A 10-year-old who’d only ever played soldier in the backyard could have given a better answer.

There was a time when I felt that way, but not anymore. I feel absolutely certain he will never be held accountable for his crimes so I look forward to hearing the news of his death and know that I will get drunker that night than I've ever been in my life.

I'd bet $$$ on this scenario, although Himes doesn't make it quite clear in this clip that the entire Middle East will be a mess after Israel has bombed as much as it can into rubble.

I prefer to think that Trump paid Lewandowski to whisper it to her in the middle of sex.

Honestly, it does have that "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic" feel to it.

Seems like you're thinking the answer should be no, but really, with this White House? I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

My grandfather was a mailman, way back when they used to call them "letter carriers." He knew everyone on his route & they knew him. I even have a book that a woman on his route published--she inscribed a note to him, thanking him for all the publishers' letters & contracts he had delivered to her.

The rest of the world looks directly at Trump and nods vigorously.

When people say things like that, my immediate thought is that they're too lazy or can't be bothered to really pay attention to what's going on in government. It's just such an obvious cop-out.

Polis is a Democrat. He's just a bad Democrat.

I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Admin about the war in Iran.

I was worried before, but I’m more worried now.

Has anyone checked to see if he’s working for ICE? He sounds like their kind of guy.

We just bombed a school. Not sure if it was Israel or the US that dropped that particular bomb, but it doesn’t really matter. The blood is on our hands.

Everyone I’ve talked to who’s ever had shingles says it’s the worst pain they ever experienced.

There’s always a point in making clear once again that Megyn Kelley is an unprincipled, sour, dumbasfuck yet ruthless hack.

The simple response is: If another country makes "strategic strikes" against the U.S.--especially if those strikes kill members of our leadership--would there be any doubt we'd consider it an act of war?
