Might I suggest Hakeem Jeffries? Anyone? Five anyones?

LOVED when Ultra-MAGA Stefanik, during her introduction of Gym Jordan, commented that he has always been a great leader all the way back to his days as a wrestling coach and the ENTIRE democratic side of the aisle broke into great laughter. Fantastic unexpected comedy.

The fact that he lost votes between ballots means a lot. That they’re not holding a second vote later in the day means a lot. Jordan doesn’t have the support & has no idea where to get it.

I definitely share the joy of seeing him in flames, but the idea of him NEVER getting the chair depends on the spines of a non-zero number of Congressional Republicans, which is not something I’d ever feel good about betting upon.  

Jordan is a fascist insurrectionist piece of shit who enabled the sexual abuse of minors. Watching him get humiliated as he’s flailed about like someone who doesn’t know how anything in Congress works (spoiler alert: it’s because he doesn’t) has been a joy to behold. Add in the fact that a number of Republicans from…

Happily Ever After and Happy for Now. Both are required plot trajectories for romance novels.

Ellison complained that she needed to find secret “safe spaces” where she could essentially be racist without being judged. I didn’t think it was possible but she’s uglier on the inside than the outside.

“Dobby was only doing what master said!”

Being directed to do something illegal is not the same thing as being forced to do something illegal. Everything she did was the choice of a sentient adult with a criminal mind. Full stop.

It’s weird that someone so ugly thinks she’d do well in a harem structure? Sorry not sorry.

Thanks for the recommendation, I now dislike her even more, she isn’t just a show pony for capitalism run amok she is a shining light of an emotionally dead bigot being happy with their hate.

Having worked in an industry that dealt with wedding stuff, your second paragraph is pretty much correct. The wedding upcharge is a nuisance fee. The places I worked, if you wanted a large white cake for a “party (wink wink)“, we didn’t care because the people doing that weren’t going to be a problem. The people…

honestly, everyone wants to believe that their friends, family and guests are perfect little angels on their best behaviour at an elegant dinner. But the reality is, the venue takes on SO MUCH risk. The insurance for a wedding event is so much more than a birthday party. Same with the breakage and staffing. When the…

Well he does have a higher rate for the exact reasons stated: at weddings guests tend to overdrink and there is a TON of clean up to do. WAY more so than people just staying the night and having a quite dinner. There needs to be security (usually), there’s liability (insurance etc), I don’t know about your venue but…

ways to ACTUALLY save money on a wedding that don’t involve lying to your vendor team and treating us like scam artists:

encouraging people to “lie” to their vendors gets contracts cancelled. if you don’t like the rate you’re being presented with, ask for a breakdown and comparison to a ‘non’ wedding event. Calling people fuckers and encouraging lying is not doing anyone any favours.

And yeah, if I found out that a client lied in their contract, I’d revise the rate asap or cancel. That is BEYOND disrespectful, and a horrible way to enter a business relationship. Again, if you don’t like weddings and feel we’re all out to “get you”, elope at city hall. We’ll all be fine without clients like that.

wow. “fuckers”. yeah, small businesses that can realistically “work” one day a week (95% of weddings are on a saturday, hence the premium pricing), that make just enough of a profit to live a very normal middleclass life. INSERT EYEROLL HERE. If you don’t like weddings, don’t have one. But please don’t lie to your…

““Anti-bride” is just a new version of the same list of “musts” that a woman has to achieve in order to be a good and trendy host on her wedding day, but framed by punching down at women who want a traditional wedding experience and the legions of women who did the traditional thing before.”

There’s an important distinction that gets lost in nearly every discussion of “high-maintenance” women vs. “chill, “low-key,” etc. And that is the distinction between what you are doing/paying for yourself, and what you are asking of others.
