I've really started getting frightened about the political state of our country in the past few months especially. No, I can't draw a straight line from A to B, but I can say, just to name ONE little example, that Ted Cruz has:

The terrible thing is that kind of knowledge never sticks. It's not like they'll just start trusting your judgement or anything now. If had things like this happen so many times but it never really changes things.

This reminds me strongly of when my husband and I went to a marital therapist about a decade ago. After many sessions, we eventually got to the "Trust" issue. So the therapist said to me, "why do you have trust issues with your husband?" And I gave up a succinct laundry list of the usual stuff: he's unreliable,…

Sounds very Coen Brothers, yes.

I honestly think that detective is still so unaware and clueless that somehow he thought he would come off looking good, like he could explain things in a way that would let him off the hook. It's the same reason why Republicans used to go on Colbert's show.

Where do you live? Just curious, because if you're an American, an FYI that Ted Cruz will be announcing his presidential candidacy from Liberty University (yes, THAT Liberty University) tomorrow.

Yeah, well, they could be faking that, too. I've had numerous obnoxious people over the past decades (mostly men) engage in the, "hey, girl, just smile! Things can't be that bad! You'd look so much prettier with a smile on your face!" bullshit with me (a mixture of strangers on the street, coworkers, construction…

So, let me get this straight: "Side effects may include…death?"

To quote the Lena Dunham character here: "…that's, that's awful…."

I don't like ripped jeans either, and retailers usually make you pay more for the "distressed look", which drives me crazy.

See, when our family saw those commercials, we all just started laughing hysterically. No trauma.

I love to imagine how many hours of google research got her to those lyrics.

But he fidgets with his hands too much, and I can't stop being distracted by that.

Believe me, they're trying to find a way. Tea Party/RNC lawyers have been crawling through the relevant documents with a fine toothed combs, attempting to make Ted Cruz=candidate for President happen.

I can't enjoy anything like this either; Ted Cruz's very existence makes me unsatisfied with anything less than Seth Meyers punching him in the fucking face. Repeatedly. And I'm a total pacifist, so there.

It's just a stab to my heart when I see morons on the Internet trash talking this woman, because to me, she is flawless.

I feel like I shouldn't be applauding this sentiment, but I will anyway.

It would still be refreshing.

Remember folks, when you are a politician and have to resign because your shady, scummy activities come to light: never, ever, ever, admit to the tiniest amount of any wrongdoing, graft, corruption, criminality, or even ethically challenged behavior.

I hear ya.
