"Many of them will be out there tomorrow finding fault with how the government is responding to this disaster. Most of them will pretend to be outraged about the efforts being made to rescue people from floods and take care of those displaced. None of them will step up to admitting their role."

If you have a pet, and you live anywhere near Springfield, OH, please make sure that they are inside and safe.

I'm not worried about immigrants. I'm worried about Trump supporters.

Barack Obama has so more pure gravitas, it’s a wonder the Solar System doesn’t orbit around him. Sixteen years later, his delivery has only improved.

It's clear from Trump's rally speeches that he has become increasingly incoherent and scattered. But what Republicans saw on Thursday should have scared them silly. Well ... sillier. This is a guy who can't even hold it together for a ten minute talk.

Many of the "institutes" and "think tanks" publishing papers denying climate change were just a couple of (quite nice, actually) women in an office on the sixth floor of Peabody Energy, the world's largest coal company. They make all those "CO2 is good for plants" products, too.

The term "Xmas" or "X-mas" goes back at least to the 1500s and was based on the Greek letter chi being the start of "Χριστός" (Christ). It was used in church writings for centuries and is NOT a modern attempt to "take Christ out of Christmas." Merry Xmas.

It really does feel like this decision should be easy. I'm having trouble understanding why it's a good idea to sign up with another juvenile dude bro who can change the rules depending on what he ate for lunch.
