nothing inherently, and i appreciate it every time and thank them kindly, but i typically make them laugh by invoking my mother and father, as i had no control over my naming.

No way. All of it needs to stay private!

As a person with step-siblings, I get that they may not see her as a sister. However, as an adult, I don’t understand how they can be so shitty to an eight-year-old. Be mad at your dad and her mother all you want, but being an asshole over whether or not the child deserves what appears to be rightfully hers is a dick…

Yeah, I mostly agree. Except I think the Hamptons house is key. They don’t want her showing up. Ever. She wants to show up. Whenever.

Their dad had the other woman go through in-vitro to have her. It’s not like she was a surprise to anyone involved.

It’s about $74,000,000 or so. Lots of money.

I saw someone say this on Gawker a few months ago: what must it be like to know for a full fucking fact that your hero hates you? You, specifically. Not a vague general feeling of unease but actual seething hatred. How does Christie still listen to the Ghost of Tom Joad knowing that Bruce really and truly hates him?…

So they sent three immature men with anger issues to an intelligence briefing? What could possibly go wrong?

Even if she doesn’t believe what she says (I’ve always doubted that she does) she still doesn’t care what she says, so I still question her soul.

HOW DO YOU KNOW I DRIVE A PRIUS?!!?!?!?!?!

I mean, as Jewel said: “As a feminist, I can’t support everything that’s being said tonight, but as somebody who hates Ann Coulter, I’m delighted.”

Can we just stop talking about She Who Must Not Be Named? It doesn’t matter to her if the press she gets is unflattering, she just wants the attention. If we ignore her she will go away.

Normally I’d be against the relentless abuse of a dumb animal, but I’m ok in Ann Coulter’s case.

Tom needed to be able to feel like he still owned her vagina even though he would no longer have access to it.

I was nodding to your suggestion, thinking that it was pretty brilliant - but thought of an unintended consequence. If people know that CPS is going to cross reference utility records with the address they use for benefits or school, they may avoid registering their kids for school or applying for food stamps for fear…

Are people routinely arrested for being very poor and staying in uninhabitable places in the US? If it’s a crime to have children while poor, surely the state also has some responsibility to take care of poor children aside from just arresting their poor parents?

I am aware, but the president doesn’t have that power, and congress wouldn’t be likely to go along with it.

NAFTA prohibits tariffs on trade between the US and Mexico.

I read that EPN told Trump he wasn’t paying for lunch, either. So Trump paid with his Amex and left angry, before Trump’s ‘team’ sent out a message saying Trump and EPN agreed that the latter would pay for their next dinner, and dinner is more expensive than lunch, so Trump is a master negotiator.

@hfree: Yes. I remember the dog poo all over the white carpets. I remember thinking she didn't seem to know what she was going to do with her life, whether she was going to go the Paris Hilton route or follow her aunt's path into charitable work.
