Markets himself as such an alpha male (barf) and is too chicken shit to deal with a night of ribbing at his expense. And you know if Russia had an equivalent of this dinner Putin would at least have the nerve to show up and poison some journalists. Trump is just going to slink away and tweet in a corner.

I didn’t mean flamenco dancers. I meant belly dancers. The tapas place I go to sometimes has a belly dancer a couple nights a week. And they have plenty of options for what I can eat, just like the vast majority of restaurants I go to. So you can get outta here with your condescending tone.

Hah, my scarring experience at a tapas place was also when I was a poor graduate student and was spending way more than I should have at dinner. And I have the same reaction now - I would much rather spend the money on an actual complete meal.

Going to tapas places with a group of people is exhausting, even without a belly dancer swirling about and making me feel uncomfortable. Everyone wants to share the plates, which fine, except I don’t eat red meat so then I can only eat half of what we’ve ordered for the table, and I end up taking more than my share of…

I would refer you to this actual quote from our president that “[t]he leaks are absolutely real. The news is fake because so much of the news is fake.”

Harsh and I love it. Rory was insufferable in the original series, but she graduated to actual garbage person in the revival. There’s no coming back from cheating on and constantly forgetting the existence of your boyfriend of two years. Though it says a lot about the tone of the show that this was presented as a…

1. I am so sorry for what happened to you, and how the person you told it to didn’t believe you.

Agreed - the characters seemed like they would grate on each other, and the rumored dislike between Lauren Graham and whatever his name is telegraphed on screen a bit.

I think I’ve said this on Jez before, but Marty is a total blob of a sad sack. I was rewatching the last season (it is one of my comfort food shows, though I sort of hate-watch it now) and I had forgotten about how Marty pretended to his girlfriend that he didn’t know Rory. So Marty is also terrible, and therefore a…

Lorelai also just steamrolls Luke, as she tries to do with most people because she has to be right/have her way. In the revival, after Lorelai went off on her Wild hiking adventure and comes back and Luke was just this pathetic begging shell of a man saying he’ll change whatever he has to change to keep her when…

Counterpoint from revival: Jess seems to have grown up a bit. Whereas Rory and Logan countinue to behave like entitled children, while not perceiving themselves as entitled children (not to mention both of them cheating on their partners without remorse). Rory and Logan deserve each other.

Yes, Chanel can keep their grotesquely overpriced old lady handbags and the hideous stuff they put Jennifer Lawrence in, but I will take a Rick Owens leather jacket with my bare hands.

I have a friend like that who did vote for Hillary but told me a number of times that her theory was that Trump was a “secret Democrat” because he lived in NYC and other bs reasons she selected despite what he said and did on a daily basis. She’s now one of the ones who is convinced he won’t last [fill in the blank]…

Is there a coupon code or discount on this one? Have been interested to try it, but was waiting for a promo for it.

Yes, it was very cheapo department store quality in person, in addition to the issues with the cut. I’m pretty slim, but not Kate Middleton tiny. So yes, it is a dress for lithe fairy princesses with shiny bouncy hair but looks like bleh on the average bear.

I thought the dress looked great on her, and I rented it from Rent the Runway a year or so ago and it looked like trash on me. It was super thin fabric (which rarely does anyone any favors), and the twisty panel in front didn’t sit right.

In fairness, you can knock Kristen into a fight about someone else’s business with a feather.

Omg when they did the flashback this episode to when Jax and Stassi were together a million (or six, whatevs) years ago and his WHOLE FACE was like 2/3 the size it is now.

Based on the few snippets I’ve seen of Carlson’s show, it is absolutely about reinforcing the bias of its watchers, and he is so effective at it (in a gross way). He invites someone with a liberal perspective on his show. He selects a sentence they have said, twists it out of context, and then puts the interviewee on…

Honestly! How is this not a huge (yuge) story right now? It’s not even on the main page of NYTimes or WaPo? The hell, am I missing something? Unless this would otherwise have been a public hearing, this should be damning evidence, right?
