No shit!!!!

The New Yorker had an interesting article about her a month ago, worth a read. My take away is that she has some serious daddy issues and needs to do this to have any kind of relationship with him. Kind of sad: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/…

I laughed out loud at my desk.

Slow clap. This was really well articulated.

I agree, the left has done a terrible job of selling their policies to poor rural white people. I too grew up in a rural area, and I think that there is a lot of genuine suffering that happens by rural poor. They get mocked by a lot of liberals who don’t understand the issues as well as I think they should. And they…

Yeah, I thought that my Facebook feed was cleaned up but damn it, some people I am “friends” with started posting proud “deplorables” memes.

You may be onto something...

Excellent. I love it when a plan starts to come together.

Yeah, I only allow people who post things that bring me joy...or at least don’t fill me with blind rage.

Faux feminists are the worst.

No joke. My husband changed many diapers, and took 2.5 months of paternity leave (he’s a school teacher and was able to use 10 years of sick leave so it was fully paid). I mean I appreciate it just like he appreciates what I do but to me that is the expectation. Why would I ever want to marry someone who doesn’t treat…

It’s true! And I am surprised by some of the women who are kind of proud that they do everything. I was trying to make friends with other moms, and invited a woman with two kids out to see a movie with me. She said no because her husband wasn’t good with the kids and so she couldn’t leave them. She said this with…

I can never unsee this...

That sucks. It does sound like you are with a winner though, that he is busting his ass to at least get 2 weeks.

This.

I know! Way to fuck things up by overreach. Ugh. I live in Western Washington, I could be in Canada now...

That seems like a viable option...

True story.

Eastern WA would probably be iffy as well...
