I take it as a nice opportunity for tea lovers to congregate. 

Of course! We had a neighbor come by very shaken up because their house had been robbed. Mom’s solution - tea! So many fond memories :)

Absolutely true! My mother’s first response when she picked me up after I was in a car accident was to get me tea. STAT. Then we went to the ER.

It’s depressing but I like it. He’s like Maxwell Smart...but without the redeeming sense of patriotism.

That is a really good point. No one asked WHY the Russians thought Trump should run. At least the repeated shots to their own feet are slowing them down.

My parental unit was kind of pro-Trump until all of this stuff came out (pre-election). We at least live in a blue state so his vote was void. Now he really doesn’t like the collusion-y stuff but just can’t get over how BAD Trump & Co. are at covering this shit up.

Oh yes - usually off the registry too.

The tacky (or basic depending on your view) part is having BOTH. One or the other I kind of get. One culturally mandated present grab...fine. But two?!

That checks. 

I think the people that have bridal showers and engagement parties are probably the people who have gender reveals and baby showers. Gift grabs.

Yes. I consider it a tacky way to ask for gifts twice. I’m not crazy about baby showers to begin with and gender reveal parties just amplify all those feelings.

I’m hoping that Leslie will be able to nail him down. Or at least show how very confused and out of touch he is. Start painting the dementia picture Leslie!!

Welp that just about explains 2016 in a nutshell! Off for more wine now...be back when things are normal again.

I second the sentiment - I feel like we need to make quisling a more popular term again though. It fits so well.

I haven’t felt stomach queasily disgusted until I heard that clip on my morning drive this morning. Wine with lunch is my short term fix.

He really is just the most adorable misanthrope. 

I’m kind of rooting for those girls to become radical liberals and spend their adult lives shaming their douche father/relatives. Or change the last name and live their lives in the obscurity they would need to become fully functioning people. Either or is a splendid option.

That is a very good comparison. Makes a ton of sense to me. A silver spoon and going to the right school can smooth over a lot of issues with alcohol that would sink a normal plebe.

Exactly! 3-4 glasses of a wine on an empty stomach are at least producing fuzzy memories.

Absolutely! I think she has zero effs to give in private but has to remain neutral in public.
