How do you primary a newspaper?
Get a newspaper backed by the Koch brothers, and run by a bunch of ignorant, tax hating, easily triggered assholes willing to throw their own kind under the bus to run against them.

That's just the New York Post though.
When the Daily News is the only competent newspaper in New York.
@CCC:
Just a friendly reminder to not watch the inauguration tomorrow, at least not on a cable network that monitors viewership. We want those numbers as low as possible for the greatest inevitable irony when Dear Leader tweets "Incredible ratings for my coronation! Haters besides themselves! Sad!"
…Because satisfying irony is the only pleasure left to us in this doomscape.
Pffft. I'm watching start to finish.
@Purple:
Honestly dude, if the only thing you say after posting about an article about some guy sexually harass a women is "well if you reverse the genders then he's right," it really is an absurd jump to state when the senator only said it in response to the new era that we're about to enter. To be frank, your statement doesn't evoke any sort of discussion on it and only serves to incite the response you received because, well, your statement basically just serves to play a false equivalence that irritates the normal person because it is in poor timing, poor taste, and poor presentation.
If you want to talk about the common sense of men not being believed in sexual assault cases, then I would advise you to think of the common sense of not starting a discussion on it with a quick remark about an article about a guy thinking it's okay to do that in Trump's America.
Fair enough. I have a lot of trouble with tact, and I can see how the comparison would come across as a completely cynical use of a tragic incident for political purposes.
I'll be at work, and I've already been avoiding the breakroom and its TV like it's a toxic waste dump since the election cycle really started getting nasty so I'm not going to be regaled by Trump's presidential bloviating. I can fantasize about it being like a wedding objection, only the objectee are federal agents placing him under arrest for treason.
Anyway, I'm going to turn in now; I suppose America had a good run.
I am officially going to the Boston Women's March. I was originally going to my family's New Years get-together, but since that went all screwy (don't ask), I've decided to go to the march instead. Luckily I have an old friend from college putting together a group. Looks like Boston is going to be the biggest march after DC. Cool!

Populism for dummies, what NOT to do.
Cool article, Max. Thanks!
Thank you, Max. I've shared this on Facebook and Twitter.
The flag was just raised at our base for morning colors. When the flag is lowered tonight at evening colors, Trump will actually be President…and While Perry & DeVos are in charge of our nuclear arsenal and education...
I feel mentally nauseous.
:sick: :sick:
I know some of you all recommend not to watch the inauguration but, hell, I can't help it.
I'm watching a youtube livestream so I don't think that adds to the viewer count or whatever anyway. Unfortunately, I won't be able to listen to Donald Trump's speech because I'll be doing a class at the time but of course I'll watch it later since there will be dozens of videos of the speech recorded.
Hillary Clinton and George W. Bush were just introduced. Surprisingly, I myself didn't hear any boos but that could just be my livestream not being close to the crowd.

Oh man, Hillary has to be at Trump's inauguration? That's brutal, like pouring salt on the wounds.
Everyone, remember to set your clocks back 300 years tonight.
@Rogues':

Might be so, but she's very dignified and gracious in doing what she's doing. She didn't throw a temper tantrum after the election either. I highly doubt Donald Trump could do the same if the roles were reversed. I don't think he could be so strong.
I'm just glad I'm working so I don't have to bother with the fucking "inauguration".
Here comes Michele Obama. As a first lady she tackled childhood obesity, fitness, women's rights, and education (particularly girl's education all around the world).
Ivanka Trump will tackle cyber bullying (a legit cause) alongside a cyber bully…
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Obama and Biden strolling out now. At any minute it feels like Obama could step up to the mic and yell, 'SIIKKE!!! Everyone go home the joke is over!'
Dutch commentators saying Obama was a mediocre president. This what I pay tax money for?
And here comes Trump and his perpetual scowl.

When is Geert Wilders declared King of All Dutchmen?
@Cyan:

March 15. .
They should've played the Imperial March when Trump was on his way to the stage.
President Trump almost has the nuclear codes.
Man, those are some small applauses.
@James:
Man, those are some small applauses.
People are no longer excited about him repeating the same shit over and over again.
Still doing the same campaign speech he's been using for the last 18 months.
Pffft. I'm watching start to finish.
I'm on painkillers at home after getting my wisdom teeth pulled and have nothing to do so I am watching as well
It's alright everyone it could be worse, nothing drastic has happened yet.
So the climate change and health care pages on the White House website were just scrubbed

Even more so when the guy pouring the salt is kicking you when you're down.
@White:

I'm assuming this would only apply to the people who don't typically vote republican though
voted for Trump "Because Hillary didn't earn my vote".
I bet A LOT of people regretted voting for Trump now.
Mr 37% gets an audience of 37%
Those executive orders coming up would be fun.I think Trump will succeed…in destroying America
This guy looks surprisingly upset for someone who will no longer be the worst president.

I think it's grumpiness from not having an umbrella…Why don't they have proper cover for this even? They know it's usually rainy this time of year.
Umbrella privileges are reserved for Emperor Show-Off.
Civil Rights, Climate Change, and Healthcare have all been scrubbed from the White House website.

Considering that his dad's in intensive care he probably had more than one reason for not wanting to be there.

I'm going to my local one here in AZ too….. The fact that it's really happening now has me.... really really scared....
So the climate change and health care pages on the White House website were just scrubbed
The most telling thing is that the Health Care site is gone but has a splash page in its place advising that a replacement will come…. the Climate Change site has been flat out removed.... and you get a "Page cannot be found" error...
And here come the riots..
Happy Inauguration Day everyone!
Happy Inauguration Day everyone!
It happened. Good luck world!
And CNBC was showing some of the "riots" happening in DC live. Just said towards the ned "It's looks worse on TV than it looks live, folks, DC is not up in flames" :D
Rioters not having much luck disrupting the parade….
