The only people I’ve seen discussing this show are Facebook friends in their late 30s who are big fans of Grey’s Anatomy and the Twilight movies, and who go on cruises hosted by washed-up musicians from the 90s. They think this show is great. That alone was enough to keep me away.

Thanks. I’m not American, but that just sounded wrong that Trump could just replace the person who was on the ticket one month into the admin with no checks on that authority.

Can a president just unilaterally replace a VP?

He was barely making any money before he started this whole politics thing - hence the fake grifter university and similar ventures - and I think he’s probably doing alright making bank as president. With the amount of money he’s making doubling the fees for Mar-a-lago, and charging an entire floor to the US…

Being a Democrat?

I read The Fountainhead in high school, knowing absolutely nothing about Ayn Rand. I came out of that book thinking it was a cautionary tale against being an asshole, because even if your selfishness gives you the superficial trappings of success or fame, you still emerge with no soul, no love in your life, and no…

He’s also making a huge amount of money every time he travels to one of his resorts (which he’s made it clear he plans to do every weekend) because all of his staff/secret service agents etc. have to stay there on the government dime, which goes into Trump’s pockets. Probably half the media pool pay to stay there,…

Oh fucking absolutely. 200K is chump change for a foreign government to have even a slight possibility of getting insider access to the US government, let alone access to classified intel. And given the fact that Trump obviously plans to spend every single weekend at Mar-a-Lago, and he’s repeatedly proven himself…

We used to read to each other a lot. He read the Hobbit and all of the Lord of the Rings books to me. Skipping the songs, because that shit gets old really fast.

All day long I’ve been trying to figure out why the US and Canadian leaders had a lunch discussing, what amounts to #womenwhowork (ie. Ivanka’s upcoming book). What the hell even was that? It just seems so random. Is that the sort of thing usually discussed by the US and Canadian leadership when they get together?…

I use Lancome Effacernes Waterproof Protective Undereye Concealer. For undereyes, obviously. It’s nice, easy to apply without it looking like a mask, and it stays put fairly well. But mostly I use it because I have neutral colouring and it’s almost impossible for me to find concealers and foundations that actually…

My partner did this with me with Harry Potter. He was too cool for school and pretended he hadn’t read the first few books when he had, but he was down for revisiting them, so when I tried to convince him to read them, he asked me to read them to him. He was great with that through the first few books, which I had no…

Also, as much as Trudeau is a floppy haired feminist yogi, he’s capable of some alpha dominance when he wants. Dude boxes. He works out. Trump would not be able to forcefully yank his arm if he wanted to - Trudeau could easily beat the shit out of Trump if he had to. And he’s been dealing with super powerful people…

I mean, compared with what the US has, he’s a fucking god, but we’re all pretty pissed off at him at the moment for backsliding on promises for electoral reform. I don’t hate him or anything, but I’m very disappointed with him. Although I pity him having to deal with the impossible, no-win circumstance of having to…

Who ended up being a domestic abuser so it’s retroactively ten times as satisfying as it already was at the time.

If Trump keeps treating Mar-a-Lago as the “Winter White House” he needs

Don’t get me wrong - I also think being a Grand Wizard of the KKK is a pretty good sign that someone is violent and sadistic. I am not mourning this guy at all, just noting that if his wife is an animal abuser, it’s a pretty good sign she’s also the sort of person who would murder her husband and throw him in a river.…

Yeah, I’ve taught at college before and worked with students who have very different learning styles, learning difficulties, and ways of processing information. You can always tell the difference between curious and engaged students seeking guidance for how to adjust course material to their being a strongly…

Kmart Canada went kaput in 1998, but apparently it still exists in the US.

I don’t think Kellyanne Conway experiences the same emotions as normal people. She’s certainly proved herself completely incapable of experiencing shame.
