People speculating about Pelosi's nickname:

I can't predict what trump will address her at in his morning spew, but I guarantee he calls her some variation of 'oval office' in private. Maybe Cuntlosi.

Ritsuko Akagi: How’s it going? Are you getting along with him?
Misato Katsuragi: Him? Oh, Shinji. Well, it’s been two weeks since he started and he doesn’t seemed to have changed. No one ever calls him.
Ritsuko Akagi: Calls him where?
Misato Katsuragi: Well, since I figured he’d be needing one I gave him a cellular phone. I don’t think he’s ever used it though… or received any calls. I’m not sure but I don’t think he has any friends.
Ritsuko Akagi: Well I would guess that Shinji isn’t exactly the sort of person who makes friends easily.
Misato Katsuragi: Mmmhhmmm.
Ritsuko Akagi: Do you know the fable “The Hedgehog’s Dilemma?”
Misato Katsuragi: Hedgehog? You mean those animals with the spiny hair?
Ritsuko Akagi: Even though a hedgehog may want to become close with another hedgehog. The closer they get the more they injure each other with their spines.
Misato Katsuragi: Hmm.
Ritsuko Akagi: It’s the same with some humans. The reason he seems so withdrawn is because he’s afraid of being hurt.
Misato Katsuragi: Well, he’s… just… going to have to learn… someday…. That part of growing up means finding a way to interact with others while distancing pain.

Hi guys! I just heard the news! Any statement from McCain on how disturbing all this is?

For semiseriousposting I'll echo others when I say I'm sure that the Rs turning on Tormp with the tweet as the nominal reason are actually doing so because they wanted to for awhile but this now gives them a relatively consequence-free opportunity.

People have already said it the correct answer, but in our hearts we all know it's confirmation that the world will end with everyone turning into orange goop and being absorbed the the giant pale naked bloated corpse of Donald Trump.

Faulkner was truly great, and traditional hunting has its place, but I'm gonna go ahead and surmise that maybe it's not psychologically and developmentally optimal for 21st-century children in a post-industrial society to be killing animals and wearing their blood in an empty goddamn mimicry of a prehistoric pagan ritual.

Maybe that's just me. And I'm being serious when I say that. Maybe I'm the one who is not thinking broadly enough, and I accept that possibility.

Oh, I don't know either way. It just doesn't seem like a useful thing to focus on, because in that culture it's relatively normal, and it isn't obviously permanently harmful.

Which President prior to Trump would've been the most likely to fall into the Twitter Trap and constantly post inane and inflammatory comments?

At first I was going to say George W. Because I thought well he did have a tendency to just spout out nonsense. Then I thought wait, I highly doubt George W would even know how to use Twitter. So then I started thinking that if Twitter could be used by a president to cut through all the media and PR staff and talk directly to the people then that power doesn't necessarily have to be used for evil like we are seeing now. It's just that the unfortunate first real use of Twitter by a president is by Trump. And yes, Obama used Twitter but obviously it wasn't really Obama he was way too drat cautious to use it personally it was his staffers that were tweeting for him.

I could just see it now sometime in the future:
