Yep. If I worked at that hotel I would never trust that manager’s decision making ever again.

Taking the word of a bag lady over a hotel guest?

I don’t like to see people lose their jobs in this pandemic, but-

I’m as white and WASPy as “Hilaria” Baldwin and if I knew nothing about this story, only that patient X was described as “complex” and “intimidating” even I would have immediately guessed “Black woman as described by a white man.”

So there’s a pandemic going on, and they have a critically ill knowledgeable patient who can speak their language and tell them exactly what’s happening to her, and they don’t take advantage of that fact and listen to what she’s saying? There are three things that can account for that in this case: 1. racism, 2.…

I wish that these comments had been delivered at a press conference as opposed to a written statement. Because this jackass needed to be asked, point blank, “what, exactly, makes this patient ‘complex’? And how, exactly, is a 52 year old woman, who’s critically ill, in pain, and on oxygen, ‘intimidating’?” Would have…

Complex, huh? Intimidating, eh? Sounds like she...what?...didn’t know her place as a patient? This black woman physician was...angry...about the “care” she was receiving? Was her whole attitude...uppity...towards her attending doctor?

I also saw several human perspectives in the story she told – that of physicians who were trying to manage the care of a complex patient ... And the perspective of a nursing team trying to manage a set of critically ill patients in need of care who may have been intimidated by a knowledgeable patient who was using…

The question, I think, is why weren’t more people his supporters?

As far as I’m concerned, the only reason to care about some white American claiming to actually be a white person from some European country is for the entertainment value. And Alec Baldwin’s unhinged rants (what else is new?) notwithstanding, Hilaria has a long way to go before she can match the gold standard of Liz…

This isn’t code switching, this is lying.

Well, no. Vacationing in Mallorca with your rich American family does not make a Massachusetts prep school graduate named Hillary into someone who would say “How do you sayee in eengleesh ‘coocumber?’” It’s not like visiting your relatives in Georgia and coming back saying “ya’ll” for a week.

Baldwin says she went by “Hilary” in the U.S. and “Hilaria” in Spain because “neither name sounded good in the other language.”

That whole Elle article was just a list of red flags and him priming her to accept being manipulated by him.

Pretty sure this is one of those relationships that happen when you romanticize the joker and harley quinn.

Funny thing is, my initial response was “oh yeah, it’s McConnell and Klansman, so what? Oh wait, it’s actually a dr!” 

This entire thing is a perfect illustration of what, exactly, it means to be conservative nowadays, which is to have basically no consistent principles except deliberately provoking and demeaning people (and tax cuts for the rich, I guess). That is it.

And that Dr. Martin Luther King sure was nervy, huh?

We have The Office on almost all the time. We’ve seen it so many times, it’s now just pleasant background noise to keep us calm.

The process of removal is long and painful.
