Don’t assume all family relationships are the same as yours. Many people are just not all that close to the parents of their partner, for a variety of reasons. Sometimes that can be improved, and sometimes neither side is really interested in doing so. Family means different things to different people.

Yes, get some clear fishing line and one of the 3M non-marking removable wall hooks. Tie the fishing line to the tree and attach to hook on the wall. My family learned the hard way one Christmas when we heard a crash early one morning.

“Upon seeing this he immediately dropped to his knees, seemingly in fear of being severed in two by the powerful beams.”

There’s plenty of “I hate Trump, but he’s good for the economy”.

It’s not just the NY swells who are throwing caution to the wind re COVID weddings. For reasons I’ll never understand my urban neighborhood is a magnet for wedding party photoshoots. I see traditional wedding parties every weekend, and rarely are they wearing masks or social distancing. 

I’ve said it numerous times here, but I’m convinced Trump’s falling out with Epstein was over Ivanka. Something along the lines of, “It’s OK for me to fantasize about fucking my daughter but don’t you even look at her crosseyed.” Or possibly something much worse. 

“But I’m definitely architecting things that you don’t know about!”

Taxes. It’s all about the taxes. The GOP is the party of “I’ve got mine, screw everyone else”.

And none of it matters if you don’t wear sunscreen every day.

But it’s not just the racist, ignorant white people. It’s the millions of so-called “shy” Trumpers. I was disheartened to learn of family and friends - educated, affluent and otherwise sane - who held their noses and voted for him strictly for financial reasons. I find that unconscionable.

“Make America Great Like We Imagine It Was, But Not Like It Actually Was”

I believe no one was more surprised than he was on election night in 2016, yet the damage caused by his vanity campaign will be felt for years to come. Welcome to the idiocracy.

I’d like to make him a special cocktail. A nice hemlock cocktail. 

I wondered on Wednesday morning after he’d been hunkered down in the WH for a week if he’d be a no show for that. Honestly, I think it would have been better if he did skip it given his comments about the military. I’m sure he was like a recalcitrant four year old, but his inner circle probably told him he had to go…

I think we’re all losing our minds at this point :)

I know he is 77 right now. Your original words:

Don’t give Bravo any ideas. 

Agreed. I think getting through one term will be enough of a challenge for Biden. So if he steps aside, Harris becomes the Dem candidate, and Trump decides to run again, we could have a Harris/Trump debate. That would be one for the ages. But I hope Trump is jail in 2024. BTW, Biden is 77 going on 78.

Please tell me that was a joke. 

Nah, by then she was just a shriveled up post-menopausal harpy.
