  • Some lessons I learned from Trump’s first term that so many people apparently did not:

    • He’s not gonna learn his lesson
    • Republicans are not going to swoop in and save us from what other Republicans are doing
    • His supporters are fine with what he’s doing, and if they aren’t they’ll be fine with it after conservative media tells them to be fine with it
    • He will not face consequences for what he’s doing

    I would love to be proven wrong, but keeping these things in mind helps me to avoid unnecessary disappointment.

But be warned, he will only ever argue in bad faith, has unmatched endurance when it comes to moving goalposts, and if he senses an impending defeat he will simply rattle off a haphazard list of logical fallacies before declaring himself the victor and storming off. Also he will only accept challenges from those who have yet to earn a high school diploma.”







  • Ignoring how coo coo bananas it is that she even sang to ghosts in the first place, it seems weirdly self important to think your singing is capable of magically curing people’s trauma.
