But like what do you think actually changes because people find him attractive? You do realize that he may not have gotten elected if he were ugly, right? Google some articles about the effect of TV on presidential campaigns.

Well, I mean, I think most people who really like him like him for multiple reasons. I think it would be pretentiously ingenuous to act like he wasn’t attractive, too.

Well, if that’s your biggest problem....

Probably be pretty awkward if someone says, do you have a picture of your child/dog/vacation/new house and you are like, eee, can’t hand you my phone...

I think it’s hard for us to accurately judge this situation right now. Not the Trump thing, because we all know it’s a disaster. But the more intricate stuff is hard to really parse out without knowing the whole story. Once more comes out from the investigation, I think we can understand it more clearly. Things in…

The irony being that based on what I’ve heard, Michelle didn’t even like being FLOTUS. But she is a classy, respectable woman who chose to fulfill her role anyway and give it 110%.

I’d agree, except that Trump already criticized Michelle for doing the same thing Melania did. But we’re still not allowed to comment on their clothing choices?

But it has to do with the location, not that he’s the pope. People don’t dress like this when the pope visits them in their own country.

It’s also allowed to take a random office job while waiting to hear back from another one, and then quit the first job a week into it. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a crappy thing to do. Not saying they shouldn’t have done it, but you can do a thing that’s permitted and also be seen as a jerk.

Yeah, I’d like to watch the days of people who say “you can’t talk about this because a tragedy happened.” What are the chances that they talk about things that are not related to the tragedy? Like 100%?

It’s still probably not ideal to have to replace several at once. There’s a reason that your main dancers are main dancers. And then you still have to hire and train new alternative dancers.

I could see them doing this. Not as a way to “control the gossip narrative” but more to drum up publicity for themselves.

Yeah. A lot of the people who are recruited for terrorism are trying to avenge kids (and others) in their community being murdered. Now, the people in charge are probably doing it for other reasons, but the kind of person who would agree to target kids has probably seen Western countries bomb and kill innocent people…

But you can argue that a Christian who does bad stuff isn’t a *true* Christian. As in, they don’t understand the actual meaning behind the religion. You can also say that all religions involve negative attributes. Those things aren’t mutually exclusive.

Something meaning something valuable. Not sure if he sees a child as being that valuable. At least not compared with money or power.

There’s a good chance that if Trump is removed from office, he’s also going to jail. But I think I case could be made for the fact that he’s probably never done much parenting and she has.

Assuming Ryan had no idea any of this was happening...

I’m sure that will go well.

1. They don’t perceive that it will ever affect them personally. 2. Liberals don’t like it.

All that “Israel is our ally” stuff the Republicans spout means nothing if you leak intelligence they provide.
