Now Elliott has body issues... thanks Trump.

I’m boiling myself an egg for toast, and I’m not even hungry.

Staring you so hard for embiggend AND cromulent.

I’m a pediatrician, and I can’t tell you the number of times and amount of money I’ve been given to perpetuate the ‘vaccine conspiracy’. Oh wait... yes I can. ZERO. Pediatricians exist to do the best we can to keep children healthy, and vaccines represent (beyond improvements in water, nutrition, etc) the most…

You suggested that a Facebook meme should have comparable authority to a published book found in a library. I suggested that was wrong, and stand by that suggestion.

Yah - this sounds like another leak specifically designed to make Angie look like the reckless parent in the face of his drunken actions. There’s NO WAY this woman would take her kids into danger. She’s not going to expose them to trauma or threatening situations. For godsake, she’s trying to remove them because of…

Because I “found some book in the library that says so” is more legit than a facebook meme?

Totally agree with your take on the situation. I was just surprised by the comments in this thread. There seemed to be a lot saying “well, I agree with Brad! That’s crazy to take your children to Syria!” like they believed that this happened or that she was planning it. This particular story seems so unlikely to me, I…

Seriously, OLDER people? There was never a debate about vaccinating children when mine were young. And I get very tired of saying this, but do you know who INVENTED the internet? My 83-year-old mother had a first-generation desktop and has had every iteration since then. She now has a Mac laptop, an iPhone, a Kindle,…

I think the take here is “this is what Brad’s PR is accusing Jolie of” more than anything else. Because...and this is important- no one *actually* took any kids into Syria. My guess is she wanted to donate $ or had a lot to say about Syria and refugees...and that Pitt stopped listening to her talk about refugees and…

Yes, exactly! I made a similar comment. Angelina is not just traipsing around Syria or any of these countries on her own chatting with people and helping them “rebuild”. She is on missions and I do not for one second believe that the UN or any NGO would allow her to bring her children, even if she wanted to do so.…

Well it’s a shame it took her whole family getting sick but it’s refreshing to hear an anti-vaxxer say “I was wrong, I was batshit, I’ve since researched and have changed my mind”.

It’s actually a VERY SUBTLE and genius play on his (or more likely his team’s) part. Just look at all the feedback you’re getting -- people are assuming Jolie is a crazy do gooder who would traipse with her brood into an active war zone, likely for attention.

It’s a divorce with custody issues. They’re both going to submit ugly half truths about one another to get their way.

Oh, I see, thanks! Well, I would still say that I don’t really believe that rumour simply because you can’t just saunter into Syria with kids, especially if you are working with NGOs or the UN. They would not agree to something like that. I can also say, having worked for the UN, that the high-ranking position thing…

Would he just go to rehab already? So far his main points are he didn’t hit his kid in the face and his wife’s ambitions make her a bad mother. Get out of here.

I doubt, highly, that it was that black and white.

I keep seeing this reported, but when did Angelina take her children to Syria?? I was under the impression they went to a refugee camp in Lebanon and one in Iraq, but the Iraqi one was not in an active war zone. I seriously doubt Angelina would be permitted to bring her children into Syria even if she wanted to.

Christ, Brad, if your best defense is “my wife spent too much time taking our children to visit refugees and enhancing their worldview,” then you must be further into the bottle than anyone originally guessed.
