Good point. But I think that was seen as acceptable to people at the time. Nobody, other than Trump and MAYBE Uday and Qusay,  thinks his hair looks good. In fact, I am not at all surprised that Melania isn’t fulfilling her duties as First Lady since she has failed in her wife duties by allowing her husband to step…

Exactly. And we are seeing that what one president can do with the stroke of a pen, the next can undo. I absolutely think that we are going to see some very extreme SCOTUS appointments going forward (even more extreme than Gorsuch) because there is no longer any check on that.

I agree. The refusal to even meet with Garland was disgusting. They flat out stole that seat and they should be ashamed (they clearly are not). And I agree that the two situations are very different but we are still in the same place, aren’t we? The Senate is supposed to be where you find the professionals, the…

I absolutely agree. The Democrats were in an impossible position through no fault of their own. I don’t know what the answer would have been but I do know that in the long run this will hurt our party and our country. I was furious over the obstruction Obama faced but I wonder if we had been as good as the GOP about…

Ew. When did he do that? He’s so gross and his face is so stupid. Everything about the man is loathsome. Did you ever think we would have a president with such ridiculous hair?

I’m going to demonstrate how a person should act when their political party does something you don’t support and it stands in contrast to GOP voters, most specifically Trump voters:

Why are these idiots so fucking obsessed with cuckoldery? It’s so damn weird.

It’s so bad...the various makeup, lighting and soft focus lense choices make it look like she doesn’t have a nose.

The make-up, lighting and soft focus lense makes it look like she doesn’t have a nose.

The laser background thing!! I totally forgot about that.

I agree that the bigger issue is with writing as opposed to speaking. So many of us were taught not to overuse “they” because a sentence could become unclear...too many theys and you aren’t sure who is doing what to whom. But the his/her thing is annoying too. There is no perfect solution I guess.

I think in speech it’s not that strange and one could easily get used to it but reading it is where my brain is saying “What?” But I’ll adapt.

Agree. It’s especially confusing when you are reading something as opposed to speaking.

Yes! Nobody attacks writers for having characters that say horrible shit in a movie. It is not assumed that writing a horrible character makes you a horrible person. With music, however, it is always assumed to be autobiographical.

Maybe someone could explain to me what the big deal is over the Susan Rice interview. I actually have had a conversation online in the comments section of The Hill and the guy I’m talking to completely mischaracterized what she actually said in the interview. He seems to think that she confessed to all sorts of…

I didn’t read the book but your description of the book Celeste reminds me of my mom. She’s an addict but essentially refuses to go to any sort of group meetings at all because she “just” has a pill problem. She isn’t, in her eyes, like those junkies who were criminals, who did immoral or illegal things get drugs, who…

Yeah, it would be a huge mistake to make another season. See: True Detectives.

I know! My heart dropped in that scene. Obviously the nanny being there saved her life.

Yup. I want to smack the pearls out of their tightly clutched fists (or wherever body part they are using to clutch pearls) every single time they mention how appalled they are that the Dems would try to block a SCOTUS appointment. This issue gets me so fucking heated. They blocked Obama appointments of all sorts…

The whole bit the Republicans are doing over the Supreme Court is so ridiculous. They are *shocked* that the Dems would ever think to block a SCOTUS appointment. It’s unprecedented, they claim, for one party to try to keep a president from getting his nominee appointed. Gorsuch, they say, is eminently qualified and…
