Truth. I can plan for -30. At least it actually is -30 and not -7 but with windchill -45.

And if we’d wound up exactly here less than 100 days into the Clinton presidency, I’d be nervous, but at least I’d know there was a foreign policy expert in the White House who would have other experts advising her on how to thread this incredibly dangerous needle. And the White House probably wouldn’t be a chaotic…

If Hillary Clinton were President, 8 year old American Nora al-Awlaki & 35 other women/children would still be alive today because she would not have greenlit a raid Obama previously refused to.

the bombs are landing in syria, but the target is the russian collusion storyline.

Donald Trump Orders Military Strike Against Syria in Response to 35% Approval Rating and Russia Investigations.

Nope, there only one party that refused to give Merrick Garland a hearing. Only one party that set the record for Filibusters. Only one party that flat out refuses to work with the other side, and it’s not the Democrats...

Important question: where exactly does one go about procuring a pink briefcase? I’m graduating with my MA next year and entering the Foreign Service, and I don’t see why diplomats can’t also have pink briefcases.

If any moderates were moderate, they wouldn’t have approved all those dumb cabinet choices. They know he’s going to start a war to try and raise his approval rating, and they’re not going to stop him.

Well, fwiw, I suspect the idea that Trump is going to be run out of office by illegal connections with Russia is a bit of a pipe dream. He’s more likely to get sick and resign, have a heart attack and die, or just decide he’s not that interested in the day-to-day bullshit he never anticipated having to deal with. I…

Ditto. I own no jeans (truly), wear skirts in the dead of winter (and I’m in Toronto so that means snow - my legs essentially no longer feel cold ever), currently have gold sparkly nails... I’m more into purple than pink but that’s just because I look better in it, and anyone who decides I’m not a feminist because of…

I saw your comment just before I hit “publish” and it made me happy. I, too. live in oversize PJ pants at home. I did make an exception this winter and get some heavy yoga pants (warm + spandex). But those have already gone into storage. I’ll fess up to owning a couple pairs of cargo-type pants and some baggy shorts.…

I had a shit ton of Barbie toys as a little girl. My favourite colour has always been blue and I’m the only one in the house who knows how to use tools. I also have blond hair down to my butt and wear nail polish every day. I think I’m a 50/50 mix between stereotypically feminine and masculine aspects.

For whatever it’s worth, I was a total Disney girl growing up - I had all the princess costumes, I went as Jasmine for Halloween once and wore the costume as pajamas for a solid year after, until it didn’t fit anymore, I had Barbies, I liked the color pink best. I played with makeup starting at age 12 and was…

EXACTLY. My mom wouldn’t wear a dress at all anymore, and she’s had short hair since the 50s. I have long hair, high heels, and I wear pants in a work setting only if it snows. I’ve got a mouth like a trucker, a great career, and if sometimes my fingernails are green, so be it. I think owning who you are (within…

I am a strong feminist who loves having sparkly nail polish. I wear jeans and flats or a fancy dress. The thing about clothing for women is that we need to stop letting it define us. As long as we are choosing what we want to wear, there really isn’t a wrong, and buying into the conflation of wardrobe and feminism…

My FIL, who I swear is otherwise a lovely person, was talking before the election about how Hillary was sooooo corrupt and Trump was much better (although he lives in Utah and I’m pretty sure he voted McMullin). I walked through the living room as he was saying this and casually remarked that we were going to have to…

If they have kids, it will probably be better for the kids to not be exposed to their grandparents’ bigotry.

So basic Trump supporting shit people who are going to be reeeeeeeeeally surprised when they lose the house to have to pay for their medicine.

It’s horrible that this is happening but maybe this will help clean up the GOP? Like, do these people now realize that their bigoted lying evil party members really mean it when they say that sort of thing? Or are they just shrugging and saying “oh well, but her emails and vagina so nothing to be done”

The only thing worse in Mike Pence’s mind would be talking to any woman that isn’t his wife.
