She is one of those people that just makes me see red. She was so horrible to the children on that show, never took accountability for anything, was never EVER wrong about anything. Her whole behavior here is completely in line with that: “oh, going to prison is really just a wellness retreat where I’m going to better…
1.) CNN was reporting last night that nobody in the administration expected the political blowback that occurred 0.4 seconds after the country found out about Comey’s firing. HOW? Did they honestly think that we’d all go, “Oh. Yes. Trump is clearly firing him because he was mean to Hilz. Makes sense to me.” Nobody in…
God, how FUCKING STUPID IS HE? Not only did he think firing Comey would successfully cover his ass, he thought people would be fucking happy about it.

Yep, weekend elections might help just a wee bit.
Turnout may have been low by French standards, but a 65% turnout would be considered amazingly high here in the USA.
I get it, but most American voters chose Clinton and I will not have the voice of the people erased! Our system can suck all the dicks, tho.
I’d say not voting in the open racist and fascist is a pretty good victory for democracy.
She advises women to be authentic in the workplace while refraining from oversharing, to negotiate salaries, and to use periods of unemployment to reflect on their goals. (She also recommends that you hire three recruiters to secure a new position.)
*facepalm*
“It should be talked about.”
“Okay, let’s talk about it.”
“That’s enough. We’re done.”
