Usually (certainly in earlier years, according to archived Vanity Fair articles) he had a major boner for tall women. Probably thought that SH ought to feel honored he was willing to make an exception in her case.

And don’t forget, Bob Dylan once called him “America’s greatest living poet”. (hyperbolic, maybe--& my own vote would go to Chuck Berry--but still super-awesome :).

Well, one characteristic of “America’s Greatness” that DJT & friends keep trying to sink, is that the US is a “melting pot” that flourishes because it is comprised of peoples & cultures from all points of the globe. That was the drift of my old-person’s HS textbooks, at least ;).

Aw, bless you! This inspired my 1st look at Seventeen since long-ago tweendom, & I even learned something:

Yes. He thinks that being a President (or Senator, or Sec State, &c apparently) is like being a Djinn in the 1001 Nights. Had HRC simply bowed her head & clapped her hands, she could have made all sorts of isht just STOP. As Presient & Resident Djinn, Drumpfkof will fix everything & make all right again.

The whole “believe women” rhetoric is reductionist bs that tosses logic out the window, anyway. We need a thing known as “evidence.”

Nightmarish. And: France has a “Women’s Rights Minister?” Sounds good, but appears to be a titular position, judging by the archaic cultural climate :(.

If such a thing is even possible, you just made him even more frightening. The two juxtaposed pix pretty much confirm that he has the stare of a “trained” Scientologist.

omg! You actually live IN Florence, KY? Land of a Thousand Fulfillment Warehouses? (so full, that one publisher I worked for had to move to a nearby Flo-wannabe town, cause Florence was all filled up ;).

Church? Oh; maybe that’s it. She was born into a family of active socialist (eg Godless commie) Jews ;). They might not have as big a community in FW as the one she grew up with in Brooklyn.

Oh, you poor thing: Texas?? Buena suerte. Over the past 40 years, my 85yo liberal-progressive auntie in Ft Worth has thrown election-night parties for the tiny cluster of Dems she knows in the DFW area. If two Obama terms are followed by HRC, disgruntled neighbors will probably call in with noise complaints :).

Deserves lots more stars :)

Before the birth of InstaModels, I was way more upset by the celeb conquest of fashion mag covers & ads (had a weird-but-genuine concern about models being put out of work!). It seems trivial now, of course, & the Gigis etc just seem a bit more ephemeral than their predecessors: if we had to lose one & keep the…

Or maybe Rudy knocked back a few too many drinks during a netflix binge, watching “Glitch” (a bunch of dead ppl in Oz come back to life & are indistinguishable from never-dead folks). “That’s what she’s gonna do; I know it!”

Historically, The Atlantic is known for being an open-minded & fearlessly progressive publication. Over the past year or two, though, I’ve seen some troubling, shabbily researched articles presenting messages that mainstream—ie somewhat sane, pre-Trump—conservatives would disavow. Just now, the only example that comes…

Aww!!! :(.

This has always bugged me. “Liberal” hasn’t shifted much from meaning “generosity” & “open-mindedness. “Conservative values,” though, is now just a war cry for me-firsters, bible/moroni-thumpers, & a suspicious horde of ignorant, angry, & fearful followers. Maybe they need to find a new word?

Wait; is blue-check-shirt dude at far-right (heh) making a HEART?

Odd; the Drumpf “advisor” didn’t add that to “major stockholder?” Okay, the claim would be just as implausible, but the extra words (plus Latino name) might confuse a few of those Undecided Voters ;).
