i agree! and Vanity Fair’s level of writing, chock-full of adjectives though it may be, is just SO much higher than Us/People/etc. it’s a fluff piece, for sure, but it’s written well and the word “hubby” is almost guaranteed to not show up

they do the same thing for the profiles of random European wealthy people - but for those it somehow works? maybe because they’re not celebrities? i don’t know. and there’s almost always one or two very well-written long investigative journalism pieces in each issue, so i don’t know why the cover stories of…

you’re correct, it was indeed. it was also a video intended to explain his mannerisms/quirks and why Barron should not be bullied for them.

the pretense of the granddaughter was pretty good, i’ll give her that!

i agree but i think it’s both - he’s not intellectually curious or book smart, but was always able to form coherent, intelligible thoughts to mask his bullshit via proper sentence structure.

not a chance. he will not ever publicly acknowledge that he’s anything other than perfectly healthy, and the GOP would literally lock him away in the East Wing and have Pence do the public appearances before allowing any evidence that he may have been unfit at any point. this is also man who threatened to sue a random…

i never really got behind his message in the primaries because it seemed, to me, like he had a solid vision of a good future country ($15/hr minimum wage, single payer healthcare, increased funding for education, etc) but no real plan for getting us from A to B. and it also seemed, again, to me, like he would get…

i think you’ve neglected the indisputable FACT that she didn’t REALLY believe in those ideas and therefore definitely would have done absolutely nothing to make them real once in office and also would have taken the country to (more) war and her voice just really hurts my ears, okay, it’s not because she’s a woman,…

to this day it still baffles me when a Bernie supporter says that his ideas from the campaign influenced the Democrat platform and made Hillary move left on issues

a friend of a friend is a nurse at one of the local hospitals and she said the little notes are always genuinely memorable and very much appreciated

Democrats also need to remember that Republicans and conservative voters are literally being fed a different set of facts by Fox News. they genuinely believe that the ACA was drafted and passed in exactly the same way and therefore the Democrats are whining when really they did it first

there was a great piece in the Washington Post (i think) in the last couple months about Idaho and how their Republican state legislature fucked over the entire state because they didn’t want to successfully implement a program initiated by 1) Democrats and 2) the federal government

ALL OF THIS. the Democrats have been shut out of the legislative process entirely - and they are making sure that is a widely known fact - so, since their schedules have been freed up for the next two years, lets see some all-hands-on-deck meetings to come up with the unified messaging strategy for the 2018 elections.

because i’m a cynical asshole who immediately thinks the worst of people like this, i think he has two motives

goddammit you have reminded me that there are TWO SEPARATE GUM COMMERCIALS that make me tear up every time

the fucking GUM commercial with the couple that draws the goddamn stick figures on the gum wrappers makes me cry. and then i am disgusted with myself because it’s a FUCKING GUM COMMERCIAL WHY AM I CRYING

i absolutely lose it at the end during the final shot where she’s walking up the stairs and everyone is applauding and then Jack turns around and smiles at her

yeah i used to be on Vyvanse but i switched!

this is honestly one of the biggest problems i have

i agree with you when it comes to the GOP being the only ones standing between him and the door - but his true believers (including those who maybe don’t like the man, but are passionate about the message, i.e. those loons who had the militia rally thing in Boston like a month ago) are genuinely true believers in that…
