    I’m praying for you, HamNo.

    On a personal note, I was furious to see the Yale College Republicans endorse Trump (and give Harvard reason to shit on us for years). But then I remembered there are like 12 and a half Republicans on Yale Campus and I felt a little better.

    Either way, I don’t think anybody should care. Except the scary thought that a few of those little shits are gonna be President/Supreme Court Justices some day.

    Do we think Gawker will survive this auction or will they just tear the various sites apart for scrap? I am worried. I’ve been waiting on an animal rights article so I could make a joke along the lines of “This is why our country’s laws should be based on the Code of Harambe” but now I’m just gonna waste it here. WASTE IT! Not that funny anyhow. I am rambling. I ramble when nervous. I have no desire to see how much my productivity at work will go up if Gawker gets shuttered...

      That’s probably the most pressing concern of all really, is what will happen to Gawkers comment section? So many great things have happened here.

      Honestly, I’d probably subscribe to the CatDogBlog, but you’re going to have to create it first.

    What’s telling about that whole ordeal is even at one of the most elite universities in the entire world, young conservative fuckheads are STILL completely blind as to how the Southern Strategy works and what their values are really all about.

    News Flash: You don’t get your ‘fiscal conservatism’ without all the other regressive shit too! Stop dodging this!

    “Not only are these people college students, which means they don’t know anything, they are by definition the biggest pricks on their respective campuses” —> as spoken by a soon-to-be-freelancing mid 20s blogger, which means he doesn’t know anything, and works in online media while living in Williamsburg which means by definition he is one of the biggest pricks in the fucking known universe. The duck phone is ringing off the hook in your glass house....

      And even when they want to, suppressive “residency” rules do their best to keep them out of the booth.

    I’m constantly in awe of College Republicans. When I went to my University, also located in Boston, they were a well-oiled machine; active, vocal, and well-known. They were there when I first toured the school as a prospect, most of the tour guides, in fact, were College Republicans. They had friends, organized well-populated events with well known conservatives including one speech I saw with Pat Buchanan, and were generally a good example of a politically-minded youth - especially when you compared them to the College Democrats, which were much higher in number of members, but also much more disorganized (turns out, most College Democrats would rather spend their time getting drunk and baked and fucking as opposed to building their future in politics) and never held a single event while I was there.

    And yet - the Republicans still complained about the ‘lack of representation’ and the ‘liberal bias’ that was so bad, the College Republican leader ran our newspaper. Even when were literally running shit, they were still bitching about the liberals.

      Maybe because it was Boston, so they tried harder?

      When I was in the Young Democrats in Texas, we were *super* organized. We had phone banks, were constantly knocking on doors and organizing events.
      The Young Republicans met, maybe, once a month. I think the most they did was showing up for our campus debates; which wasn’t even our whole day.
      But they were in deep red country, so they knew they didn’t have to try as hard.

      Maybe it was like that, but the inverse in deep blue Boston?

      Oh that’s interesting, I never considered that. I grew up in the north/mid-Atlantic region, and it seems all the CRs I encountered were like this, but it never occurred to me that their well-oiled machine might have to do with being conservative in a really liberal area.

    Should we care what a bunch of 20-year-old college Republicans, who are some of the world’s most insufferable pricks, think or do?

    Depends greatly on how seriously you take Vineyard Vines/Lilly Pulitzer clothing.

    Most esteemed Yale Board of Ivory Tower Schmucks With Sticks Up Their Butts Who Decide Whether Students Should Be Expelled,

    I present Exhibit A in my argument for expulsion based on clear evidence that the accused students must have either lied about their test scores or are not living according to the Stuck Up Douchebag Code That All Yale Students Must Adhere To That Includes Some Language About Honesty and Integrity.

    It is of course, self-evident that in order to endorse Mr. Trump it is a given that you are either stupid or disingenuous. I mean, no one who is actually smart is endorsing Trump because they actually think he would be a better President, right?

    Right?

      Last semester, as our group gathered to watch a Republican presidential debate while eating fried chicken, each individual had his or her own preferred candidate.

      These fucks are at Yale? They need to learn how to write.
