Did they finish the count?

... oh, sure, they have to, but Trumpty Dumpty doesn't. Why does this Vulgar Talking Yam (h/t Charlie Pierce) get away with this?

... that seems to be the prevailing sentiment around the globe - my life partner is German and shares with me Der Spiegel, Stern, etc. articles and they can't figure it out either. It's so bad, we're considering cancelling our annual trip to NYC for the German-American Steuben Parade. Heartbreaking - we've gone for years.

... perhaps at the Old Post Office, granting an audience, at taxpayer expense, taking the Oath Of Office while giving out Ambassador Discount coupons if they stay at his over-priced ho'tel? Sounds positively Trumpian to me...

"it breaks with a tradition of constant press availability by all modern presidents."

Yet another indicator that Trump really wants to be President in the 1800s -- you know, back when it was "great" for Blacks, Mexicans, and women...

I remember that. With those newfangled things called radio and cellphones, you'd think the Secret Service out with him had communications with their colleagues in the White House, but apparently not.

I kinda hate her more than Doucheborough or Halperin----cause she pretends to be legit. In fact, I'm still confused as to how she even got her own show, she sucks and doesn't do anything. Plus she has that "former cheerleader who still thinks she's adorably 22 years old and how doesn't everyone see that?" demeanor I utterly despise

I can't watch Ruhle. Watching her is just mainlining rage for me most mornings. That's no way to start my day.

I know what you mean.

... and since he doesn't know where he is (on a good day), this will probably work out really well for everybody.

Cute video of the dik-dik. If you send someone a photo of them, does that count as a dik-dik pic-pic?

Oh also: Steph and her homegirl, Nina were insisting "Dems need to pick their battles wisely" for why we SHOULDN'T be upset/objecting to a fucking Nazi being steps away from the Oval Office.

Uhhh....dumbasses, they've already specifically stated they WILL work with him on stuff they agree on (more than we ever got from the Puggies, BTW), but they won't on shit they don't. That is the literally definition of "picking your battles".

I'm not a POC, but I would say the first step would be asking an organization like a local BLM or NAACP chapter what you can do.

needs may vary across the country, so it's nice to go to a national page, but you need to get in touch with the local chapters.

I don't know for sure. All I saw after a quick Google search said he was re-elected and didn't mention the count. I hope I'm wrong.
