I literally cringed when I read this.

“While there is no modern precedent for an adult child of the president, I will voluntarily follow all of the ethics rules placed on government employees,” she said.

My lord, there are more 5th graders in this country who have a better in-depth knowledge of Susan B. Anthony then the president.

Thank you so much, I appreciate your help and effort! I will look up the agroforestry and shade grown coffee, and I thank you in advance for the links.

Ask people questions to make them realize how much they are actually lacking in knowledge.

On the one hand, I would love to go back to Europe soon and cheaper flight prices make that possible with my current financial situation. On the other hand, this just makes me sad. On my third hand, it also scares me. I’m not afraid of traveling through Europe on my own, but I’m scared for the future of traveling and…

This whole clusterfuck of an administration is quickly giving me an inability to word properly.

I’m fairly certain that was my exact expression when I read the story earlier.

I understand the “logic” that is being used. I grew up in a right-wing paranoid family, so I know how these contortions of the mind work. But usually they’re a little more stealthy, or at least attempt to be sneaky. This is going all out with the “I do what I want” attitude.

Huh. Politicians and media are all talking about a connection between the Trump Administration and Russia. There have already been resignations over a Russian connection. There is an actual investigation by the FBI.

I watched mainly because I was going to marry JTT, but recently I’ve come to appreciate the mom, Jill. She raised three boys, kept house, went back to school for her PhD, and started a new career by the end of the show. Plus, she was a character with human flaws.

This administration reminds me of a lazy high school or college student who never wants to do the work. They see a headline, maybe read a line or two, and then use it for their homework as a source. They’ll argue endlessly about how right they are, finding every single loophole. Then Mommy Congress comes and bitches…

Hahaha, not seriously race them. Basically, they just have them trot around a small loop and the first one to make it to the finish line is declared the winner. There is usually a treat of some kind to coax them, but they rarely run. Some people will dress their dog in a funny hat or sweater. It’s really just an…

It’s similar with Oktoberfest, at least in the Midwest. I went with a friend and her sister to an Oktoberfest festival last year. They were both decked out in Halloween costume dirndls to celebrate how much they identify with their 1/16th German heritage, all while drinking hard ciders. Conversely, I wore a t-shirt…

Not only did I have some issues with quality, I’ve found that their core type of products has changed recently. Maybe it’s just me, but from browsing their stuff weekly, I’ve noticed that their retro/vintage clothes have been increasingly replaced by more modern fits, bridal, and eveningwear styles (which, of course,…

I’ve heard that microwaving some tin foil hats can block out government surveillance. You can also microwave out phone wiretaps.

As conflicted as I am/was over the strike, I feel kinda guilty because I didn’t really have anything that I needed to do today. Plus we have a massive wind storm going on, and traffic is a nightmare due to that, power is out everywhere, so I wouldn’t have gone out to buy anything anyway.

There’s a mega Evangelical church and a mega Catholic Church near my house, and most people in the local neighborhoods attend one or the other. There were so many Trump bumperstickers right next to religious or churchy bumperstickers on Sunday cars. Right before the election, I got very nervous, but I hoped that the…

I live in Michigan, in a ritzy ass suburb that went for Trump (I live in the “poor” section). Multi million dollar mansions with huge Trump signs on their lawns were depressingly common during the election.

Well, I guess that shutting down schools and forcing mothers without emergency childcare to just stay home is one way to increase the number of women “participating” in the strike...
