I can understand why. I am old, but that is a new one on me. It borders on sadistic.

Front of house is nothing kinky. It’s just what it sounds like - a receptionist, front desk clerk, hostess - as opposed to someone behind the scenes.

Seconded on the Casamigos thing. I thought he came from a wealthy family (part of her motivation for marrying him) and did something more mundane like investment banking.

Yikes! That knee grabbing thing is so creepy!

But making money off of your last name is the American way.

I can see someone with money buying one just for bragging rights, but they’d have to be pretty dumb to think it would somehow buy them influence with the WH. Does anyone really think Joe would say “Gee, this guy spent half a mil on my son’s painting, I guess I should give him something in return”? Doubtful in my…

I wouldn’t buy it but it’s interesting. I just paid a visit to the Minneapolis Institute of Art for the first time in about four or five years. They have a pretty notable collection of modern art and this would not have looked out of place there. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I doubt her idiot critics have considered the possibility that Biles, feeling that she was not able to give her best performance and might hurt her teammates’ chances for medals, made a mature and carefully considered decision to step aside and give teammates like Suni Lee their chance to shine. It’s always easier…

It reinforces the belief that anything less than gold doesn’t really count. Think about it, do you hear about “Three time bronze medal winner Jane Doe”? Sadly, gold is what matters. Silver and bronze won’t get your face on a box of Wheaties or endorsement deals.

More and more I think we won’t.

I agree, but keep in mind he’s often reading what’s put in front of him. I have the Today show on every morning. In the weeks leading up to the games the women’s gymnastic team was interviewed several times by their superfan Hoda Kotb, who called Biles the “OG” and repeatedly emphasized their prospects for the gold…

Or hold a Sharpie, as the case may be. 

Just wait for the Pitt/Aniston reunion. The internet will implode. 

My thoughts exactly. I’ve heard it said that JG put up with him as long as she did because he is the love of her life. If true it must hurt to witness Bennifer 2.0. 

“The FBI is the nicer face of patriarchal white “American” racism, because they’re professional about it.”

The Apprentice may have raised his profile nationally in a positive way in the early 2000s, but I am from the NY metro area and he has always been viewed largely as a joke there, to put it mildly.

An affable, nice businessman? Are we talking about the same Donald Trump? The one who routinely cheated vendors and tradespeople who worked on his properties? And then bankrupted some of those properties? Who very publicly cheated on wife number one with wife number two? This all happened in the twenty years prior to…

“...the only reason she isn’t working at a Hobby Lobby is because of Britney. She owes her whole life to her sister.”

My thoughts exactly. 

She’s addicted to the online adoration that may be a thing of the past.
