I would think any First Lady with small children would initially think “would it be better for the kids to let them finish the school year”.

But Melania is a Trophy Wife. In order for a Trophy to do it’s assumed ‘job’, it must be displayed every now and then to intimidate or awe ones’ enemies and followers.

Paul Ryan is such a spineless weasel. I can’t believe that people like him and Mitch McConnell are supposed to be keeping Donald in check.

Now if he decides to fire someone like Mattis at some point for not obeying a presidential directive...then things start getting really interesting. And far scarier.

A little. But the country was far more divided then than it is now, at least so far. 50,000 Americans were dying in a stupid war that was on TV every night. American kids were being gunned down on American college campuses by American soldiers. American inner cities were literally burning down. Political leaders were…

Tax returns took down Capone. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Meanwhile my parents voted for Trump. Don’t worry about them though, they’re on a cruise ship living the good life on their “fixed income” that my mom loves to complain about.

I’ve been having flashbacks to the horrible, abusive marriage I left since he took office.

I was *just* asking my mom this very question last night! She’s 68, so she was on the front lines for civil/women’s rights during the 60's and 70's. She said that while it was bad for POCs and women, she felt like they had hope. She is absolutely despondent about what’s been happening. My mom was/is a fucking badass,…

I can only imagine how my dad would be reacting (god rest his smutty soul). He despised Trump (my dad worked at a major telecom and I believe had an interaction w/ Trump at one point). Back in 2000ish I remember he talking to him about Trump. His opinion Trump is a dishonest sack of shit who has never earned an…

You nailed it. I’ve been having flashbacks to the horrible, abusive marriage I left since he took office. My ex was a gaslighter and it leaves you battling to hold on to your sense of what’s real and what isn’t. I feel panicked and short of breath; it’s going to be a long, terrible shlog for our country and everyone…

I feel like Bannon and Conway are smug bastards who are using the Nixon blueprint but think they can “fix” where Nixon “went wrong” and come out of all of this fine. Except I hope they get a huge smack to the face, fired and arrested for all the world to see.

Does that mean he only speaks to Bannon and Conway before he decides this stuff?

I mean I’m Australian, but from what I recall this is way worse than the Bush administration. I never seriously considered that Bush might actually drop a nuclear bomb on someone for a minor infraction.

Eh, while I’m not quite that old, I wouldn’t buy into the comparisons.

No no no no no no. Not at ALL. I was in college, so I remember well. It wasn’t this scary. I wasn’t this unsettled after 9/11 happened. Our government was stable and things were going along according to protocol (Patriot Act was an obvious low point as well as the Iraq War). Yes, there was Darth Cheney and W was…

Trump: *realizes Statue of Liberty is not getting with the program, dismantles same and prepares to ship back to France. (Mexico to pay shipping costs).

Not to worry, Trump still has Hannity on his side.

BILL O’REILLY said that?! Jesus, now I know I’m in fucking Bizarro World.

Since I’m a lowly grey (sob) my comment about this didn’t make it. Homan handled deportations. Yay. :/
