Again: everybody knows this isn't true. It's not a truth claim. It's an expression of genocidal animus. The obvious falsity of the assertion expresses the degree of hatred. Publicly acceding to such patent nonsense signals one's membership of the club, one's willingness to assent to mass murder.

Trump: "We have 5 states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy 3 or 4 days later. It's true. And teachers make a decision. 'Goodbye Timmy I love you so much, I'll see you later.' And you say, 'Where's my son? My son is in the hospital.' Can you imagine?"

Back in my drinking days a doctor did bloodwork, saw I had elevated liver enzymes, and said anything more than 2 drinks a day was unhealthy. Being good at math, I figured I'd be OK having 14 beers on Friday or Saturday. For a few weeks, I stopped at that. Then I was like, "I'm a big guy so..."

Let’s try something more spicy: how many beers is a lot of beer?

If you're not familiar with the alcohol consumption by decile chart, it's a real eye opening look at what being a hardcore alcoholic is like

Last time I told people on here how much craft beer I drank when I was an alcoholic with an expense account, people reacted with disgust.

I worked as a barista at a coffeeshop in Lincoln Park. The owner refilled the fancy chocolate in the pumps with Hershey's, and when we served a customer an iced tea and they didn't squeeze the lemon slice, he said, "You can take that and use it on someone else's iced tea."

What’s astounding to me is how “the president builds himself a palace with money given directly to him in secret by the richest people in America,” literally the most straightforward and worst executive-branch corruption story in US history, just gets shrugged at because Trump is unapologetic

Q: You said you're gonna put some of your own money into the ballroom. Are you? TRUMP: I may do that. When they run out, I'll be there, okay?

An attempted attack on a Hindu temple came amid a weeks-long right-wing frenzy over "The Indian Question"; police found a manifesto from the alleged shooter "containing statements expressing white supremacist and extremist ideologies."
