Interesting share about your mom there - my dad was a stroke patient who had severe aphasia and other problems with vocalizations, and he relied heavily on “big time” also! He was a native English speaker who was a brilliant engineer before he got sick. I’ve shared on here before about how much riled-up Trump reminds…

Thanks! That’s a great tip - I spent a couple of hours a few weeks ago making myself a voting cheat sheet using the info on ballotpedia. I’ll recheck my choices using this site :-)

Así es la vida con Trump.

ETA that’s what I call a big, beautiful wall.

Being a California voter is stressful.

That, and she’s blessed with a skin color that serves as Trump repellent.

She’s not his type.

...because it has always been creepy. Absent any other cultural context, it’s creepy. Lionizing it like, oh hey it was fine then because it was the 70s is similar to saying it was fine to pinch women’s asses in the 70s. It was never fine, it’s just that NOW we have the language and cultural support to talk about why…

He was a smarmy drunk. It was definitely creepy then, it’s just that no one was allowed to talk about it. There’s a reason that as a CHILD, I would watch him kiss these women and cringe.

Along the same lines, it’s always been awkward to see old Family Feud clips with Richard Dawson kissing every woman, but it’s gotten even creepier of late.

She’s the perfect sleeper agent because she has been underestimated her entire life, and she plays into that image, when really she’s the smartest and most powerful one of all!

Lincoln Chafee : We should adopt the metric system

Why should she expect birthday wishes from her dad? She was apparently lucky (according to the speech she gave at the RNC) to get a call from him when a friend of hers died.

*NYT, not IRS, and Kinja isn’t allowing edits all of a sudden? :-/

I SO buy into the conspiracy theory that Marla’s trying to take down his campaign from the inside, and Tiffany is her go-to agent. No one will ever convince me that she wasn’t behind the ‘95 tax return getting sent to the IRS, and I am similarly convinced by the argument you have presented here.

So, let’s just assume that Melania Trump secretly despises her husband which, frankly, isn’t much of a leap.

Most asshole 13 year olds haven’t gotten around to their first sexual assault yet, so Trump’s got an advantage there.

So what you’re saying is that Trump’s “presidential” temperament/behavior is equivalent to an asshole 13-year-old virgin’s. On that, we agree.
