I was talking with Kathy last night, and she wanted to be sure I had seen the Saturday Night Live clip that had the president-elect so distressed. So we watched it together. And it got me thinking.
More below.

This is the first time in the history of this country that we will have a president who IS himself a TR0LL. Always before (well, not so much in the case of Dubya), it has been men with at least a modicum of dignity. Of self-control. Of respect for others. This time not.
And for a refresher on just what an abysmal tr0ll he is, I turned to the archive of his (miserable fucking) tweets.
They’re pretty bad.
After his reaction to Alec Baldwin’s fine SNL skit, Kathy said to me:
He has too much time on his tiny little hands!
I replied that Alec Baldwin was doing some very important work. And that’s when it hit me.
Our greatest hope for the next four years.
Right! It’s Alec Baldwin!
I told her …
Republicans hoped to occupy all over Obama's time and attention with endless attempts to repeal Obamacare. Democrats can do the same with Baldwin.
One downside of being a troll is vulnerability to being trolled!
I don’t think anyone now is doing it as well as Baldwin is. By himself he is fully capable of driving the man batty (okay, battier than he already is). Democrats can focus on all the important things, let the p-elect decompose under a withering barrage of Baldwin ridicule and mockery.
He doesn’t have the character to withstand it. We all know it.
On to tonight’s comments! Formatted by brillig!

Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.

From Canadian Reader:
Maybe there's a better one out there, I don't know, but I don't have Facebook or twitter, and this is the best video I've found as proof of the atrocity that happened last night. Please do your bit to give it some prominence by featuring BOHICA's comment among the top comments.
From John M Webb:
From hackeynut’s Tulsi Gabbard piece on the Wreck List, Got a Grip has
an existential meta comment about the type of thing that keeps me coming back.
From The Marti:
This comment by new10 is a spot-on statement of why no one should leave the country because of Herr Drumpf and his acolytes. It can be found in this diary by Walter Einenkel.
From Angela Marx:
In my story about the abject failure of the Media in our recent Presidential election, leftfielder hits a homerun with this comment on what they deem Newsworthy.
Highlighted by doinaheckuvanutjob:
Is this comment by Tamar, on the possibility of Tulsi Gabbard joining a Trump administration (from hackeynut’s diary on that).
