Alternatively, it takes a special kind of cynicism to milk personal trauma for fame, attention, and ratings.

Now she can walk around the White House trying on Michelle’s discarded gowns and high-heels, whispering the theme song to Miss Universe and writing down names on her little moleskin notebook.
I was briefly in love with UB for a time. Some of those episodes made me cry. There’s this infamous episode, I think it’s in a hooters, and the boss gives one of the hooters chicks money for a boob job. Like he explicitly says “here’s some money to get your boobs done” or something. It was awful.
I had a German teacher in elementary school who basically did the same thing. Made their way to the US via South America or something. I remember asking my dad when I was little what he would do if I got kicked out of school for being Jewish (expecting the answer to be like “I’d go have a word with the principal!” or…
And yet I’d bet cash money that Ms. Hammer & Sickle there is on facebook right now calling everyone “crybaby libtards” for being worried about Trump’s Putin connections.
Totally agree. What, another bunch of visitors/veterans/diplomats/children/citizens to meet and greet with no prospect of personal profit? Another meeting to discuss bogged down policy? Fifty thousand papers to be signed, most of them on the public record?
It’s all making sense now. The term “jumped the shark” was born from the episode where Fonzi was water skiing (in his leather jacket) and came across a shark in the water, and literally had to jump the shark. In 2016, American democracy as we know it actually jumped the shark. So obviously, Chaci.
My immediate thought was of Franz Ferdinand.
My family is Republican and voted for Trump (they live in a blue state thankfully). They have literally no clue who he picked for any of his cabinet posts, are generally unaware of all of his Twitter tirades, and are also unaware of the CIA report re Russian hacking. They’ve basically put their heads in the sand…
They are lining up to watch the government be dismantled from within. None of those pesky environmental regulations that stop us from getting rich on oil and coal. And by being rich, they’ll be able to afford a black market lung when the current one gives out because of the crap in the air.
Ugh, fancy-ass dishes. I recently cleaned out my childhood home after my mom’s death, and there were SO MANY fancy-ass dishes. They were wedding gifts 40 years ago, and most were stored in the attic the entire time. I kept two boxes, then donated most of them to the homeless shelter. I live in a tiny apartment and am…
My Mother-in-law got us a China set in a pattern I really like. Plus, the set was used and missing a plate or two so it was cheap. Smart of her and actually makes me more inclined to use it since I don’t feel guilty about her spending a bunch of cash!
My mom has 3 sets from her own wedding plus dead relatives. No way I’m getting any. This family has all the Lenox it needs tyvm.
I think I gave myself permanent “bitch face” from years of taking my daughter to daycare and pre-school on the bus.
I never actually erupted until years later, when she (like typical 14 years old girls) didn’t sit beside me on the bus. She wanted to sit at the back. Sure enough, here comes Skeezy Guy hitting on her. …
It never really goes away. My daughter is 21 and I still worry about her. You learn to hope for the best and have faith that they’ll be safe since there’s just no way to operate in a sane manner if you let the fears consume you. When you become a parent, you make yourself vulnerable. You live with that…
They see him as some kind of regular blue collar Joe like themselves. A guy in an ill fitting suit that they can hang out in their local dive bar and knock back a few PBRs with.
You did it right.
Yup. What amazes me is the conversation is still dominated by this man and talking about horrible he is, rather than the tens of millions of people who voted for him and have given him a mandate and legitimized his trollish behavior. We know how horrible he is - but his followers literally don’t give a shit what he…
When people tell me I look tired I want to fight. There’s a kid at my job who said I looked tired EVERY. SINGLE. TIME he saw me for a few weeks and finally I said “stop fucking feeling you have the right to comment on my appearance every time you see me.” He hasn’t done it since.
A man of his inflated ego surrounded by yes men and women will not quit, he will do the bare minimum and still fuck up everything he touches, he may die of stress from actually really working for the first time in his privileged life.
