Facebook memories reminded me of this piece of brilliance from the first presidential debate two years ago.

I thought we'd take a moment to look back on it
Donald Trump, the now-president of the United States wrote:And I think Secretary Clinton and myself would agree very much, when you look at what ISIS is doing with the internet, they're beating us at our own game. ISIS. So we have to get very, very tough on cyber and cyber warfare. It is a, it is a huge problem. I have a son.
He's 10 years old. He has computers. He is so good with these computers, it's unbelievable. The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. And maybe it's hardly do-able. But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing, but that's true throughout our whole governmental society. We have so many things that we have to do better, Lester, and certainly cyber is one of them.

Can you imagine if Hillary Clinton had just mocked him when he said shit like this?

"Oh really Donald? Cyber is tough huh? Tell us a little more about how cyber is tough. Expand on what you mean please, I think the American people really would like to know."

Nobody challenged him because they never took him seriously. I hope nobody makes that mistake again should he run in 2020. Ridicule him, he's a moron.
I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd.

This is a crazy article.
Chris Christie was sitting on a sofa beside Trump when Pennsylvania was finally called. It was 1.35am, but that wasn’t the only reason the feeling in the room was odd. Mike Pence went to kiss his wife, Karen, and she turned away from him. “You got what you wanted, Mike,” she said. “Now leave me alone.” She wouldn’t so much as say hello to Trump. Trump himself just stared at the TV without saying anything, like a man with a pair of twos whose bluff has been called. His campaign hadn’t even bothered to prepare an acceptance speech. It was not hard to see why Trump hadn’t seen the point in preparing to take over the federal government: why study for a test you will never need to take? Why take the risk of discovering you might, at your very best, be a C student? This was the real part of becoming president of the US. And, Christie thought, it scared the crap out of the president-elect.

Watching the stream of the pre-gavel committee room right now. It's in these quiet moments awaiting the committee's arrival that really whets my political appetite. Aides and reporters nervously scrolling through their phones, hushed whispers, cameramen jockeying for position, YouTube Live hits spiking quickly as we get closer and closer to the start time...

What a way to spend a day off of work.

Kanye’s gone full Trumptard. I’m sure Trump would welcome slavery back with open arms. I don’t think Kanye understands exactly WHO would be the slaves, tho.

Trying to be charitable here, but what with the comment regarding prisoners, it sounds like he wants to eliminate the carve-out in the 13th that allows indentured servitude for prisoners.
