Now that's the kind of do-it-yourself, up-by-your-bootstraps kind of can-do spirit I like: get someone else to give you want you need for free, and call other people takers!

Pretty much what I say in response to almost everyone's Grindr profile.

I think we can sit back and let Trump do it. I need a Kickstarter to get those StormTrumper armbands made - I have no doubt they'd happily wear them to their rallys.

To be fair, after years of distancing herself from Obama as a general election strategy, Clinton has completely changed her tune and is now running as a third term for the president. The success of Bernie Sanders and the need for black votes was the sole reason for her cynical and smart ploy, so the NYT is just being honest.

Why the Times reserves this brutal, somewhat rude honesty for Clinton while going out of its way to be neutral towards others - to the point of distorting reality, on occasion, as with their refusal to call Bush's torture program torture - is because they hate her, for some reason. And they often skip all that and just write bullshit about her, just not in this case.

The good news is that the Clinton campaign's cynical primaries plan is what Hillary should be doing for general election, so expediency should be beneficial in November.

I recently found out that my poor, pain-killer-addled, 60-year-old brain processes information like an upside down funnel. It might take me until the 2020 election to process that math.

You could throw that guy under a Smart Car and it would crush him.

Edited because verbs are my friend.

A classy red-with-white-circle number with garish filigree and some kind of right-angled black symbol on it.

That would look lovely on their brown shirts, especially if they were burning something. Books, maybe?
