I’m guessing it is because the victim lived and so it’s attempted murder and not murder. It’s a weird distinction because “attempted murder” just means you failed in your goal of committing “murder.” But (and I’m not a lawyer or judge) I’m guessing that life sentences are for murderers, not attempted murderers.

Ahhh, but the feeling you get when you realize you didn’t raise a psychopath is truly amazing!

We’ve cured cancer, AIDS, HIV. Abortions are A-OK and health care is cheap and affordable for everyone. Police brutality is down and wages across the board are up. The Orange Fiend has retreated to his golden tower and yet to come out, nary a tweet hath escaped his small-fingered grasp. Some say he died due to lack of…

Ew, I forgot about the Commando Clause.

“I wonder what’s happening in the reality that has Hillary as POTUS.”

This is a mirror universe episode of West Wing, Facist Wing. Additionally, she looks like she couldn’t be bothered to fully zip up her skin suit.

This is the most important point here. Michelle, and her daughters have lived through the last eight years of the worst shit imaginable thrown at them on a daily basis by the Republicans. Republicans never gave any of them a single iota of respect. Can you imagine what they would have done if Michelle had posed nude…

Allow me a brief moment of soapboxing-

Also a cultural thing- many people in Eastern Europe are confused why Americans smile all the time, even when not happy.

Melania Trump is hardly a stand-in for American women, she is neither a victim nor she is lacking agency. Rather she’s an active participant working to construct Donald Trump’s narrative readily available to put a gauzy domestic veil on his racism and misogyny.

I also don’t like the narrative that if a woman isn’t smiling all the time, she must be unhappy/bitchy/whatever. Weren’t we just defending Hillary from this nonsense?

She needs to put on her big girl panties and realize than no one in the history of abusive relationships has a better opportunity to escape her abuser. Get Katie Holmes in there to advise her.

I am butting in a bit. Nancy Kerrigan was given all her outfits by Vera Wang. She came from a comfy middle-class upbringing with very supportive parents and was portrayed as this elegant, delicate flower. Yuck. Her routines were boring and soulless. Tonya Harding had terrible parents, was forced to make her own…

But not more than twice per year.

I got through this and my first thought was: “Someone get this kid a go-gurt.”

Oof. Poor Cassandra couldn’t trot out art as an accomplishment when it came to snagging a husband on the marriage mart. I hope she played a mean harpsichord, or sewed fine, even stitches.

As for the statue, the face is vague, but the wardrobe is fantastic. I love the movement in the skirts. Without definitive sources…

And, this is what she looks like as a doll:

I’mma let you finish, but I expect Taylor Swift to be present at all significant events, at all times, with Olivia Benson accompanying her.
