On Facebook, I wouldn’t talk about her looks. But in this anonymous forum? Let’s go low... real low.

The unspoken (or... sometimes spoken) implication is of course that you SHOULDN’T have feelings and opinions apart from those concerning little Johnny and his diapers (and your husband’s needs, of course). The whole thing seems exhausting.

The potential alcoholism aside (and that IS a major concern), it also feels like “Love of Wine” has sort of almost... come to be a stand-in for an actual personality. No need to actually be funny or engaging or interesting or whatever... just drink wine!

Well, if you take this line of thinking far enough, reporting on ANYTHING any member of the government could potentially “tip someone off” so... maybe we shouldn’t have a free press that is permitted to report on the activities of elected officials... hmmm...

I’d be surprised if he could even make the jump to “she is one of the good ones.” I wouldn’t be shocked if he just figured that she was “just doing her job like any officer,” never stopping to think that his policies - if permitted to become law - would actively seek to hurt people like the woman who literally saved…

If being a “person” means supporting Trump, then I’ll glad and proudly be a not-person, thank you very much.

That actually sort of is the tradition. Michelle Obama wore something similar when she and President Obama met Pope Benedict in Rome. But, of course, the Obamas have grace and class and everyone looks genuinely happy to be meeting each other, so it’s not as creepy and off-putting as the Trump entourage.

I wish I could go back in time to 18-year-old ME and scream/slap/shake some sense into myself lol

There is a sign up process for PSLF (and in fact, they moved my loans to a different Fed Loan servicer after I signed up). And, every year you have to rectify your employment at a qualifying employer and on the servicer website, there is even a place to go to track your payments over time (counting up to 120), so it’s…

Me too. Combined with potentially taking away/rejiggering-for-the-worse the current income based repayment plans, this will fuck over SO many people. My plan if this happens and student loan repayment becomes unaffordable? Well... I already have credit cards and I’m about to get a mortgage so... maybe I pay them what…

Hurting people is the aim. And, it’s what they do best.

Agreed.

That was also the moment for me. I wasn’t sure she’d lose at that moment, but I seriously started to worry.

Something, something, something can take direction?

I was, embarrassingly, pretty obsessed with their TV show when it was on a few years ago (weird especially because 1. I usually don’t watch reality TV 2. I don’t usually care about the lives of celebrities 3. Don’t actually find Tori Spelling to be a compelling actor and I never even watched ‘90210') and your…

That was my experience, too. I ended up owing quite a lot to the IRS (“a lot” by my standards, not Tori and Dean standards, of course) a few years ago and the IRS worked with me on a payment plan. I ended up being able to pay off what I owed way faster than I thought I’d be able to, but all the same, if I would have…

LOL! Well said!

I believe it’s possible he’s realizing that he’s been bamboozled by Putin and that he was ridiculously led to believe he could lie down with that particular dog and not come away with fleas. Perhaps this has been a wake-up call to him?

Yes. Keeping Syrian babies out of the country was a major campaign point. All of a sudden he gives a shit about them? Please.

Me too. I can’t nap unless I’m sick. And when I DO manage to nap, I wake up feeling worse than I did before the nap. I never understood the appeal.
