WHAT is on his head in this picture? Is this a real photo? The raccoon looks like a squirrel here.

So now Peter Thiel is just being a dick? Trolling for ā€˜stories’ that stoke his outrage against Gawker? I can think of many charities that need your money MORE Thiel.

Harder took ā€œno issue with the central thesis of the piece—that Mr. Ivari has worked on Donald Trump’s hair.ā€ Ivari is a taxidermist?

Had I known things were going to work out like this, I would’ve studied to become a political cartoonist. sigh…

Imagine Trump’s Department of Homeland Security going after anyone who denigrates his features. This is not snark. Thankfully, he’ll never be in that position.

Probably.

We’ll never see this much of his hatless head again, but I think there’s some baldness going on. Definitely thinning.

@benthere You meant his hair, right?

@wwss The butler did it.

I guess the headline ā€œDonald Trump Has A Small Penisā€ would result in surgical drone strikes on the publisher if Trump is elected.

The letter, which Harder reportedly asked not be made public

Nice FU to Harder/Thiel.

Getting a little tired of the sensitive billionaire routine.

Probably wise just to try and make friends with that ā€˜thing’ on his head and back away slowly.

It was obviously SLAPP before, with Hulk and the inventor of email guy, but now it’s absolutely crystal fucking clear that these are nuisance lawsuits designed to bleed Gawker dry.

Gawker proper is garbage, but io9, gizmodo and lifehacker are occasionally worthwhile.

Trump’s weave was sleeping with Hulk Hogan?!?!?!?!?

Weave or no weave, nothing can explain that color.

Everything else aside, here’s hoping that the letter brings a little Streisand effect to the ā€œmicrocylinder intervention." It’s a lovely phrase, and one I’m sure can be applied to any number of Trump’s anatomical areas.

Just because it’s fun to point and laugh at bigots and bullies, doesn’t mean it can’t be an effective political strategy.

Surprise, surprise. Peter Thiel is a thin skinned tRump supporter. Whoda thunk it.

Thin-skinned, gay Trump supporter who launched his career by gay-baiting.
Isn’t his middle name Omar?

Damn, I wish I was super-rich because I’d put a blank check on the general counsel’s desk and tell them to fight this one. If people can’t write about Trump’s hair the plutocrats have won already. And you know that thing’s a weave and the office is on Trump’s floor and has no public entrance, I mean, come on.

That’s not the only reason I’d like to be rich, by the way. But it’s one.

Gawker should just do a chapter 7 bankruptcy. The employees could then just move a new website called Mawker.com and just continue what they have been doing under a new name. That is what Trump would do.

Which one - he looks like he colors it at home. Orange one day, blonde the next … as natural as his skin tone.
