Okay, as a regular traveller in East Africa, this pisses me off possibly more than it should:
I think she believed that Africa was going to be like one giant Ralph Lauren photo shoot, with beautiful Waspy white people elegantly draped over Land Rovers, or posing with cheetahs on the savannah. This whole trip just screams “noblesse oblige.”
I stopped saying to myself “This is the worst thing he’s ever said” about six months ago. I know he will easily top whatever wickedness he’s capable of with something so low I can’t even comprehend how he thought of it. Now I just drink. Do yourself a favor and go buy a good bottle of gin or scotch, it will help a…
You just know he’s sizing them up for future assault.
“Trump hit rock bottom today. He couldn’t possibly go any lower, right?”
Every time you think: he can’t stoop any lower, this is rock bottom. But there’s rock bottom, fifty feet of crap, then him.
In what possible way is his life in tatters?!!!!! I’ve had this argument for the last week (has it been a week? It feels like years) with my newly racist meme posting aunt. So far the answers is: It just is.
So there’s this story, which is awful beyond comprehension and makes my wife cry almost every night. The monster in the closet is still course the ongoing Mueller investigation. Then you have Duncan Hunter about to be re-elected while under a 48-count indictment, while attacking his opponent with the most vile…
Who the fuck gets into a fight at a reggae show?
No duh
Being a raging sociopath seems to be the only requirement to get into the current administration. No surprise they’re backing him up.
My question to my husband last night was, “If Kavanaugh could see into the future, do you think he would have not allowed himself to be nominated?” And he responded “No way, I know guys like him and they can’t imagine a world where past indiscretions would hinder future opportunities.” Made me realize how true that…
He knows he will get confirmed if he doesn’t withdraw. He doesn’t care what this does to his family, his friends, his victims or the country. His ambition is not bound by the tiniest bit of decency.
From the NBC article:
It is important to note that he said, “I drank beer with my friends. Almost everyone did. Sometimes I had too many beers. Sometimes others did. I liked beer. I still like beer. But I did not drink beer to the point of blacking out.”
Anyone with a smidgen less entitlement would have withdrawn their name by now. This guys a fucking sociopath. A raging drunk sociopath.
It was pretty good, but needed more rosy cheeked broken capillaries, besotted blinking when backed into a corner and over all denial-riddled defensiveness. Maybe he should’ve workshopped with another handsy dry drunk...like an Affleck, for example.
When he said “I’m a keg is half full type of guy” I almost fell off my chair. Brilliant. (Even though Matt Damon has shown himself to be pretty ignorant of his own white male privilege in the past)
The thing that got me the most is the VAST amount of people who are hand waving it away.
Republican regular men and women who assume that sexual assault is just something teenagers do. No BIGGIE. Just the price of being an American.
My daughter is 10 months old, and I realize the sad conversation that I’ll have with…
