I prefer my penguins in Santa suits:

His lack of impulse control is both astonishing and terrifying. And I disagree that the China situation is the goddamn worst. I’m afraid we haven’t seen anything yet.

The first post I saw on FB this morning: Protests only work if human rights have been violated. Protesting for not getting your way is just crying.

You raise some great points. Fortunately, they don’t really apply here. I have a son from a first marriage who’s in his 30s, doesn’t live nearby and isn’t easily influenced by anybody. Other than that, it’s just the two of us. My husband and his dad are exact replicas politically, but he doesn’t live close to us…

Thank you for sharing that advice; it did make me feel better. My husband and I know it would be futile to try to change each other’s mind, and we also know that if we persist in trying, our marriage won’t survive. I have liberal friends who can’t fathom being married to a conservative, especially during this…

I’m currently struggling with the answer to your question. When my husband and I first married, neither of us were interested in politics. I had a vague notion that his views didn’t necessarily align with mine, but at the time, it wasn’t a deal breaker.

Mine is full of people expressing their disgust with Beyonce’s “vulgar display” during her performance at the Hillary rally last night. Not sure how they can square that with the candidate they support; you know, the one who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy.

My great-grandmother would only mouth the word.

Can’t go wrong with bacon. I added lots of it to a sun-dried tomato cream sauce and served it over penne for dinner tonight.

Yup. Same here. I was ridiculously excited recently to learn that a neighboring county has made possession of small quantities only a misdemeanor. The wheels turn slowly in the state of Tennessee when it comes to granting legal access to the ONE THING that controls my Crohn’s better than anything else. Still holding…

Thank you! I was certain A.J. Daulerio had gone to the dark side, even though a few seconds of internet research would have enlightened me. It didn’t seem beyond the realm of possibility, which underscores how uncertain everything seems right now.

There’s something about the spot where the wall meets the ceiling that seems to invite scary things. I’ve posted this before, but it’s happened several times since then.

You may see it in the headlines. I’ve never felt this kind of murderous rage before. Deep down, I hope he does give me an opening, because I am so ready. Guess that’ll settle which side of the family sees us at Christmas!

Imagine my predicament: I have a Trump-supporting father-in-law due to arrive any minute to stay the weekend. I finally hid him on Facebook this morning after reading his screed about this very issue. It certainly looks highly suspicious to him! They’ve had all this time to come forward and didn’t! They’re only…

Do you really fail to understand why the women Trump has sexually assaulted haven’t come forward before now? I’ll try to explain.

How extraordinarily sad that your cousin had to make that sacrifice to keep someone else safe. I just posted my sister’s story of abuse by a biological uncle on another Jez thread. I ended it by saying that I would have gladly endured it if it meant my sister didn’t have to. Unfortunately, I didn’t know it was…

I posted on a different thread yesterday about my and my sister’s multiple molestations. I didn’t mention this specifically then, but since you shared your uncle story, I’ll tell my sister’s tale too, which I only learned about recently.

It’s easier for me to name the women I know who haven’t been violated in some way. That’s because there are exactly NONE. My sister and I seemed to invite an extraordinary amount of unwanted attention over the years. I’m six years older and for a long time, neither of us knew about the other’s experiences.

Yep. You can’t make this shit up: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/rush-limbaugh-hurricanes_us_57f5deffe4b0b7aafe0bff06

My cousin went to work on the Alaskan pipelines and lost the pinky and ring fingers on his left hand in an on-the-job accident. He received a $2.5 million settlement because the equipment he was using when it happened was proven to be defective.
