I hope the results in November are the ultimate coverage of that false picture.

Ben Kinglsey for President!

I think the cut of the suit makes a big difference too. As a chunky woman, with a big middle, I know the power of a well-cut jacket with a good, cinching closure. The sort of columnar ones she wears a lot, that maybe hide kevlar well? Not the most shapely.

THIS FOREVER.

Yes! That scene still gets me. She gave Carrie so much depth that I suspect the “real” Carrie didn’t begin to possess.

Dave!

Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance is a good one.

I will stand and fight for the freedom of Nanaimo bars.

As an aside, is there any way I can get ungreyed? I’ve been around a long time here, at at Jez, and I’m a nice person! Honest!

Now with this 3rd time, and with having the baby in the photo (ick) and losing the connection to the Clintons via the divorce, you sort of start to wonder how he’s going to manage to keep a roof over his own head.

I was hoping to find this here.

It’s so cold, right? Like, he has no interest in the fact that, even if it were all untrue (and I’m not saying that at all), his daughter certainly believes it is and is very much damaged by it? It’s his DAUGHTER. If he’s completely innocent, shouldn’t he have some interest in her well-being and want to work with her…

Me too. Sadface.

Your Jem gif is the only thing that cheered me about this whole thing.

Oh totally fuck them. I’m in a suburb of one of the most racially segregated big cities in the US. My condo board is trying to build a fence around my neighborhood right now, to keep out “crime,” which is a dog whistle for the largely Mexican poorer suburb next door. I wonder where they got that idea? [ps. there is…

Serious question: how do you manage? My parents are also Breitbart (and Limbaugh and Glenn Beck) talking points come to life, and I find it increasingly difficult to deal. Like, we limit the conversation to pleasantries right now.

I get you. My family is in Indiana and it’s the same story. Instead of fracking, it’s manufacturing bottoming out and meth coming in. Add a generation or two of learned helplessness, and it a perfect storm for a Trump to come in and blame anyone who isn’t like you for your problems, then promise to fix it. Doesn’t…

Did you read Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance? You’ve hit the nail on the head, when you speak about rural whites. These are my people, and this whole Trump Train thing has really exposed to me how hopeless and angry they are. It’s ugly to be around and makes me pretty sad, but insights like yours and Vance’s honest work…

Hey hey former Hoosier. Samesies. Do you live far, far, away? It’s been so painful to see our home state turn into what it is now. I swear that, when I was growing up, it wasn’t this bad?

This is my favorite psychic story on this page.
