Ah those were the days. 

Yes but I think that's because she actually was a nice person in addition to the bells and whistles that made her show appealing at the time. 

I’m not buying the “spend more time with family” bullshit. In the history of DC, that excuse is always code for getting fired. (Plus Obama proved that you can be a dedicated, involved parent AND hold a high profile, high stakes job.) Staffers don’t magically remember the family they had when they took that job.

Remember the outrage when George HW Bush’s Chief of Staff John Sununu used a White House limo and driver to go to a stamp auction and run errands in NYC as well as military aircraft for personal trips and lied about all of it being official?

Being nice is something you do albeit a vague notion but still a human behavior.

I struggle with this because I’m related to a similar person. But if Trump doesn’t care about what his family things, and he clearly doesn’t, then that difference will any of this make?

Fucking thank you. I’ve worked in politics and government for over 20 years. I don’t have a problem with people talking shit about me and to me whenever I’m quoted or doing something for my boss. But my husband and child didn’t sign up for that. So I take that shit rather seriously because they have nothing to do with…

You see, kids, this is what happens to bullies when no one stands up to them.

Your last paragraph is spot on.

Thank you. Aren’t there a zillion superhero movies out by now? The one time I defended GOOPy was when she couldn’t remember which Marvel movie she had been in with some other guy. I believe it. After yet another Captain America: South Pole Warrior or Avengers: Extermination Day movie, I don’t know what is what…

The only reason I like the Boy is Mine is because of the video. Without it, it’s two women fighting over the same guy, and I hate that crap. 

Yeah that's a shitty thing to say. I prefer to live alone because of my personality, but I've lived with strangers because I had to. Another friend of mine can't stand living alone. Doesn't matter if she lives with someone on CL. She doesn't want to be alone. And she made way more money than I did. 

So this guy?

I did that to a troll once!

Or screaming at defenseless, young children who cannot leave your presence is the perfect vocation.

Yeah. Also how do you get that angry at 25?

Ew. 

This is one thing I look forward to as a parent: getting the call from school, going to the principal’s office, and getting to ask, “And what precipitated My Child’s reaction?”

Why would you ever go there??? (The douche. Not you.)

I’m convinced Union is a vampire because she does not age.
