The President only has as much power as Congress gives him. Obama couldn’t do whatever he wanted because the Tea Party took over in 2010 and did everything in their power to halt any kind of executive action. So many laws could have been passed, but weren’t because the Tea Party said no.

Once I was sitting in an airport bar waiting for my flight and a German couple was sitting next to me. At one point, the lady sneezed and I said “bless you” instead of “gesundheit.” This happened a decade ago and I still think about it at least once a week.

Seriously. We have the numbers, we just need them to vote. Including driving poor people to the polls. I live in CA and we always go blue, but i’m wondering if there will be volunteer situations in other states to assist in getting people who want to vote to the polls. And of course, in these red states. I know there…

I wish we would shut the fuck up about white working class voters. They’re a lost cause and hell bent on voting against their own self-interest. We’ve had two Democratic Presidents when two consecutive terms without them, yet we’re obsessed with courting those five living Reagan Democrats. Those people will never vote…

I used to be embarassed to tell people that I am still a devoted watcher of The Challenge, but once I emerged from the shadows, I discovered there are many of us from all walks of life. This show is a true gift. 

For the last time, don’t eat your placenta

As always, my late entry will most likely go unnoticed. BUT...

I’ve been running a Pinterest long con for going on ten years now. I created a fake post on a fake blog where I claimed that you could use Country Time Lemonade powder like Sun-In to get beachy highlights and then posted it on Pinterest. Every couple of years, someone re-pins it and I have myself a little chuckle.

Is telling your abusive husband that you're going on a two week trip to visit your parents and celebrate your pregnancy but then never coming back considered a prank? Because it felt like I was pranking him and it was definitely some of my best work.

Let me just say that I’ve been reading cards for people for decades.

This article took me on a pretty wild ride. I’ve been a pretty committed Caroline snarker over the past 4-6 months - checking in on the weird subreddit they have for her and participating in multiple Caroline themed group chats with IRL friend - but I have to say I’m nope-ing the fuck out after this article. I went in…

I want to declare my vote for the complete text of the email you will inevitably receive from Cutrone as the update to this piece. It’s going to be Epic.

🎵 WHY DONT THEY JUST LET HIM LIVE

Well, anyone who’s ever spent time in Philly knows the horror of the bathrooms at Dirty Frank’s. After banging in both of those, I decided to top myself by banging a guy in the alley out back. (Mind you, these bangings were spread out over several years, obviously I’m a very classy gal). But I don’t think it gets much…

On top of my ex? He hated showering so only did it once or twice a month. He liked it when I would lightly scratch his back (not as part of sex, just as a relaxing thing) and I would end up with gunk under my nails afterward. My explanation is I was... going through a lot.

The white woman who had a racist meltdown over the parking space (🙄) wasn’t actually a member, she was the guest of a member.

If you’re vaping, I wouldn’t say you’ve quit smoking . . . 

It’s possible. Unfortunately, the lack of focus on this detail leads to nothing but speculation. None of the source reporting linked to this article was enlightening. It’s a pretty big thing to overlook.

I would also think that they could use the presence/amount of amniotic fluid in the lungs to determine if the baby…

He’s your fucking daddy, troll.  That’s who the fuck he is, got it?
