A few pundits had speculated that the divisions within the Republican party would actually flare up if they managed to get a Republican into the White House, and that would be more damaging to them in the long run than if they lost the 2016 election.

We had a similar exercise conducted at a hospital I worked at about 5 years ago. Our “trainer” was a knowledgeable, former FBI agent & just about the kindest man you could ever meet. The first thing he told us was, “you’re not Jack Bauer so stop pretending to be”. He said they’d get calls all the time about people…

Video summary: men save lives, women panick, cry, put others in harms way with their emoooottiiioooonnssss

I called my rep over here in GA, prepared my best Customer Service Voice, and prepared for the time of my life.
Staffer: How may I help you?
Me, in my Finest Southern Accent: How do you do, is Representative [redacted] available?
Staffer: Uh, no ma’am, he’s not.
Me, Rolling a Natural 20 on my Charisma Check: Oh, well…

You missed Orange Julius Jr. attacking the Muslim mayor of London after a terror attack by misquoting and misrepresenting is views from an old article.

Oh he’ll donate it. Nothing like using other people’s money as a tax a write off.

He’s actually taking the paychecks. Sean Spicer even admitted he was taking the money and hadn’t yet decided what charity to donate his paycheck to. Trump is also taking the healthcare coverage for him, Melania and Barron.

Yup. I have to say we have put a temporary halt on any vacation travel to the US for the foreseeable future. As one couple, it would have a negligible effect for the US economy but for us it is the principle.

Collectively Canada does not care. It is our overly dramatic conservatives that are trying desperately to catch him in a scandal. (e.g. the ‘elbow’ incident)

Makes sense Us Weekly was acquired by the people who own National Enquirer. Both of those magazines have a vacuum seal on the asses of the Trumps. I find it sickeningly hilarious that two undeniably fake news outlets are the only way he gets good press coverage.

It’s not as though Diana didn’t spend a huge chunk of that marraige cheating and smiling for the cameras.

My friend works at NASA, and they are saying with the budget and timeline cheetolini is giving them that it would be extremely dangerous and put people’s lives at risk.

“really good friends” with your spouse is still pretty good.

Charles was fucked over by his father’s expectations, Diana and Camilla were both fucked over by Charles’ lack of spine. Hurt people hurt people, as the therapists say.

Charles and Diana’s pairing came about for much the same reason people have disaster sex - the need for human closeness and comfort during a tough time.

I think half of it is that men in general expect (without realizing they have been socialized this way) women to do all the reminding, pointing out, and other intellectual work needed to get domestic tasks done.

Here’s the issue my husband believes (like literally believes) we are at 50/50 when in reality it’s more like 90/10 and it blows my mind. What was even more revealing is I tried to create a chore chart/list to create a more equal workload but so many items I was like “he won’t do that right” or “this looks like he’s…

My partner and I are both men, and so many of my female friends have seen how we are at home and with our daughter and expressed how much they wish that the division of labor and in particular child-rearing wasn’t mostly assumed based on the gender of those involved.

Wow. This is me. After two kids and four years later, we’ve sorted it out, but it was rough-going the first few years. The patriarchy is a real thing, and “what do you mean, you can’t cook/clean/do laundry/take care of the kids/work/etc all at the same time, cuz MY MOM did it!” was an attitude he took, along with, “I…

They’ve been a joke since a B-movie actor became President.
