While I’m not an enthusiastic fan, I’ll admit: Hillary was most definitely robbed. That said: she’s a pre-45 candidate when people are thirsting for a post-45 one who will serve as an antidote. It’s not enough to just get a centrist in office. A lot of people are looking for progressive change, and a proper draining…

Wow. Dad sounds like a narcissist, big time. The rest sound like a delightful (/s) assortment of disturbed/spoiled/tightly-wound personalities.

This will need a lot more popcorn.

As satisfying as those scenarios might be, him dying while in office would make him a martyr... and his cult might never die, as a result.

Narcissists are like garish-looking vases. Overcompensating on the outside, empty on the inside. A narcissist is what happens when a person doesn’t learn to self-validate. They are deeply, deeply insecure, and need the approval of others. So it’s an elaborate mess taken to what might possibly be a delusional level. He…

My people don’t really do baby showers. Not a whole lot of money for it. If someone’s going to have a baby, friends and family will meet up for tea/coffee and to hand off trash bags full of clothing their kid has grown out of, and other hand-me-down baby stuff, etc. My SIL owns an ever loaned-out collection of knit…

Feel free to post some of the highlights. I don’t have the energy to go full immersion into their alternate reality right now, but I welcome some select amusements from those with more fortitude than myself. 👍

Well fuck, I’ll put popcorn on the grocery list, then. Please respond back to your post with the tea, when you can. The world is bleak, so we need all of the entertainment we can get.😏

I don’t remember the exact scent, but it’s built on a strong base of the classic baby powder scent, because it evokes the “innocence” of babies... apparently a desirable quality for the infantilized young adult woman of the 1970s. I remember loving the smell of baby powder when I was a tween/teen, but the idea of…

Estate sales, maybe... some granny’s unfinished stash tucked in some cupboard or closet or shoe box, somewhere.

Ah, but have you tried Kerr’s molasses kisses? It’s a Canadian Hallowe’en tradition that these ass-taffies be left for dead last, in the pillow case. Blech.🤮

This deserves so many more stars.

Is it really physical safety concerns? I thought it was the possibility of Trump spilling dirt which could incriminate his father-in-law in something, if he testified.

Ivanka seems to have escaped the Trump chinneck slightly... but she had a doctor’s help. I don’t think there’s much to fix those dopey eyes and “half-melted wax figure” features, though.

He also styles his hair like his father’s, although he’s clearly now using the volume tricks of his mother, to cover for the fact that he has so few hairs (they’re just extra long and strategically wrapped around his thick head to hide the bald spots).

DJ: “the package said it’d make me look like Ben Affleck!”

Which reminds me of this (which in turn is why baby powder-scented anything in women’s products grosses me right the fuck out):

That’s a lot of faith put into scientists’ ability to genetically modify crops to compensate for our own negligence. Also, higher temperatures’ direct effects on crops aren’t the only thing those crops would be facing. It’s the domino effect of changes to everything else which will affect agriculture which must be…

Climate change is going to have a widespread impact on agriculture, if we don’t do something about it. Not just coffee. Like, what about spice production? How are rising average temperatures going to impact the availability of spices? I expect there’d be a lot of negative impact. I haven’t seen any scientific articles…

I’m glad he got something, but that’s definitely not enough. He should’ve gotten life in prison. I’m also pissed that the others who covered it up got off. If people face harsher punishment for being cop killers, there should be harsher punishments on cops who murder. They’re employed in a position of public trust,…
