Well I think he’s doing great.

State of the Union?

I’ll not watch the demented buffoon on any occasion. Not even if announcing his resignation. Just DO IT! Then fade away immediately.

I’ll add, this isn’t a presidential event, just more of the criminal imbecile holding up in the Oval Office.

A disgrace even to humanity.

Trump said our economy is "roaring." Really?

Workers just took home their smallest share of profits in recorded history.

CEOs are making 285 times what their workers make.

Dear Women’s USA Olympic Hockey Team — First, congratulations! Second: I drove race cars for 19 yrs & the amount of misogynistic crap I put up with in the garage was insane. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team has now shown you their true colors. Believe them. They’re not friends of your team or women in general. I’m so tired of this misogyny in sports & everywhere else in American life, to be honest. The patriarchy sucks. Grow the fuck up or hand the keys over to the ladies. Maybe it’s time we drive.

Leilani Munter, y'all.
