This.

And yet in theory, Republicans believe in governmental power being decentralized. Of course, they used to believe in the government staying out of people's personal lives.

Women will not stop getting abortions because it’s harder.It’s just going to be some combination of more dangerous, more expensive and will take more effort.

I guess they’re supposed to get pregnant and count on child support.

“Waft over” economics. You still don’t get the money, but you can smell it if the wind is blowing in the right direction.

So the cheerleaders, who are also professional athletes, are supposed to make ends meet via ... what, exactly? Fucking the team and hopefully getting a few bills shoved their way in return? How nice and open-minded of these conservative fucksticks to show their support for prostitution.

This is why whenever I need to get some food, I just go to the supermarket and hang out by the checkout. I get to be in close proximity to people who have food, which is the same as having it, yourself.

Hell, it’s not even trickle down economics anymore. Apparently, you’re supposed to just be happy to be in the physical vicinity of that kind of money.

There is no way on god’s earth that Madonna works out to the extent she does without some serious salt-replenishment. It’s not biologically possible for human beings, no matter their age or how good they look. I don’t know who in this unholy trinity of mother-son-and-media is lying about that shit, but somebody is.

Thank you. Madonna is in no way protecting her children from the media. She exploits them every day. She tries to have them appear in her live shows, which was one of the things Rocco rebelled against. She posts a constant stream of selfies in which they appear, and in each one it’s about what SHE looks like, not…

She’s gotten in hot water a couple times over instagramming pictures of Rocco - showing him with booze, referring to him as the n-word - which is hardly protecting her kids from media commentary on their lives.

Everyone I know who was raised with an extremely restricted diet has an unhealthy and obsessive relationship with food. Nothing wrong with moderation.

I thought so too. She’s basically saying “I’ve accomplished so much professionally and this kid wants me to parent him too?!”

It’s interesting that Madonna describes Rocco’s attitude towards her career as him not being “satisfied” (as opposed to him not being, say, impressed). Like, do kids that age generally have strong attitudes of satisfaction or dissatisfaction towards their parents’ careers and accomplishments? I feel like the phrasing…

The iPhone is one thing, but the crazy diet really isn’t good. For one there’s so many cases where that sort of intense food control turns out to be really mentally unhealthy. For another, banning all fun/unhealthy food isn’t actually teaching your kids about moderation and making good choices.

Sounds Crawford-esque to me.

If only there was a middle way?

Isn't there some sort of halfway point? Not sexy, but... Reasonable?

Sweets and chocolate are outlawed, along with dairy products, salt and preservatives

It's good to raise kids with rules and boundaries... but she sounds like a fascist dictator with her kids. Too many rules can be just as bad as none. Teenagers end up snapping after a certain point. I hope they both get to live with their dad and have what's left of their childhood be normal.
