1. She has a whole lot more class than Orange Foolius.

2. Wow. A leader who cares about other people in distress, even if they're not her own people.

And even when her own people are still in distress.

I believe it's called....um....something that begins with an E.

How refreshing.

21. Did anyone see Trump speaking about the massacre in Vegas? He was solemn and said the right things.

I am holding my nose as I say this, but as he spoke about the Vegas massacre, he actually seemed presidential.

But here's the thing: He didn't do this at all over the disaster in Puerto Rico. We did not see a solemn president, standing at a podium, instilling confidence in us that FEMA and military disaster teams were on the way. We did not see anything but a bunch of tweets and some bullshit about how PR is an island....surrounded by water....bit water!

I'm going to have to go with Che here, on SNL, when he said that anyone with skin darker than Trump's golf pants doesn't matter to him.
