Yeah, Jennifer Siebel is 100% that guy’s “human credential”: without her he’s just another boring cis, white, political wonk with sleazeball hair. (And I say that as CA voter who’s frankly pretty likely to vote for him for governor).

I’m fascinated by people who support behavior and ideology that they are against. It would be like finding out your local donut shop is owned by a casual racist. “I know he says Black Lives Matter is bullshit and Colin Kaepernick is a traitor who should go back to Africa, but damn he makes the best apple fritters...”

The idea that Trump supporters were motivated by economics is false. First, Trump supporters are wealthier on average than Americans in general. Second, voters who ranked the economy as their number one concern mostly voted for Clinton (by a narrow margin, but still).

“our country needed a huge change and it wouldn’t happen if Hillary was elected or something to that effect.”

Probably she chugs appletinis while he eats the whole basket of mozzarella sticks

From figurative to literal, Fox News is completely in bed with the Trumps.

She is a social climber. Gavin got her into all the right parties in CA. I don’t think she gives a damn about politics one way or another - she’ll say whatever the teleprompter says as long as it gets her more money.

“Of my sister I can only say one thing: I have no sister.”

She seems like his type: Dead eyes, cosmetic surgery, ice where a human heart should be.

Guilfoyle makes sure to get herself romantically linked to every newly-single male in the Trump universe. Wonder how the Mooch feels about this.

Elections have consequences. Now the judiciary and that stolen Supreme Court seat will shape laws for a generation. A very big “fuck you” to all the people that sat out or protest voted against Hillary. And a bigger “fuck you” to everyone that wanted to give Trump a shot because they wanted someone “different” to “mix

Which is bad.

The frogurt is also cursed.

I am too conflicted. Blankenship lost the primary, which is good. But that made Cocaine Mitch happy, which is bad. Also, Cocaine Mitch is an hilarious nickname for somebody with the charisma of a snail (which is good), but Blankenship came up with it (which is bad).

Sadly there are hundreds of thousands of #metoos that came before her. But she’s one of the most notable in my lifetime. (Anita Hill being the most notable one that comes to mind right now.)

Exactly. I was a kid too but old enough to know what happened and to understand the jokes - but not the political and cultural implications. The fact that she didn’t get plastic surgery and go hide in a foreign country is amazing.

I was a kid at the time so my knowledge and perspective on the situation was limited, but looking back and knowing what it’s like to be that young, we were really terrible to her.

Monica Lewinsky deserves a huge apology from the world. I cannot imagine what she endured and to continue to face fallout (even as simple as being excluded from an event) is infuriating.

Shhhh... facts are hard for some people.

Yet despite becoming the first Asian-American woman to serve in a president’s cabinet (as Labor Secretary under Bush), Chao has worked her entire career to push a conservative agenda that cripples the welfare of low-wage, immigrant workers.
