Now if they’d do Buckaroo Banzai everything would be complete.

...and it’s still only my second-favorite John Carpenter movie.

No. This is awesome content. The kind we used to have where we learn about things we might like but otherwise would not know about.

You’re welcome.

I have never been to a protest before. I’ve written things for protests, I’ve talked about going, but I’ve never actually gone. My wife recently went to the Women’s March. I chose not to go to that also...because I’m a coward, because I was afraid of what might happen, and because I was still clinging to some vague…

Sexy Jack approves.

You do understand that the America of that era was embroiled in it’s own identity crisis, that Adolf Hitler plagiarized the publications of Henry Ford in his own book Mein Kampf. You do understand that the beliefs of Nazis and Neo Nazis are fundamentally evil and any who embrace those believe are embracing that evil.

Truman? What was wrong with Truman? I thought we liked him for saving Europe but I don’t know what he did domestically.

I bet her prenup has an iron clad NDA

I can’t hate her either. She signed up to be a trophy wife. Not my deal, but whatever. She signed up to go to events, look pretty, wear couture, and smile a lot. She did not sign up to be a political wife, which is a whole other ball game altogether.

Depending on the prenup, she would either end up with Barron to support and no money, or Barron would be left with his dad, who it sounds like is abusive towards him. It’s not saying she’s a child needing rescue to recognize that, like countless mothers before her, it appears she’s chosen a path that is pretty shitty…

My assumption is that they had an understanding when they got married. Being FLOTUS was not part of that understanding.

I think she has agency. I also think she signed a prenup back in the day, and it is restricting her choice of exit, unless she wants to leave penniless and possibly also without Barron. Before Trump decided to run for president, and won, she was biding her time, waiting for him to get tired of her aging, and move on…

Donald is just a truly shitty husband. Exhibit H: He doesn’t even wait for Melania to exit the vehicle so he can walk with her/escort her up the stairs. Like school on Saturday— NO CLASS.

Not MUCH? That is being kind. From what I have observed, the chemistry between them is not just absent but actually seems ice cold. Have you seen how he kisses her? It’s practically an air kiss. I don’t think they like each other at all, and I’m not just saying that because of my feelings about Trump. I’d call it if I…

Seeing both couples so much in the past few days has driven something home: There is much joy in the Obamas; there is very little in the Trumps.

There’s more sparkle between the Carters than between those two.

You can see the sparks between the Obamas. There really doesn’t seem to be much between the Trumps.
