Ah, Phyllis Schlafly. The woman who went on a talk show to say she’d figured out a way to stop rape and sexual harassment, and her solution turned out to be small pin-on buttons that read “Lady” - you wear one and then men know you are a lady and they won’t bother you.

Kind of amazed that Trump, even with his usual random capitalization and with the comma in the wrong place in the number he cited (or did he mean to type 100,000?), still managed to spell “supersede” correctly. Maybe spell check helped...although I’d be surprised if he could even spell it well enough for spell check…

I think a whole lot more than 10 of those women would feel creeped out. A guy I just met grabs me by the back of the head and pulls my head forward until our foreheads are touching? Oh hell to the no. I would be really, really uncomfortable with that.

Oh, Mitch, you’re finally, bravely doing something to fight the undemocratic obstruction of judicial nominees!

My grandpa is in his nineties and is constantly giving money to “charities” that cold-call him, saying they help veterans. (He is a veteran.) He’s failing mentally and just doesn’t understand the people calling him are scammers. My dad is working on options right now to keep him from just signing all his savings away.

He’s kind of an asshole, but I try to remind myself he got famous really young, which tends to stunt your maturity, and it sounds like his parents weren’t exactly mother/father of the year, you know? So it’s no wonder he’s messed up. I’m glad he’s working on his issues and I hope he can come through them and lead a…

As someone who’s battled both mental health and addiction issues, I have been rooting for Britney Spears for a long time. She seems like a sweet girl who’s finally building a happy life for herself on her terms and mostly out of the spotlight. Glad she’s taking time for rest and self-care.

None of his family members had the slightest thought that he would actually win the election. I don’t think Trump expected (or wanted) to win it either. The campaign was all just for the ego boost and the brand boost. Trump was already setting up a “Trump TV” channel where, presumably, after losing the election he…

Yes. Trump’s always been an asshole, but nowadays he is reminding me of my grandpa at the same age - forgetting things or getting them wrong, being called on it, and then going on the attack or trying to obfuscate.

“Everleigh” is a silly name, I agree, but I actually like “Carl” for a dog, especially this dog; the juxtaposition of such a serious name with this little puffball puppy is funny.

Maybe she keeps him talking at dinner in the hopes that he’ll get sleepy and not want sex that night! Although frankly, if the choice was between four hours of listening to Trump bloviate vs. five minutes of sex (you *know* Trump ain’t putting in the foreplay time; he’s one of those guys who thinks he’s a Real Man and…

The early King novels, mostly, are SO good. Not just scary and gripping, but with great characterization, insight, and heart. But most of what he’s published in the latter part of his career has been messy and even self-indulgent.

I read “Pet Sematary” as a teenager, when it first came out. Some of the parts about Gage’s death are so heartbreaking that they’ve stayed with me all these years while the rest of the book (including the supernatural aspects) has mostly faded (Louis barely missing in his grab for Gage’s jacket, that flash - maybe -…

Yeah, seems like if her parents had wanted to keep all this secret from her (as apparently some of the parents did), they wouldn’t have cc’d her in on the damning emails. So it seems likely, especially given that she posed for the rowing pic, that she knew there was some chicanery going on.

I totally agree his character was losing it already (and I actually like his performance here - the Shatnerness works well for the character and situation), but watch his face: it changes expression suddenly and dramatically, from dread to astonishment, before (as far as I can tell) he can actually see out of the…

I never noticed before seeing this gif that Shatner reacts - eyes wide, jaw dropping - before he actually sees the monster. It’s like “Oh my GOD, I’m opening a WINDOW SHADE! And also, hey, there’s a monster out there.”

I do too. I think Trump has some major personality disorder/mental illness that makes him the way he is. Since he was born into wealth and power, he’s always been able to have his way, so he’s never had to address it (and he’s dumb as a bag of hammers, which doesn’t lend itself to deep introspection). I despise him -…

Yes. The doc said he’s still overweight and his blood pressure needs to be controlled better, but otherwise he got a clean bill of health. I don’t think the doc addressed his mental health this time around, though.

Reminds me of the joke where the 90-year-old man goes to confession and says to the priest, “I’m dating a gorgeous 25-year-old woman, and we’re having amazing sex two and three times a day!” “Well, my son,” says the priest, “premarital sex is a sin. You’ll need to say ten Hail Marys.” “But I’m Jewish!” says the old…
