“First of all, what Hillary said made absolutely no sense because if you go back to what Kaepernick first said, he said, and I quote — I saw it on video — ‘this is to protest the injustices in America.’ First, there is no rampant injustice in America. We’ve come a long way. I grew […]

“Also spending money on roads instead of welfare is literally choosing rich white men over everyone else — they are the ones who drive.” — Caroline Criado-Perez “And the NRA put an appalling ad out there which really, basically made the statement that the NRA was now a white supremacist group.

“We are in a war with selfish, foolish & narcissistic rich people. Why is it a shock when things turn violent? #HuntRepublicanCongressmen” — James Devine “Does the unique American idea of federalism still work, with state rights and laws subordinate to federal law? We fought a Civil War that cost more than 600,000 lives in […]

But they’re losers.” — Donald Trump on the terrorists behind the Manchester bombing “When a man straps on a […]

“Jim Comey didn’t tell (Hillary Clinton) not to campaign in Wisconsin after the convention. Jim Comey didn’t say ‘don’t put any resources into Michigan until the final week of the campaign.” — David Axelrod “Someone was asking me for some story back in the campaign, ‘what’s the future of conservative media after this.

His own staff said this email that you’ve received, this is totally legitimate. So, this is something … a 14-year-old kid could have hacked Podesta that way.” — Julian Assange “I have […]

I would like to apologize to those tramps that have slept with my husband. Maybe she could have said that. — Joy Behar on the women Bill Clinton raped and sexually assaulted. If Trump were president, Republicans and conservatives would be forever tainted by every irresponsible, cruel, or stupid thing he said or did. Besides, […]

If the case for Trump now boils down to “well, he’ll be a bit better than Hillary Clinton would,” that’s a pitiful deterioration in the Trump mystique. And it leaves you with the question of why, say, Ted Cruz or John Kasich were less acceptable to Trump voters than Trump was. If all you want […]

All these people that say, “Oh, you can’t do that, and you can’t do this, and you can’t say that.” I guess it’s just the times. ….Just f*cking get over it. It’s a sad time in history. — Clint Eastwood You people (who support Trump) reflect the evil character of your god. You should be […]

Trump, to date, has shown little interest in traditional activities needed to win a general election, such as fundraising, infrastructure and party building. He seems to have no loyalty to the party beyond how it can serve his personal political interests. Therefore, party delegates are not obligated to be loyal to him. — Michael Graham […]

Our universities are now the most hostile place in the country to actual thought. — Ace Some of the coverage of Ben Rhodes is what happens when you put van drivers and campaign flaks and failed novelists in charge of foreign policy and national security. — Jason Hill Until gay men forge a new moral […]

Sarah Palin needs to have her hair shaved off to a buzz cut, get headf*cked by a big veiny, ashy, black d*ck then be locked in a cupboard. — Azealia Banks Let’s find the biggest burliest blackest negroes and let them run a train on (Sarah Palin) — Azealia Banks I am not being hyperbolic […]

I’ve become fatalistic about this. Yes, Trump would be a disaster for the party in most ways. Yes we should do all we can do to avoid that — and yes, that means if he’s one delegate short of the nomination, he should be denied it. Unless, by some miracle, polls show that he has […]

The most obvious explanations for the rise of Donald Trump is that nobody fought him. Nobody responded to him in kind. When Donald Trump made fun of Jeb Bush’s wife, Jeb Bush should have said how much he’d enjoy caving in the face of a degenerate casino owner. When Donald Trump said Rand Paul didn’t […]

If Rubio isn’t very appealing to us, maybe there’s a reason for that, and maybe, rather than assuming “Other people will love him,” we should assume something closer to “Other people will find the same defects in him that we do.” — Ace I have had more than one medical professional warn me that Donald […]

Trump’s decision to spend (mostly) his own money is a double-edged sword. Sounds good in a campaign pledge.

I think in terms of a commander in chief, we ought to have someone who isn’t springing out of bed to tweet in a frantic response to the latest polls. I think the American people is looking for a commander in chief who is stable and steady and a calm hand to keep this country […]

We could use a President who was, like, “OK. Everybody turn in all your guns tomorrow by 5 p.m. After that, if I catch you with a gun then I’m sending SEAL Team Six to your house with a recent Facebook picture of you and those tanks that shoot fire that we haven’t used since […]

Did Marco Rubio really say to a New Hampshire audience that no one who’s ever run for president understands immigration better than he does? I realize that pols need to try to make their weaknesses into strengths, but that’s like Obama saying no one understands foreign policy better than he does. He is more practiced […]

I’m tired of Muslims taking every new terrorist outrage as the chance to lecture America on the supremacy of their culture and the steps me must take to better accommodate this culture and show more “respect” for it. I do not expect them to accept blame that’s not theirs; but godd@mnit, I will not tolerate […]

In 2012, the University of Chicago asked 40 leading economists whether a gold standard would improve the lives of average Americans. All 40 said no. — Binyamin Appelbaum Years ago Marvin Olasky wrote how compassion traditionally meant to “suffer with.” Over the years it turned into writing a check. Now it means making other people […]

In 2010, 38,329 people died from drug overdoses, twice the number a decade earlier. More people died of drug overdoses than from automobile accidents (30,196), murders (13,000) or gun accidents (700). — Ann Coulter Contrary to the cliches, most drug dealers aren’t black: They’re Hispanic. In 2013, 48 percent of drug offenders in federal prison […]
