Yup. It’s relatively easy to get rich when you have no morals or ethics. Plus, they, like most wealthy people in America, probably inherited the bulk of their wealth.

You answered your own question.

They’re evil, ignorant, and arrogant. It’s way easier to get ahead when you don’t give a shit about anyone or anything.

This makes so much sense to me. I have been screwed over and gaslit by malignant narcissists and sociopaths, and after a while you start thinking differently as a means of self preservation. Keeping receipts becomes pretty important once you realize someone has continually been screwing you over and lying about it.

Exactly WRT Mary - plus, she was the one who anonymously released the tax info the the NYT. She tried.

No. Melania disdains all her perceived lessers. Don’t forget Melania amplifying Donnie the Con’s birther conspiracy against Barack Obama, or backing Cheetolini’s efforts against Hispanic refugees.

I seem to remember Mary Trump saying in an interview that she and her aunt Maryanne were discussing the upcoming election in 2016 and neither one of them thought that Donald had a prayer of winning.  I think they were caught off-guard, like so many others.

Mary Trump probably believed that America wouldn’t want anything to do with her asshole uncle.  Anyone with half a brain knew what a POS Trump was, but that didn’t stop people from voting for him. You can’t put this on Mary. You think Trump and the other two siblings fucking her over on an inheritance would have…

Shelter Cat Update!

I think your analysis is right on target. What these people don’t understand, however, is that the people they’re voting for see them not as they wish to see themselves, but as the “weakest” part of their identities.

One thing which I read recently, which I think helps illuminate the “reasoning” behind a lot of people like Miller, is that since a lot of human interaction/relationships are based on some sort of hierarchy, people often instinctively side with whatever part of their identity has the most “power” in any given…

After the fall of the Soviet Union Republican politicians gave Reagan credit while others gave the Pope along with the Soviets system of government.
Another reason was the communist party’s removal of professional bureaucrats who ran the day to day operations of the government and replaced them with unqualified hacks…

“It’s just that this is all I care about. I don’t have a family. I don’t have anything else. This is my life.”Stephen Miller.

This guy apparently is not familiar with the widely held belief that you can tell a lot about a person’s character by how they treat servers. Why the immediate assumption that women are flirting?  Maybe they are simply being nice, which they’re socialized to do from birth. Would he think it more normal if they were…

I don’t know, there’s something even more insidious about it happening in Hollywood because we are active participants in this and we see the reality of the outcomes for a lot of these children as adults. The complicity also lies within us the public, who celebrate these children knowing full on the risk that comes…

Rachel-Wood has really grown into a very thoughtful person. People are quick to harp on celebrities, but I do feel despite the money, you are very powerless. It’s a church we all congregate to because it does fill a certain portion of our spirt but we all know the extreme abuse that takes place behind closed doors. I…

These anti-Jewish ideas are not unique to NOI, they are floating everywhere in America and have been since the beginning. The irony of Black folk taking these ideas up is that anti-Blackness and anti-Jewish/anti-Muslim both stem from the origins of white supremacy.

Now for some tinfoil action. I wonder what would…

The Princess and the Frog is a criminally underrated Disney film. I love it.

Dr. Facilier is one of the best character interactions at Disney.  

If anyone is interested in taking a deep dive to learn exactly how and why this is a momentous change and learn the history of this film, I suggest Karina Longworth's excellent podcast 'You Must Remember This'. Her season 'Six Degrees of Song if the South' is well researched and gives in depth explanation of how the…
