OMG I just watched one and I’m HOOKED

I am Canadian but have a sister-in-law and two lovely nieces (who are dual citizens) who are very close to the Bush family. They all currently reside with their families in the US.    Buffalo, Connecticut, New York City.

The Republicans have dusted off the old Regan era ‘welfare queens’ narrative again. ‘People don’t want to work if they can get buy on food stamps and welfare’. Another big lie brought to you by the GOP.

I don’t think so. 37 year old Ivanka Trump is not entitled to another 9 years of SS protection. Give me a source if you are going to contradict. I am actually acquainted with the daughters of a former president - and I’m not even an American. As adults, they were afforded no more protection after their father was…

OK, here’s the facts. Former presidents are given ‘protection’ for life - this includes the spouse and children under 18. That’s it. You don’t think that Ben Sasse hasn’t been threatened. How about the governor of Michigan? You don’t think she has received a death threat... probably thousands at this point? She is not…

What? Are you saying that the Trumplings (who have many millions of dollars apparently) should have their perceived need for special security funded by the taxpayer? Are you just kidding with me? 

Counterpoint - if there was a credible threat, then the family should have been sheltering in place, no? The cost of secret service goes waayyy up when you have to put everyone on flights, and put them up in hotels etc etc. If on the other hand, Ivanka and family just elected to languish at one of their properties,…

Capitalism does not want your refrigerator, stove, vacuum cleaner to last for 30 years.

Considering Christian culture is based on biblical text, we can take a look at the role of women in the bible. Well, there’s Mary. Famous only because she was a pure vessel for the production of the great man. There’s Eve, famous only as a temptress who got Adam into deep shit. There’s Mary Magdalene - bad woman…

Loophole. Created by men for men.

Skorts - shorts with the skirt attached. They are now made with ultra light fabric and surprisingly have been a gift from ladies golf wear. Ladies golfers used to look pretty bad - long ugly shorts or knee length ugly skirts in horrible fabrics. I would definitely shop the ladies golf department now though

Is it in any way coincidental that this post about ‘tall men’ being chosen for Succession is posted the same day as Vanity Fair publishes the same ‘idea’. Who stole from who?

I guess there are many paths that Bill Gates could take. Or Jeff Bezos. Or Warren Buffet. Or Musk. They could hoard most of (or all of) their wealth and pass it on to their children and spouses/girlfriends. They could fund a new building at a famous university or hospital so that they can slap their family moniker on…

I was very much hoping a solution would present itself starting with:

Yup, re-shaping your human body bag. What an accomplishment. 

If I was rich, my first expense would be a personal chef.

I wouldn’t recognize a Billie E. song if you hit me over the head with it so I will just take it as truth that she has a big fan base and lots of talent. Her look is hard to miss because it seemed to go counter to what the female vocalists of today like to present - Lady Gaga, Rihanna both come to mind. Big glam and…

Personally, if you like wearing a head scarf and it is your decision and not driven by some crazy religious bullshit - then go for it. I really don’t care about whether people cover their heads... or not... but if you cover your face - get away from me. Obviously I don’t mean covid prevention masks. 

I would still like to know what their plan was vis a vis fencing a ‘hot’ dog. 

Well Katie will be waiting a while yet - there is a lot of longevity in that family so Charles could hang around for years to come. Although I must say that every picture that I see of him, he is an alarming shade of red.
