How fortunate for your friend! Manipulative assholes do like to make grand gestures that put them in a good light, so some people will say great things about them. Glowing comments from HIMYM crew members about what he did for your friend work to counter unflattering comments from others, such as NYC theatre people.…

With that exchange he demonstrated a few distasteful character traits. First, his humor bullying - even worse, he figured she was an easy mark because she was some random unknown that he, NPH could snark on, and others would pile on and join in mocking. And, then condescension & superiority and zero apology or owning…

yeah he often grabs women inappropriately but he’s a “good guy”

A dozen desperate, approval-seeking potus tweets before noon: When the neediness of a malignant narcissist completely out of their depth collides with their inherent pettiness and vindictiveness

I would think/hope it would be. Since the quaint concept of ‘domestic issues’ to be polite about has been replaced by ‘domestic violence’ and ‘domestic abuse’. Things have definitely changed - back then it was always possible Nixon’s wife deserved it, and one wouldn’t want to get involved...

That proclamation is so pandering it’s difficult to read. And I truly believe he does not see any difference between president and king, he really has no clue

Orange is not a race. How do he & his supporters not get this?

Whaat? That’s some ‘Trump/John Barron, named my son Barron’-level weirdness. The ultimate inside joke, where he’s the only one who gets it. A private smirk. Smh

He always manages to look petulant. Crossing one’s arms can be a defensive or hostile stance - yet with the raised shoulders & awkward arm-crossing he has the posture of a petulant toddler. So many layers of a fantastic psychological study, if only he weren’t also potus

Interesting how he manipulated the situation, by requesting you be there all 3 days. Not surprised at the whiskey dick - the best manipulators I’ve known couldn’t keep it up, whiskey or not (it’s like permanent karma!). But how is he unaware of hair product that smells nice that makes it look unwashed?? Also, I get…

I had no idea tabloids are still doing that, it’s ridiculous since the truth about his passenger is on record. And my apologies for the misread, now I understand your point about the x-factor - adds another layer of poignancy to the sad story of his step-granddaughter

Judd goes on to say she hopes that in the era of #MeToo we will see an example of “restorative justice” embodied by one of the accused, someone who “can navigate the duality of having aggressed and address their abuse of power with culpability and integrity.”

Side note - that header pic, whatever he was aiming for, he can’t even convincingly fake a look that says ‘listening’ or ‘thoughtful’ - he is such an empty vessel. The con habits he relied on all his life are no match for what is expected of potus, and they definitely have been impacted by what appears to be dementia.

Also, there are those who believe his statement, so as far as he’s concerned, it’s still a win for him. Typical sociopath logic

To your point about the buzz-worthy phrase, there really should be repeated Amber Alerts - 1500 of them. This entire situation is appalling and continues to be mishandled.

“I admit that I am someone who feels a need to try to make women—and men—feel appreciated and at ease around me.”

Well that huffpo article had some specifics that make the allegation difficult to dismiss. And the relationship was mentioned last month in the murder trial, apparently Hines herself referred to it in texts to her boyfriend. This is so disturbing, he raised her as his granddaughter after adopting her mother

The woman in that car accident was merely another younger-than-him woman he was suspected to be having an affair with - but not his step grand daughter. Also, his step granddaughter was not a white blonde, unsure who the “x factor/instant star” is that you’re thinking of

It’s so unbelievable and just tiring each time there’s yet another. I don’t know if I have anyone on my personal hope list, but I don’t understand why Tom Hanks is on so many. He cheated on his first wife when he met Rita Wilson, then walked away from his marriage and 2 young kids. And the 2 of them managed to create…

Those scenes would affect kids currently experiencing abuse - they normalize a standard coping mechanism by not just depicting it but also verbalizing it, with one character instructing another how to survive the discomfort. Abused kids should not ever see/hear anything that implies that abuse & their coping…
