I often skip Thanksgiving with the extended family. My kids and I do our on thing. We’ll cook turkey and sides on the days leading up to Thanksgiving weekend. Then we’ll sometimes go camping and bring the food with us (turkey sammies!) or just have a little fun “vacation” at home. Its such a nice way to chill. Esp.…

I didn’t know he was in the movie and it was such a needlescratch when his bloated face appeared on screen. First thought was “him....?”. Second thought, “ugh, that POS!”.

Agree. My nephew was going on about how in his first election he gets to vote for Kanye. Panic filled me. Like, I can not even deal with the joke right now. We need qualified people who will take the job seriously. Why is it that Beyonce or Kanye for Pres is even a conversation?!!!

To second HellishHarlot, I also started a club in HS but never joined NHS. It was a fun way to spend time with likeminded friends, we learned new skills, including better organizational skills, and it was quite empowering. Plus, it looked amazing on college apps. Your son would probably need to have a teacher…

Trump can obviously be manipulated quite easily. I’d love to think that one of some patriotic, democracy loving career politician could gain his trust and become the new puppet-master.

I’m giving the benefit of the doubt to the few people on his consideration list who don’t have completely wretched records. Maybe they feel like they can do a good job under difficult circumstances and limit the serious harm that this admin will otherwise cause.

I do think most (not all) white people bothering to wear safety pins and march will confront racists. Others might be less inclined because they fear confrontation. What these people need realize is that their fear of dealing with an uncomfortable conversation is not much when compared to the risk of cruel and violent…

Excellent (and depressing) point.

I do not understand the fucking electoral college. Supposedly, it exists to protect us from tyrants? But, here we have an orange tyrant who lost the popular vote (by 2million!) and by all accounts they’re planning to hand him the keys to the White House.

Do you know why NYC is required to pay for this? Can’t the mayor just say “nope” and have this come from federal taxes instead? Haven’t been able to find an answer to this one. Even for NYC that is a lot of money, esp. if this goes on for 4-8years. Or even longer, because even retired presidents and their families get…

“My Trump loving Facebook friend was posting that liberals should get over Trump being elected because she was scared when Obama was elected and was fine.”

She’ll be there to look “pretty” at White House State Dinners and a few other glitzy photo ops. Unless, Ivanka plays FLOTUS at those things. Which is very likely.

Trump voters’ willful ignorance drive is insane! His tax plan (insofar as there was a coherent plan) was public information before the election. The”white working class voters” could have easily compared it with Clinton’s. They could have also looked at Clinton’s ideas on improving healthcare access and compared that…

“He saw the word ‘Urban’ and thought “Black Guy” didn’t he?”

My daughter has a learning disability (dyslexia) but with certain academic accommodations (extra time on tests, etc.) she maintains above avg. test scores in English and well above avg scores in other subjects.

I’d also take them more seriously if they even put half the effort into protesting American wars and the death penalty AND did anything at all to improve quality of life through better health-care, environmental regulations, and support for financially or emotionally struggling kids and families.

Than you for posting that link and excerpt. I will def. be sharing it.  

“He’s the best Jew! The classiest one you’ll ever see. Trump only associates with the real, quality Jews.”

I’ve been wondering if we’re can expect another show as brilliant as Arrested Development, which was partly a response to the absurdity of the Dubya years.

Jezebel is not really a feminist site. The Slot sub-blog is proving its self to be feminist and intelligent. But Jez is just gossip, makeup, tearing down celebs.
