Oh yeah, they’re definitely all second and third generation rich kids whose insistence they’re hard workers who earned their keep, and desire to prove as much, is more likely to run the family business into the ground. I read an article on Kushner in particular that showed how phenomenally inept - and similar to his

Yeah, really the most charitable thing one can say about Ivanka Trump is that she’s a ruthless opportunist who is probably deeply damaged by being raised by one, possibly two, narcissist parent(s). Either that, or she’s a bigoted sociopath. Anyone who helped a Trump presidency come into being, in the smallest or

I’m glad you’ve come to terms with makeup and found something that works for you. It’s something I, as a woman in her mid-30s, still struggle with. I had some pretty severely weird socializing when it came to makeup. My mother doesn’t wear it, and spent my entire childhood subtly convincing me that the reason her

The difference is that the NC case is very transparently political maneuvering without merit. But it’s relevant. The reason the Democrats are hesitant to challenge election results in any way is to keep the moral high ground due to the fact that the Republicans have taken up contesting election results as a part of a

It’s weird that they’ve suddenly become so open and proud about it.

I think he’s actually just a sociopath who doesn’t care if anyone else gets hurt so long as he’s in a position of power.

Donald Trump’s only Jewish friend, so clearly he can shed some light on the situation.

Literally the only possible scenario where Kim Jong Un makes a positive difference in the world.

Seriously? I have seen old photos of them, and they don’t look any different to me.

By doing the things she is doing, her personal politics are fascist. Actions speak louder than thoughts you hide away in your head.

It’s a blind trust because he makes Ivanka close her eyes during the classified meetings. Obviously.

I don’t think Ivanka is a dullard, by any means but I also don’t buy that she’s the business wiz master strategist everyone seems to think she is. I think she’s a pretty damaged and selfish person who knows how to put up a good front from growing up in the public eye, and little more. And increasingly she’s reminding

Bivvy sack. Which.... more gross?

It’s mainly because yellow is probably the least flattering colour he could possibly wear. He has cool colouring, which is why the yellow hair and orange make-up look as spectacularly bad as they do. You put him in a blue or grey shirt in those older pictures and, he still wouldn’t be an attractive man, but he would

Except, twenty years ago that’s probably what the electoral map would have looked like if it only counted Gen Xers. So another question - why do people become okay with fascism as they get older?

I know it’s been a long, slippery slope of dirty tricks and ratfucking and whatever else, but at what point, exactly, did the Republicans become legit fascists? Because clearly I wasn’t paying attention, but the outright, bald-faced contempt for democracy by the American right wing the past four years has really

Fair enough, I think I know the point you were getting at, then. And I understand, it can be tricky to want to find the balance between supporting kids in finding their identity and not wanting to steer them off course in the interests of supporting them. Based on my own past experiences, I’ll admit I have some

I don’t think they will, though. There has been some interesting research done on people who find authoritarian leaders appealing, and I think for all of their loud noises and hateful rhetoric, these are mostly pretty passive, weak people who will only act when they feel some strongman leader has given them permission

This is what got me all through the election. How did his supporters, who constantly criticized Hillary for being dishonest, not realize Trump was constantly lying about everything and - probably more importantly to his supporters - the things he was promising to do are, almost without exception, impossible to

Thinking about how much the presidency ages people, and the added pressures of trying to do Trump’s job for him while simultaneously baby-sitting him and psyching him out by convincing him things are his idea by saying them on TV and.... what is KellyAnne Conway going to look like in 4 years? Seriously, if she
