All joking aside, because you’re right, it’s easy to laugh at this woman, she’s really dangerous. This is the picture of empowered woman that Republican women want to see—where “independent thinking” is an excuse for uninformed laziness and “independent woman” is an excuse for a total lack of compassion for other…

Also, maybe don’t rely on teachers to be sympathetic to you as parents. If we’re doing any measure of in-person teaching, we are already shouldering the huge emotional burden of caring for our students’ socioemotional wellbeing during a pandemic, managing our emotions since we’re placed in dangerous classrooms in an…

Realistically, Trump didn’t have jack shit to do with the Rose Garden remodel and Melania was bare minimally involved. 

I can absolutely respect saving money with these lights because I, too, have compared the prices at the Home Depot and you cannot beat them if you’re on a budget. (We were trying to replace our nipple lights but decided to leave them because of $$). So, no shame to you. But this is the WHITE HOUSE.

I agree with this. Claudia’s social media presence is a spit in the ocean of the embarrassment that Kellyanne causes herself and her family on a regular basis. No way did the tweets tip the scales. Either she was fired or, maybe more likely?, this was a very opportune time to walk away (if she suspects Trump won’t win…

Yes, but I don’t think there are steps from the portico. I could be wrong. 

Venting is one thing, but I’m talking about something entirely different with the AOC issue. 

I’m on board with the snark but don’t downplay the importance of accessibility to places of significance, like the Rose Garden. This one thing is a good improvement. In addition to tours, should they ever resume, this gives access to reporters who require accessible paths.

Also, removing the trees opens the eye up to the ugliness outside the Rose Garden and it makes the colonnade look awkward. The fan windows looked much better peeking out over the tops of the trees. The nipple lights are a travesty. The proportions (hedges vs. flowers, landscape vs. building, bushes vs. trees) are…

Its accessibility is definitely an improvement, but that could have been accomplished without removing the trees and bushes. 

Yes, and gates often change, so even if you are able to map out where you’re going ahead of time it may cause more confusion in the long run. 

Yes, it’s a good point, but I was holding back on going there because she’s 15. Even if she’s “in” on it, that’s really young and has more to do with fucked up parenting than her own intrinsic character flaws. And even if she’s totally sincere, she has a lot of learning to do. As I said on another thread, begging AOC…

This “adopt me” tweet reminds me soooo much of the dynamic between Kerry Washington’s character and Reese Witherspoon’s daughters in Little Fires Everywhere. I am uncomfortable!

I think her parents are 100% fine with her doing this because it makes them looks bad and it gets the whole family attention. Kellyanne and George have raised their own profiles significantly through the political-disagreement-family-drama circus. I applaud this teen for speaking out for what it right, but it also…

Yes, many of these “treatment centers” exist precisely so that parents do not need to “deal with” their kids’ trauma (in my experience, trauma that they have either afflicted on their child or turned a blind eye to). Through sheer luck, I worked in a program that insisted parents and families work closely with…

Wow, the Wikipedia page for the Provo Canyon School is pretty horrifying:

Just don’t use pseudo-humility to dish for compliments.

Sure, it’s your body your choice if you are going to strictly quarantine for 14 days after the party. Otherwise, you’re all public health risks.
