She seems like a pretty strong woman, I hope she & her lawyers stand by the original terms. Doing that is significant for several reasons.

THIS. Thank you! Of course douches love mom. It’s good for the image! And comes in handy for the standard triangulation games... UGH. Been there too many times. But they seemed sooo nice...

While saving the world he also has a habit of jetting around by private jet. Like, 8 hours Cannes to New York to collect an award for water initiatives... and then back to Cannes. Plus all the mega yachts he likes. His carbon footprint is huge.

You articulated part of the skeeviness of the modelizing...Leo has been around so long, initially seen as the “younger guy”, that we forget he is in his 40s now. As you said, that kind of power difference does not always bode well for young women. And with some men, it’s intentional.

Classic narcissist move - it was not HIS idea that she leave, so he won’t let her. He could have instead left things in vague limbo for ages (Affleck), or geared up to fight for the one thing she values more than anything else even though he’s not as interested (Pitt, the kids).

I’m sorry for the loss of your cousin and the trauma you’ve all been through. I’m happy that your Lady Gaga is doing better! Sleeping that close together says a ton. Forget stars, we need hearts, thank you for the happy update pic!

The frat-days indecencies that he inflicted on another human being totally cancelled the hot for me. I know some opinions are “meh, it was years ago, alcohol, etc” but after reading the horrific details of the incident & what followed (he hustled out of town & skipped facing charges), I just can’t “meh” it.

Smoke & mirrors...the classic technique of a sociopath. (source: daddy dearest, and a few exes...)

Or, let him survive, but kill the willingness of every banker who ever helped bail him out of a jam... the assistance of every lawyer who helped him thwart & stall lawsuits, etc & continue his crooked ways... the willful blindness of every person who turned a blind eye to his corruption and moral bankruptcy. He would…

My father has a personality disorder, I know one when I see one. Not much surprises me about the president elect...and yet, the points in the Hitler book link you referenced were disturbing, including the prescient warning of his interest in Hitler’s propaganda skills http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/08/donald-trum…

That’s how I feel exactly. I honestly believe there are a lot of people who still depend on TV for “news” and relevant information. And by skipping past some stories and avoiding analysis on others, tv media contributed to a significant information gap.

I agree, it was all there. I followed print coverage and have been constantly shaking my head that nothing stuck, gained public attention, the ways ‘emails’ and ‘crooked’ did. Even if it was the only thing people heard about, his abuse of charity funds would certainly count as dishonest & corrupt - but it’s somehow…

I’m sorry, I should have clarified, I was not finding fault with this site and I agree, many outlets had extensive coverage, long-form articles, etc. I was not unaware of the coverage/part of the problem.

It really appears as though the media voluntarily backed down, long ago...which is one reason why we’re even looking at this dictator. There are good people who voted for him as a “successful honest businessman” versus “Crooked Hillary”. There should have been extensive media coverage on all the existing reports that…

“WHO?!??!??!???!? [Celebitchy]” Pierre Casiraghi is Grace Kelly’s grandson, her daughter Caroline’s son. No idea why I know this. If that site is going for royals coverage, it does seem like they’re really reaching...

Even the major news outlets barely touched on the reports of significant issues. It’s like they wanted the viewers & clicks for the salacious story, but did not want to go anywhere near the many other highly disturbing topics. When no one is willing to report ugly news about a mere candidate, that is bizarre and…

What you’ve highlighted is disturbing and makes sense. The number of people I know trying to extricate themselves from relationships with sociopaths, or co-parent with them, etc, is mind-boggling. The 4% estimate I think is way under-estimated and it leaves us functioning in a very scary society. Which just got…

If the briefings don’t prominently feature the words ‘great’, ‘tremendous’, or ‘disaster’, he’s totally lost.

Exactly. My narcissist father is a non-issue but that knowledge is useful for the toxic people I can’t get out of my circle. (I know this means I did inherit some of his disorder...but I use it for good, not evil)

It’s likely a combination of his desire to be loved by everyone, plus being smart enough to know this isn’t his forte...and thinking HE is the best manipulator, and that Clinton and Obama are complete stooges catering to him & his new position, who he can take advantage of.
