After watching that dour, joyless  hostage video of Melania and Donald Trump, here’s a reminder (from just three years ago) of how joyful and inclusive a First Couple’s Christmas message can and should be!

Same here. Ungray on Jezebel, gray everywhere else.

I’m in the grays, so you probably won’t see this, but thank you for sharing what must be a painful and deeply personal experience.  This has to be the most interesting article I’ve read on any of these sites.  It took courage to write it; and I appreciate you sharing it with us.

This is how you call out or highlight a troll. Don’t respond to them directly. Leave them in the grays if they have nothing to contribute.

Yes. This is what all the advice columns tell you to do. Set and enforce your boundaries.

They absolutely should have just edited in the clip afterwards. It seems like they were setting this up to have a conversation about why he doesn't like listening to himself, which is also pretty rude of them.

Definitely. It’s very common to hate the sound of your own recorded voice due to the difference in the way it sounds to yourself hearing it through the bones in your own head versus how it sounds to others/on a recording (and so I can totally empathize with Adam Driver for not wanting to hear, and see, a clip for…

They also had the option to just not play it. Those interviews are taped for later broadcast. They aren’t live.

Yeah, I’m siding with Driver here. I hate diva behavior, but this is not diva behavior. And honestly, I’m surprised Terry Gross did this. She seems like the kind of person who would be sensitive to another’s pain. Maybe she genuinely thought he would be fine if he just removed his headphones. She doesn’t seem like a…

“We don’t really understand why he left,”

This is not at all the same thing. 

This! I also think with added stress of movie press junket AND the holidays makes doing this to someone an extra special shit sandwich. 

Nope. He set clear boundaries, has reiterated them over and over AND OVVVVVVER. He said he doesn’t like it. He said he doesn’t want it. That is not being a fucking diva.

I’m really sorry to hear that. I know that you can sometimes get discount dental treatment from dental students at a dental college.

If it wasn’t for the Obama glow, he would be just another also ran. The collective votes on name recognition, and little else.

The fact that it’s 2019 and we have a 77 year old quiet racist dude who failed three times over the past 30 years, running on a campaign nicknamed “NO MALARKEY” should be reason enough to cancel him from everything except a private life. But never underestimate America’s unconditional love for white men no matter how…

His past mistakes are not why he needs to be cancelled. He needs to be cancelled because to give him the Democratic nomination or any role in governance is to hamstring ourselves with outdated desire for and attempts to reach bipartisanship.

Can we somehow go back in time and cancel Joe before he decided to run for the Presidency?

Basically trickle down economics is one of the most successful con jobs in history; getting voters and the main stream media to buy into the idea that letting rich people and corporations keep their money would mean it would trickle down onto the rest of us.  It was just a scheme to help the rich and powerful.  I…

I’m a limitarian. Just as there’s a minimum wage, there should be a maximum wage.
