“It can be hard to put your finger on exactly what you fear most about the rise of Donald Trump: the racism? The sexism? The xenophobia? The profoundly dangerous lack of judgment?”

I would say pretty likely if you look at other Western countries that have seen women leaders get into the top job in their respective countries.

The Democrats just lost an election where their incumbent, Obama, had the highest approval rating on Election Day of anyone since Reagan in 1988. They don’t get it, and never will. They’d rather attempt to have their cake and eat it, too, by keeping their process within their closed ranks than actually give themselves…

I’m devastated, too. But, I think your comment (which reflects an attitude towards Trump supporters we both shared) is the problem.

Sorry, but they just elected the human equivalent of TL;DR.

A million stars to this comment. Also anytime I hear West Town I am  reminded how Cabrini was rebranded as East Village.

That’s LESS than 1/8 of the city, more like 1/25th. We have over 70 neighborhoods. The south side itself is larger than the north side. It’s a shame but the entire image of Chicago is created and dominated by hip, young white people from the north side. They are the ones who get their articles and books published,…

Is that all there is to this city: wearing overpriced down coats and drinking independently-produced growlers and trying to have sex all the time?

What that lady in the photo is wearing is almost exactly what I wear to the beach, except my outfit is called “swim tights” and “rash guard,” not “burkini.” And I don a floppy hat instead of the hair wrap. Why? Because I have very fair skin that fries in the sun. I tend to cover up entirely if I’m spending any real…

Yeah...... I feel like this is really not ok. Maybe planting a yard sign or something, but *armed* protestors? Adding guns to any emotionally charged gathering is a recipe for disaster. I just hope that he slinks off with his tail between his legs and no one gets shot.

Commas are your friends.

Headline does not mention whether or not love is dead. I'm now not sure how to feel.

“She also hauled in $7.2 million in album sales, probably with no small amount of help from Ryan Adams”

Good for her. She put in all the work that could be expected of her and was paid according to standards which were set. It’s silly to expect her to try to make less, or for anyone to be jealous. HORRAY it was a woman and not some old white dude. I hope that next year it's another woman who does the exact same level of…

I’m sorry, do we really think Ryan Adams’ cover album, which has sold nothing next to Taylor’s actual album, contributed significantly enough to her revenue to be named here?

It will be. There are people literally growing up on Taylor Swift’s music.

This is why Americans can’t have nice things. Parenthood here sucks in general because we don’t have maternity leave, we don’t have welfare, we live to work and not work to live. Instead of complaining because the upper class complains, why don’t we try complaining together against politicians and our employers? Also,…

For as much as Blue Ivy’s dress must have cost I am INFURIATED that the pattern does not line up better than that.

Julie Costello would never have put up with that shit.
