pandering. He did a spectacular interview with Hillary Clinton recently:
If only that interview had happened before the election…

I’m capable of hating both Trump and the army of miscreants, morons and deplorables who voted for him. That’s the kind of response the invite.

Trump is a mangy, old house cat at best.
More of a rabid rat living in the attic if you ask me.

I thought maybe the black mold in the basement. Toxic, destroys everything it touches and expensive to fix.

Yeah. I may have been a little unfair to rats. Trump is more like the rabies.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
I recall John Cleese once said something similar. My badly remembered version of what he said was “a British person would far rather be described as bad in bed than bad at humour.”
Edit:
‘‘An Englishman would far rather be told he is a bad lover than that he has no sense of humor.’’

Boing Boing is the reason I installed an ad blocker. It was just too much.

There’s a whole digression to be had about that stupid ranch.
Dubya never owned a ranch except when he was president. The whole point of the ranch was it was supposed to be a place he could go every August for Reaganesque photo-ops sitting on a horse—except Dubya didn’t like horses and he wouldn’t do that last part.
It’s a great example of what a figurehead Dubya was. He drew the line at getting on the horse, but he went along with the rest of it—the ranch he didn’t need or want, the yearly vacations at a place he had no reason to own or to go, the “clearing brush”—because his handlers told him it was part of the plan.
