Abigail Disney on Trump: If you talk to his admirers, what they love about him is precisely everything about him that’s assholeish. He speaks his mind. Translation, he says horrible, cruel things that are racist and he denigrates everything that you and I value about this country,

“Mr. Speaker, I move to table the amendment that would allow 1st cousins to marry.”

So Tennessee is "fixing marriage" (let's not go there). One of the representatives introduced an amendment protecting cousin marriage, because... (totally a drumroll)

His grandparents were first cousins and moved to TN to get married because it was illegal in OH.

The, "I'm inbred and look at me" argument has entered the chat.

The guy can't run a website, the guy can't stop committing tax fraud - Republicans: let's make him president.

...but I'm the crazy one because I don't believe women, minorities, and LGBTQ are somehow "inferior", like I'm entitled to rule over them?
