Same. I didn’t recognize the feeling at first, because the possibility of it occurring has never, ever crossed my mind.

What I wouldn’t give for a “is our children learning”-level gaffe as a palette cleanser after Trump’s shit

I bet they were actually pretty thorough binders, too, especially compared to Trump’s research (zoomed in Wikipedia printouts)

We didn’t know how (comparatively) good we had it with Mittens. As movie villains go, he was that rude rich guy who tried to foreclose on the Goonies, meanwhile Trump is pacing closer to Heath-Ledger-Joker territory.

I actually miss Mitt Romney. That is what this garbage fire of an election cycle has done to me.

The main thing holding me back from believing that theory is his ego. If he didn’t believe this shit, would a man as notoriously vain and thin-skinned as Trump voluntarily make himself look so utterly stupid and ridiculous? Unless Hillary was holding Ivanka hostage, I just don't see it happening (and even then...)

This is exactly what jumped out at me – her son has never dated as an adult, he apparently has no examples of healthy familial relationships for context, and he sounds like he was desperate for any kind of love. Poor kid :(

‘I never thought I was crazy for having these feelings because I didn’t see her as my mom, it was more like going to a club and meeting a random person. It didn’t feel wrong, it felt normal.’

I originally started following them as marketing/social media research, but then they totally got me with one of their FB ads. The underwear is really great, and works well (but it’s just SO expensive)

I caught myself doing that during beach volleyball last night! Just awash in patriotism. I mean, maybe this is why a certain subset of our country wants to feel like this all the time? (it feels amazing)

Yes! This is one of the very few instances in which I would join a USA chant

100% agree. She throws her head back, sometimes opens her mouth wider than is “advisable” for television – it’s un-self conscious and I love it. It also reminds me of my own pretty loud/unusual laugh, which I totally used to be embarrassed about (because as we know, women are supposed to giggle, not guffaw).

I saw your comment upthread, nobody dismissed it

Pandering to anti-vaxxers actually has the potential to kill a LOT of people (when we lose herd immunity, people start dying of measles/mumps/rubella/polio and lots of other diseases that have been nearly eradicated thanks to modern vaccination)

Not to mention “gender neutral” doesn't mean what Ivanka thinks it does

Now that’s a diagnosis I could get behind (heh)

Was she, though? I mean, maybe about how superficial she is, but definitely not about the underlying cause (being a stupid asshole is not a symptom of ADHD)

That’s a distinction without a difference (because we’re both) https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-co…

My sister in law is from Baton Rouge! (Which is to say: it is also my least favorite place)

My friend and her new husband did this on Saturday! It was amazing
