Politics is how you think about life itself.

Gene Weingarten

The odd thing is that Trump’s hand movements don’t seem to coordinate with the topic at hand. Most pols manage to make their hand movements correspond with the message, so a slash will accompany emphasis, etc.

Donald Trump is way worse than George W. Bush. George W. Bush is a fundamentally decent man of limited intelligence who surrounded himself with awful people who dragged him in terrible directions. He was a bad president.

I was possessing heroin in fairly large quantities in New York City during the years of the draconian Rockefeller Drug Laws. Had I been busted, I would have faced mandatory life in prison. I don’t think many white kids walked, either. I knew one who got 15 years for pot.

Awful Loser Trump
On Twitter, people like me regularly get called “sore losers” by Trumpeters. It just makes me roll my eyes. This is not about winning and losing. We all lost, even them, they just don’t know it yet.

I think Marco Rubio could never have recovered from revealing himself to be pathetic.

My preference would have been a school that was totally diverse – half and half, or close. I wouldn’t have hesitated at all if they would have been in the racial minority. But to be the only white kids: I don’t think that would have been fair to them.

One thing I am learning from the kitten is that everything he is doing seems to be in preparation for murder.

Kitten Murder Preparation
You know, I am not a particular Kennedy apologist or an awed fan – I was 12 when he was murdered – but I have discussed Kennedy with historians. For his incredibly short tenure, he was a very important president.
