Khan

When I was in school, and bullies were handing me my ass everyday, Mama Khan would say, "Kids pick on you, because they know they will get a response from you. If you would ignore them, they'd go away eventually." I wonder whether a similiar approach would work on Donald Trump. I'm not saying we should allow him, as President, to commit acts that would step on our civil rights or put our national security at risk. In those instances, yes, resist at all costs. However, if we weren't to react to each new and ridiculous statement Trump makes, either on Twitter or elsewhere, then maybe he would get tired of shouting into the void; and then he, like most bullies, would go away. Or at least stop tweeting every stupid thought that wanders into his brain. It's worth a try, no?

I thought so. Chris' death seems so random to me. Like, why would Carl kill Chris after all this time (other than to let viewers know he'd reverted to his former, evil ways)? Thanks, Carl!

That wouldn't surprise me. I've thought about this and I can come up with only one answer: the Clintons must know something the rest of America doesn't. That's why they're getting involved, and why they're getting involved at this point. But, good Lord, with so many shoe-drops we've had throughout this year and this election, it's amazing anyone still has their shoes ON. I would not put it past them either. Between all the deaths and the Election That Would Not Die, I feel like 2016 is out to destroy us all.

For the love of God. Why did Team Hillary need to get in on this ridiculous act?

Am I wrong, or didn't AW have Carl kill Dr. Chris Chapin offscreen?

It figures that TrumpCo. would balk. Mitt is an awful politician, but compared to them, he's JFK.

Black people don't call them "NoWay products" for nothing.

True. According to the NYT, that's the widest margin for a presidential candidate who still lost the electoral vote since 1876. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? I know it makes ME wonder.

Trump going back on all his campaign promises is, like, the best early Christmas present EVER. I REALLY love it.

Well, at least Florida isn't involved this time around.

I love it, lol. Just to be on the safe side, though, let's make sure the Clintons have enough security. After everything TrumpCo. has done to whip voters into a frenzy over HRC, I wouldn't be surprised to learn one (or several) of them has it in mind to track her down and lynch her. It sure is, lol!

Yep, lol. First, the media did everything they could to legitimize him for the sake of lousy ratings points. Next, they attempted (sort of) to contain the beast, denouncing his potential victory as The Worst of All Possible Things, but well past the point of being able to do so effectively (and thanks, in no small part, to the number they did on his rival, taking a woman who already had issues of likeability and compounding them with what will turn out to be, in the end, a big bunch of nothing). Then, they, along with every other pollster, pundit, and prognosticator out there, got showed up for the clowns we always knew they were when the s.o.b. actually won. And now, after all that, when they're telling the American public to give this man a chance (but remain on alert) when we know damn well that every inch we give him sets us further down the road toward global disaster, what do they get for their oh-so-obvious attempt at making nice with him in order to gain access to his administration? Namely, what they've deserved all along: the finger. His finger. I hope TrumpCo. freezes the media out entirely from everything they're up to, for as long as they are in the White House. I really do. I know I shouldn't say that, since it suggests restricting the freedom of the press. Nevertheless, I feel it's the least the media deserves for siccing this rabid dog on us. Exactly. Frankly, Jeff Zucker should be used to going through life feeling this way. His career is the textbook definition of "failing upwards."

And they wonder why I'm so pessimistic. It's clowns like those two that make me believe in climate change. I mean, anything that results in the world burning to a crisp and the human race becoming extinct.

Three words: Hot. Bubbling. Mess. I love it.

I won't argue with you there!

Um...Pence. I'm serious, people. I am not pulling for Trump to pull out. No damn way, no damn how.

If I haven't said this before: I want Trump to have the most f**king miserable time ever as President. I want him to be so wrecked by the experience -- and so consumed by his own bigotry, greed, narcissism and paranoia -- that it literally leaves him at the end a drooling, catatonic mess. It might not change anything as far as we are concerned, but (God forgive me) it's what the self-serving jackass deserves. Yeah, good luck, Teddy, getting Congress to approve you. From what I understand, hating Ted Cruz is one of the few issues on which Democrats and other Republicans actually see eye-to-eye. Again, though, that leaves Mike Pence. No matter what scenarios others offer as a means of eliminating Trump, I come back to the same conclusion: we're still stuck with Pence. Trump has just GOT to stay in there. To hell with the potential conflicts of interest.

Trophy wives do not have it easy.

Boy, Trump must hate the thought of leaving his precious tower and moving into the WH full-time...but, like it or not, he's gonna have to do it. I love it.

Actually, I take that back: it might not be Mike Pence riding the bomb. But Michael Flynn definitely would be Jack D. Ripper in that scenario.

It was Slim Pickens -- and no, that would be Miss Pence riding the bomb.

Have you seen the ending to "Dr. Strangelove"? I feel sorry for the people of NYC. They have enough issues with traffic.

I ask myself the same question, Julia. What IS it going to take to bring Trump down? He could, right now, kill someone in cold blood and brag about it later on Twitter, and his supporters would still say that that isn't as criminal as Hillary's deleting those e-mails or allowing those four men to die at Benghazi. Trump will never resign, because his ego will never allow it. He might do something impeachable, but I guarantee that any and all attempts to bring him to justice will be half-hearted and laughable. So, I have resigned myself to the fact that, like it or not, we're stuck with Trumpocracy and the horrors contained therein for the next four years. Eight, if he runs for and (God forbid) wins a second term. And even more than that, should his minions decide to repeal the Constitutional amendment limiting his term of office (which I am officially putting on the table and leaving there as a possibility until the day he is actually gone from the White House). Maybe his most ardent supporters will realize how hollow all his promises were and not give him those second eight years. Then again, there was a good argument to get rid of Dubya in '04, and everyone just mumbled "9/11" and "flip-flopper" and looked away. Regardless of how long Trump is in office, though, it is my belief that he will leave this country bankrupt in every sense of the word. A post-Trump America will be a lot like a post-WWII Germany...and there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about it. Well, anyways. 'Night, everyone! Pleasant dreams!

Even people who live here would rather live anywhere else.

But will we say the same after someone posts video of him at a matinee performance of "Kinky Boots"?
