i don’t care, but i know someone who has a pie for him

The second part of that lemonade stand story In The New Yorker is kind of revealing, too, but in a different way:

They persuaded their bodyguard to buy lemonade, and then their driver, and then the maids, who “dug deep for their spare change.”

This is the quote from the Times that truly concerns me.

Other outlets are reporting the woman’s full name is Tami Barker, and that she is an ESL instructor at a local community college. Someone’s in the wrong line of work.

As an Asian person I would like to say how frustrating it can be to tell people, yes we experience racism. And they’ll be like well you guys are so smart! And you’ll be fine.

I cannot, for the life of me, decide who I hate more - I read this, and set my rage on Ivanka. But then! I remember that Jared - a 36-year-old who fell into this position by way of marriage with zero credentials - is currently in Baghdad, “solving” Iraq’s complex, multi-faceted, interlinked, and very bloody crises…

Look, just because I’m being silent doesn’t mean I’m being silent. It just means I’m being. Silently.

She’s a weasel.

I was watching the news and they basically gave her a pass. She’s not being a force for good. She’s being a force for herself.

This girl gets so many free passes and kudos simply because she is attractive. She’s an unethical businesswoman advising an unethical president. He’s using her as a shield while he pulls of his anti-woman antics.

“I don’t know what it means to be complicit”

Fox is like the hood over my stove. It’s constantly covered in this thin film of tacky, disgusting grease and when you touch it by mistake you recoil.

Sometimes, the free market actually works the way it is supposed to. This is one of those times. I have chosen to enjoy this moment by throwing my head back and laughing loudly.

I grew up in a household that many in my small town considered “suspect” - my folks had moved there from a larger city, they were voracious readers, my dad did volunteer work with addicts, my mom was a professional - so I fully understand the feeling of judgement and rejection.

Ashley Feinberg is a national fucking treasure.

Seriously, this is where I stopped reading and became concinved Comey should just be fired.

“take off ur cardigan... take off ur second cardigan”

I never thought I’d be saying that W isn’t the worst president of my lifetime. Also, he may have been in someone’s pocket but at least he was bought and paid for by an American company instead of some Russian one. That’s true patriotism.

Guys, Trump has done the impossible and made me nostalgic for Bush. I would gratefully trade him into the office of President in a heartbeat. That is how bad things are. And it pisses me off that Trump is making Bush, who was an AWFUL president, be whitewashed with positive sentiment. But here we are.
