“Michigan has come a long way but that doesn’t mean we get to coast now.”

O’Keefe’s work, though dishonest

Ugh, thank you for this. I have been saying this since the smarmy little weasel ran for the first time.

I guess that makes Ivanka a special little snowflake who needs a safe space. And screw Nordstrom for not selling clothes made by a “great person”! -_-

Her clothes are boxy and short-waisted, with weird zippers and gold accents. I’ve come across things and tried them on out of curiosity but they all looked bad on me. There was one dress I liked on the hanger but when I put it on the waist came up two inches below my boobs and then sprang out from there. I looked…

Never doubt Our Orange Overlord’s ability to make any situation worse. Ivanka could have just quietly swallowed this business setback and got on with her life, BUT NO! The triple O has to bitch, and Nordstrom gets to reiterate that sales are the reason for this decision. He is actually humiliating his daughter by his…

Considering that her clothes are hideous, it’s not surprising. Her brand hasn’t really done well previously. She had a store in Soho, which also shut down likely because there really isn’t a market for her tacky clothing.

I love his assertion that her being ‘a great person’ (citation needed) has any bearing on Nordstrom carrying her line. They cut it because it didn’t sell, and Nordstrom is a business, it wouldn’t matter if it was Mother Teresa’s line.

You ever read Anne Rule’s “Green River Running Red”? I knew objectively she had to have a cozy relationship with the police in order to get the access she did, but her cheerleading for the task force, when they screwed up multiple times, and people *died,* along with her dismal of the grassroots awareness group…

Reichert is going down in 2018. He’s neighboring Seattle so he’s surrounded by riled up progressives who are itching to unseat his dumb ass, his district has gone blue in the presidential election for awhile now, and he’s just coasting off of bragging how he caught the Green River Killer

I worked on a dementia unit, and one of the more awkward conversations I had was with a family who didn’t know why their patriarch was being kept under such close watch, after he hit another patient. They assured me that he was a wonderful man, and would never do something like that. I told them that I didn’t doubt…

do you know how awful it is to be pitied by an Australian?

The weirderst thing i can identify on both is that they seem to talk in loops. Like they know they can’t be very coherent for long, so they make short statements. Because sometimes they know they’re slipping. My dad had these lapses of sanity during the mid-late stages of his “spiral”. I think deep down he didn’t want…

Nah. His incoherence compared to what he used to be like is astounding. Yeah, he’s always been an asshole, but in the past he had been a relatively articulate asshole who could stay on topic and maintained some level of focus. Look at any recent public appearance where he strays from his prepared remarks and his…

He’s always been an asshole, that’s true. But there’s been a noticeable change in the way he speaks over the last 5-10 years. Doesn’t mean dementia, could be a medication side effect, but not a great sign.

Yea, his testimony before Congress was really depressing. There were moments when he couldn’t remember the names of people he had worked closely with for years, and it was obvious that he knew that he should be able to remember. I am no fan of Reagan, but that is always a sad thing to see.

Full disclosure: my mother is going through this. When I hear Trump speak, all I can hear is the same paranoia and misunderstanding of facts combined with the repeating of words and phrases over and over.

I know this is anecdotal, but i saw dementia upclose with my father.
Dad had always been a cool guy, he didn’t blow up when he was angry, he was always a very tolerant person, he had varied tastes in music, film and TV. He had his consumption fetiches (he likes horses, cars and stuff like that) but he was also smart…

This whole page won’t load for me for some reason, but how about how he didn’t realize he permanently appointed Bannon to the NSC? “Oh, well...I don’t know. It all happened very fast, and then the man looked like he was nice, so I bought the timeshare and then...oh my...”

There were stories of Reagan, relating anecdotes on the campaign trail, of his horror at seeing the prisoners at the liberation of Dachau (he spent the war in Hollywood)...as well as other events that were in movies he starred in as actually having happened.
