When my son was in fourth grade, during the election campaign, we had returned to the school from a field trip. The teacher was delayed, so I stayed with the class. Out of nowhere, this tall little red head girl starts screaming at the other kids, “Hillary is a liar and a cheat and don’t you dare say she isn’t! Trump…
I do that only when my nephew’s father isn’t around. He voted for Trump. Can’t believe my sister hasn’t filed for divorce yet.
I wish he had been aborted.
Sucks for the kids in this next generation that they will grow up thinking, to some extent at least, that it IS normal, since they have no real basis for comparison. Reagan was president when I was my son’s age, and I definitely remember learning about the president in school and seeing/hearing about him on the news,…
I make a point of telling my nephews “This isn’t normal. I’ve never seen a President act anything like this.”
As we all should.
My husband and I make an effort to say something negative (or even just accurate) about President Trump in front of our 5 year old every day. I don’t want there to be any question in his mind, when he’s old enough to look back, that we hated Trump and disagreed with the direction he steered this country in.
You are raising her right.
As she should.
“I bring my kids up to respect the office of the presidency and the president.”
Fuck that. My 6-year-old uses air quotes with “President” anytime she says his name.
It’s the stand that matters. MC is still working and has fans all over the world. Him saying he wouldn’t work with someone again is important.
I’m pretty sure that Woody Allen hasn’t asked Michael Caine to work with him in the past, ooh, 25 years. Only one old guy required (and it isn’t the actor).
Michael Caine you’re 84. This stand is a little late. It’s not like you’ve got a huge list of projects at your door.
I am a grown-ass adult and I still work like this. In fact, I’m procrastinating from some work right now. Troll under a bridge always feels like my next career move. Back when I was in school you couldn’t turn stuff in at midnight because you had to hand it in on paper—probably just as well or I’d have been typing…
When I confessed my sexual harassment story to a guy I used to work with, his response was “I always felt something was off about that guy and I could never figure out what it was. I figured I was being crazy, turned out he was sexually harassing a bunch of women in the office.” Sometimes you get a vibe and you don’t…
This scene though!
I’m generally pretty eyerolly about karma and energy and that kind of shit, but this is absolutely relatable to me. It’s like meeting a friend’s new boyfriend, feeling vaguely disquieted but having absolutely no specific reason to speak ill of him...and then come to find out years later that he was an abusive,…
Off topic but I was just thinking about James Avery and how great a father figure he was for us teens of color. To all accounts he was equally great off set. I guess I just want to say screw Bill Cosby. Uncle Phil should get more love than he does.
