    A populist message is very effective when it's coupled with xenophobia and FUD and Trump has all of that in spades. This is the one thing Trump has been consistent on during his Presidency. I don't think Warren will be able to out populist Trump.

    Hillary won the popular vote. The next Dem candidate has only to be marginally better in a few select States to win the presidency.

    Trump isn't exactly converting anyone to his side. But all signs indicate he's energizing the opposition against him.

    Was outside doing yard work over the weekend, so I was hot and pissed about some things. Hadn't said much to her earlier in the day.  She comes out to do some work in the flowerbed and says "What's wrong"?

    Me: Nothing

    Her: I know you are mad about something. What's wrong?

    Me: Nothing

    Her: Well, why aren't you talking to me? What's wrong?

    Me: Nothing

    Her: Then why aren't you talking.

    Me: I don't want to talk about it.

    Her: Okay. See that is all you had to say.

    I know if I had started off with "I don't want to talk about it", I would have still received the "What's wrong" question. 

    Now she knows how husbands/boyfriends feel.

    That's fucking amazing.

    New Yorker magazine going hard.

    Can't wait to see our wanna be beloved leader respond

    Will he really care?

    He got a magazine cover. He loves that. It gives him an enemy to attack and proclaim himself a victim. I'm pretty sure Trump believes there's no such thing as bad publicity. He's gotten bad publicity for decades. And yet here we are.

    Discussions of hell and the Old Testament get out of my range pretty quickly. Translations of the word “sheol” abound and I go get a beer...

    How many times did you find it translated as "Hell" or a place of fire, of eternal torture? In the King James Version it's translated as "the grave." A land of the dead isn't original to Judeo-Christisn mythology but as far as I can tell the concept of eternal torture for not subscribing to a particular theology is a Christian invention.

    It's a joke about the employability of liberal arts majors.

    Oh I know where he was coming from. It just doesn't fit in this story. It's a non sequitur. It could just as easily mean that liberal arts majors make such a lucrative living that they have time for trivial protests. His pet gripe doesn't apply here. He's got a hammer so is inclined to see a nail.
