I still can’t quite get my mind around the fact the guy who refuses to get his security clearance is basing his entire campaign around describing his main rival as “sneaky.”
I just hope irony didn’t suffer too much before the Conservatives made it die like that.

What do we think of Trump's threats to destroy our economy, invade us, and annihilate our sovereignty and cause mass death and an insurgency? Well, fellas, I'd have to say I'm against it.
What kind of stupid shit is this? Seriously. It's just trolling for traitorous Maple MAGAS.

Lots of thoughtful social media criticism of our question for Sunday's Checkup and we listened. The new question: what do you think of Trump's comments about Canada becoming the 51st state? The show's being simulcast on more than 100 NPR stations. It's a chance to make your voice heard.
