“The Trump National Hudson Valley? Why, she died on the way to prom night 50 years ago…”

This is what a stupid person thinks fancy food looks like

Same. It’s not intentional, usually! 

Not much Madonna love, but I’m really really bad about (good at?) picking up accents. For me, it’s an empathy thing, I think, where I unintentionally mirror others as I’m listening. 

Was Ariana Grande a surprise? Regardless of how we feel about her as a persona/diva, I thought we all generally understood that she’s an impressive singer. There are more than a few acapella recordings that her team regularly publish to remind everyone of the fact, given her actual music doesn’t always tend to…

Never forget that batshit insane, libertarian Arizona is also the largest state beneficiary of Federal money. Roughly 43% of all income generated in Arizona comes from Federal tax revenue. I know it’s cliche to talk about how neoliberalism (for lack of a better term) greatly over-estimates the power of the Federal…

Reminder: Jeff Flake is retiring because he didn’t think he could win an Arizona Republican Primary. Losing to this woman is what he was afraid of.

lol “personal responsibility”

I’m so happy that we’re moving past the cult of personality surrounding this guy. I’m sure there will be many of his acolytes showing up here to try to continue to peddle the myth of Elon Musk, but he has always been the worst. He’s a Pierce Brosnan era Bond villain. 

He was a 17 who didn’t consent. That last bit is the most important part. He was also groomed, from childhood, by her. How do you not find that fucked up and unacceptable?

This doesn’t surprise me. Cycles of abuse are self-perpetuating. I’m surprised more people aren’t pointing out how distressingly similar the details of this assault are to her allegation against Weinstein: the grooming and isolating of the victim, providing alcohol before attacking etc. It’s infuriating to think…

It’s no big deal — having held such positions, I know most students would not draw any distinction, it’s just a technicality of title that’s relevant here only to affirm that Duke did not hire a Nazi for a tenured professorship. :)

I dunno, maybe if your wife is on the short side, you don’t buy her a G-Wagen?

Women can have receding hairlines, too. It’s also very thin up front. For a woman who already had a high forehead, she probably doesn’t want to highlight that. 

Girl, she’s been taping since The Apprentice. 

...all that plus now, it’s pretty clear to her what a moron she married, and how bad he is at his job, whereas before, he was a TV star. Really hard for a fairly intelligent woman to be married to such a moron and still try to smile at him in public like she means it.

I’m sure her life in NYC was great: shopping, Pilates, Tiffany’s, sleeping in a separate bedroom from Donald, never having to touch him, let alone hold his hand in public — basically show up occasionally on his arm at some event, well-dressed and posing. Pretty much continuing to be exactly what she was when she was a…

“...Don’t feel sorry for me. Don’t feel sorry for me.”

I think Melania is unhappy because she thought she’d be a wealthy widow years ago, and married to husband #2 and have more kids by now. I think she took one look at Trump’s diet and aversion to exercise and assumed she’d be a widow within a year or two. That’s probably why she signed the prenup. Even with his…
