Yes! It’s what I refer to as the neo-puritan wave of sorta-biblical-sounding or just old-timely names. I started noticing that little kids had names like my great-grandparents (NewEnglanders) or characters from E.B. White stories. They end up with names that sound like Miracle tonic cures from 130 years ago! I gave up…

Haha, there are two male names I’ve so far had your Caleb experience with: Ari and Jason. I think the female name that has so far not trout well, ever, is Vanessa? Ok, I know there are awesome people with all 3 of those names, too! But there are name clusters, definitely! Also, my own name is popular enough so that I…

Which would totally make sense as Trump strikes me as being cheap, wanting to “finally get a good deal on a wife”, and totally being someone who could be fooled into buying an obviously knock-off ‘droid wife!

One hopes...

But yknow, I don’t think she dislikes her husband (though I’m sure she didn’t anticipate this interview and having to defend him), I think instead she is surprised that everyone else keeps getting so surprised by a kind of guy that frankly, isn’t so unusual in their social world. He’s an especially loathsome specimen,…

You summed up my still scrambled thoughts on this perfectly. I have been feeling sympathetic too but couldn’t put my finger on it, exactly . She certainly didn’t looked thrilled (not that she has many readable expressions) going down that escalator at Trump’s announcement, but like everyone else, she just figured he’d…

I’m truly glad things are getting better within your family — that says a lot for the rest of you (maybe there’s hope for the shit bird)!;-)

This, this, this! (I mean, I guess Putin already has, right?! He has appeared to have flattered and manipulated the hell out of Assange, Snowden and who knows who else ...) But, exactly, I totally want a leader who can be influenced by a prep school beta terrier!

I’ve been thinking the exact same thing since I saw this story late last night. I am horrified by her anti-gay and anti-Semitic rants, really hate the hate she’s spread, but her behavior does appear to be that of either an addict or someone who is mentally ill or both. It’s a shame, because I think she’s phenomenally…

Totally! At first I was all, “what the hell IS Melania being prescribed, I need that STAT, but then I realized there aren’t enough benzos and Botox to get to wherever she is ...”

As we’ve seen, she’ll read whatever is put before her.

So true, and it’s that bullying mentality that keeps less independent- thinking, or experienced people who might otherwise abandon Trump still with him.

Ack, I feel like an ass for assuming you were a woman, I’m sorry! We’ve all seen men gang up on other males who are too empathetic or are too independent in their thinking (I sometimes wonder if that isn’t the real upset to the bully’s?) so I feel for you. I’m sorry for the pain your brother is causing. It’s so tough…

I feel like there’s SO MUCH Billy could use, though $10 mil isn’t part of that!

Err, since your brother has a sister and daughters he is especially sensitive to just how much pain he’s inflicted?! Wtf? Yes, it’s a ridiculous argument. It further illustrates too just how men think they influence fucking everything: you had no control over whether you had a female sibling or child (usually), it’s…

I thought I was immune to his shit by now but I definitely had an almost puke-in-my-mouth moment reading that. Of course, by “discussions with my daughters” or whatever he said, I pictured slammed doors, hollering at him or the Silent Treatment, and general disgust directed his way.

delete.

That’s what I don’t get either: what were they expecting from her?!

Oh, I know!

Trump supporters are proud folk. Live comedy shows are confrontational and Amy Schumer often does crowd work, her Comedy Central show depicts that, her specials do, too, and stand-up is fundamentally confrontational. Why would anyone put their hand up and keep talking with her if they wanted to stay anonymous? It…
