After 4 minutes 30 seconds on TPM, Iā€™m gone for the rest of the day. I donā€™t know how others are dealing with this descending nightmare, but Iā€™mā€“no snark hereā€“likely to spend very little time here as well as avoid most political news from now on. Like a mile wide asteroid coming from space, I canā€™t do a damn thing about it, it physically hurts to focus on it, and Iā€™d rather spend my too few days focusing on the things that are positive in my life.

Boy, you summed up exactly how I feel even better than I could. I feel like weā€™re all just sitting around waiting for Judgment Day to start and thereā€™s virtually nothing to do but just watch as the slowly unfolding Trainwreck that is surely to be the Trump Presidency happens. I definitely plan on doing what I can but mostly weā€™ll just have to hope that the Democrats in Congress (esp. Senate)stay strong and resilient enough to stand against the coming Republican ultimate madness.

WHY is TPM advertising to SHUT DOWN the Corrupt Clinton Foundation?? On the home page, upper leftā€¦Is it so important to monetize this site that the stakeholders have to insult us like this? Whatā€™s next? Paid advertising from the Alt-Right?

Can we also deport the white guys who killed a number of police officers over the past few weeks too? The imbalance of news coverage of white attacks on police officers and minorities vs. radical Muslim attacks is buttressing support for DTā€™s immigration aims.

It will be interesting the first time someone Trump disparages has to go to trial on criminal charges. The defendantā€™s lawyers would seemingly be able to make a good case the President of the United States had tainted and prejudiced the entire possible jury pool. What does the guy do, ask for a change of venue to New Zealand?

Why is TPM (and other media) using old pics of Trump at microphones for every story about a tweet he makes? Trump has not had a press conference in months, yet someone who comes to TPM and glances at the front page would think the man is in front of the press constantly.

This is exactly the kind of standard journalistic norms the press does that Trump has been able to benefit from his whole campaign. If Trump tweets something you shouldnā€™t be showing him in front of a microphone, youā€™re making him look like heā€™s acting presidential when heā€™s not. Once again even here on TPM you just canā€™t help but give him positive press coverage he wants even when you try to criticize him. Even after all that self-introspection after the election the press is still falling into the same traps.

"Trump later conceded that Mateen was indeed born in the United States, but insisted that the suspectā€™s ideas were ā€œborn from someplace else.ā€
Yo Orange dude every idea thought of here on American soil was born from someplace else. We are all immigrants, even first nation folks.

Where did I say ā€œignoreā€. Just want to argue on the internet huh?

Run the story but stop using old images to give off an impression heā€™s in front of the press when heā€™s not.

I suppose Dylan Roof should have been deportedā€¦somewhere, I donā€™t care whereā€¦too then. I mean, this guyā€™s radicalization and horrible acts, if inspired by ISIS, were essentially no different than what Roof did after being inspired and radicalized by the KKK and other white supremacist groups that support Trump.

The Donald spends much of the past year condemning Muslims, hate crimes against same skyrocket and when one does break and do something violent he get into a twitter rant about how the young man should not be here. His election has done the same to a large portion of the electorate and I am waiting to see when that segment of society begins to act out. I am now living ā€œinteresting timesā€ and am not too sure if I want to.

right on cue. If and when this happens when heā€™s POTUS, itā€™s going to be an excuse to bring on terrible things. I fear for Muslims in this countryā€¦I truly, and utterly fear for them. My father being one of them.
