Ivanka sees this as her chance to get her hands on the empire. She thinks she’s Cordelia to her Dad’s Lear but she’s actually a horrific Regan/Gonoril hybrid.

It’s like they’re worried about running out of things to make women feel insecure about (and spend lots of money to change).

For crissakes, another way to tell women we don’t measure up! Hell will freeze over before I change my kitty for some man. She’s beautiful just as she is.

No, you are wrong. “Doctorates,” and PhD-holders being called “doctor,” existed centuries before an MD degree and before we started calling medical professionals “doctor.”

The fact is, decades of vernacular drift have made it so people associate “doctor” with “physician.” Inside academia, it makes sense to call yourself a doctor if you have your Ph.D.. Outside, it just leads to confusion.

I hate those people. And I’m a self-employed person as well, so I understand the appeal/need of making your business look legit so its taken seriously. But just ... no.

It’s Mother’s Nature way of getting even and saying: “You screw me then I’ll screw your face!”.

Esquire is an accepted title for lawyers and a PhD is literally a doctoral degree. So I don’t see the problem with those.

I’m sorry, but the non-MDs have it right. “Doctor” comes from the Latin for “teacher” and was used by the university teachers for two centuries before the medical use. The Ph.D. is a “Doctor of philosophy” - that’s the D.

I assume it’s something more along the lines of “CEO’s have an important role in an organization, but are not worth 200x the average employees salary”.

We don’t need an ideal world, just a better one than what we have now. I imagine part of that involves restricting the pay of smarmy, gladhanding assholes who provide, what? Leadership, I guess.

He knows you exist, he simply wants you to suffer for it.

They’ve never run into people who truly care about America. They’re experiencing it first hand.

Kushner and Ivanka in particular bear the responsibility for this as they know 45 is either mentally unstable or has full on dementia.

Any time DT appears on my tv screen I yell, “Kill yourself!”

I am terrified at how hateful this political bullshit is making me.

If there is some strategy here I can buy the theory that the idea is to throw up obvious battles with the press so they will concentrate on that instead of things like...oh I don’t know, the whole Russian thing. Or the ICE thing. Or the being shot down by the courts on the Travel Ban executive order thing. Or the…

This is kinda where I’m at too. It’s just too much.

Noooope I feel the same. I’ve never been less willing to find common ground with people. May the flames of hell engulf them.

I am so tired of these people. All of them. I don’t have the energy for witty jokes or searching down funny gifs. I hate everyone of my fellow white people who voted for this piece of shit and his corrupt disgusting family. I dream of them all burning to death. I can’t even imagine how it must be for PoC to live with…
