That is exactly why I am pro Trump. Cruz has a far greater chance of actually accomplishing the destruction of freedom in America. Currently Trump is the lesser evil in the Republican group. I will switch sides when the nominations are confirmed.

I wonât speculate which would be worse-- neither Trump nor Cruz must ever be allowed power-- but the terror of a Trump victory doesnât lie in what he might do as president. Itâd surely be bad, but the Brownian motion of his random policy impulses might well average out to not making much difference in the long run.
Like Humbabella sez, the true pant-soiling terror is that a meaningful chunk of the population could vote for him. Thereâs now a group of Americans who (a) recognise themselves as a political force and (b) openly embrace a far-right, racist, anti-intellectual politics. That force is still going to exist, even if it doesnât win a general election on its first try.
This is why I feel like there should be more focus on Trumpâs supporters. Not attacking them, but clearly pointing out the nastiness of what theyâre standing up for. Itâs like, if you support Trump now, but youâd have misgivings if police were actually rounding up brown people into camps, well, stop fucking supporting Trump then, because thereâs a direct connection here and you know it.

None of us will ever forget the day when the terrorists flew two hot dogs off the roller grill, into the twin towers of Slurpee cups.

Yâknow, thereâs another option besides Cruz in the election besides âpro Trumpâ. And it ainât Kasich. Just saying.

And butterfly nets. Donât forget the butterfly nets.
My mental image of this summerâs Republican convention has rows of riot police AND rows of men in white coats with butterfly nets.

I made a great pizza topped with goat cheese mozzarella, kalamata olives, caramelized onions, and kale tossed in olive oil and truffled salt.
Try and find that at 7-11!

Most definitely. In a way, the person Iâm most afraid of isnât Trump, or Cruz, but whoever inevitably inherits Trumpâs mantle, because theyâre going to be one step more batshit than either one, and most likely, far better organized.

This post was not my finest moment. Iâm going to leave it up to remind myself what a jerk I can be when I get upset. Sorry.

I genuinely appreciate your passion and intensity and red-eyed rage on the topic. I especially appreciated the point at which you became so enraged that you just yelled âFUCK BANANASâ, which Iâm going to reserve for my angriest moments from now on.

No problem. We all are horrified by it, just if we donât joke about it then we end up in the padded room or the drunk tank.
Hug?

Thatâs okay. We all get peeved about things.
But I truly find kale (and Trump) disgusting.

One note: yes, kale can be delicious. But not raw, for goodnessâ sake. Godawful bitter stuff.
Trim out the thick stems and toss it with some olive oil. Lay on cookie sheet, sprinkle with some salt, sesame seeds, garlic, and a little sugar. Roast until crisp but not burnt (a bit tricky). I could eat kale chips all day.
