I’m so tired of rich people pretending not to be like other rich people. Usually these “I swear we’re really humble and normal” stories are the ones that best expose how cluelessy spoiled someone is. I heard a lot of these growing up in fancy neighborhoods and attending fancy schools. My favorite was when someone in…

THANK YOU. Reading that pretty much had me like

It was either this or the one about how she could have been a brilliant actor, since the servants applauded wildly at all the plays she performed for them (and made them pay to attend).

Vanity Fair has mentioned a number of times, in pieces on Trump, that the fact that he doesn’t engage in philanthropy is a major social issue for him in NYC. From what I can gather - because I am obviously not of that “set” - there’s a kind of checks and balance of people organising benefits, buying plates at each…

OK, maybe I’m being super fussy here, but how can you have ‘no such advantages’ and the ‘good fortune’ of having ‘a bodyguard that summer’ all in the same freaking paragraph???!!!!??

Hell, and even if they did sell some lemonade in central park, I would’ve had them donate that money to charity. Even made my kids one of those cool giant checks so they can proudly hang it on the wall and always remember that “Yes, charitable works are important. As is empathy.”

In the episode of Rick Steves’ Europe when he goes to Versailles, he makes the utterly best description/encapsulation of Le Petit Trianon in one tossed-off phrase: “The Queen would tend her perfumed sheep....”

This reminds me of a car commercial I saw last week, where this guy is giving the old spiel about “working hard” and “not letting obstacles get in your way” as the path toward success. The punchline is at the end when they reveal that said inspirational narrator is actually Clint Eastwood’s son. Because, obviously,…

This is like the opposite of when breitbart tried to make Hillary look bad by telling a story about the time as a small child when she punched a kid who tried to mess with some baby rabbits, and it obviously just made her sound more awesome.

“No such advantages....”

I’m reminded of Ann Romney talking about how haaaaard it was going through college with Mitt’s dad only buying them a house, full tuition, and some lump sum for living expenses that was something like $20,000 adjusted for inflation.

Dear sweet mother of god, how is it possible to be this moronically clueless?

Ivanka has it in her head that she has to defend Trump no matter what, because he’s her father but she knows exactly what he is. But she’s been raised to be a good little team player so she’ll cheer him on no matter what he does.

I took the CDs of him reading his second book out of the library just to hear his voice. It was great. I may have to buy it and keep it in the car just so I can remember that we used to have a president who used complete sentences.

What are you looking for, exactly? And how do you know he isn’t doing things behind the scenes with the huge network of contacts that he has? I can’t think of a time when a living ex-President actively worked against the new President out in the open, especially so soon after the election. That’s an invitation to…

As a liberal who lives in a small city in bible belt Central TX for graduate school, especially as a queer POC, it is misery out here. It’s lonely, so many people have a chip on their shoulder and want to show you that they’re superior. I just go along with it because if I don’t I’ll waste my time. Also, there are…

i don’t like being made aware that i am also technically alone (ie: not married) and child-less and old, and i also like to point out to anyone how stupid their vote for trump was.

Trump’s response will essentially be this:
