Today's a great day for those with GOP Members of Congress to ask them when they plan to either (a) demand Trump's resignation for being deeply involved in a pedophilia ring; or (b) explain why they don't believe that being deeply involved in a pedophilia ring requires a president's resignation.

I think a lot about how most big-city newspapers used to have a a couple of movie critics, a theater critic, a few book critics, an architecture critic, a music critic or two, an in-house cartoonist, at least two or three foreign correspondents, a fashion writer, and a whole staff of photographers

I am a hypermasculine and extremely powerful alpha male. As such my greatest fears are seed oils, rainbows, people who don't look like me being on TV, and preventative medicine. I cannot explain any of these fears and consider that to be your fault.
