With regards to CHIP, they could have passed a bipartisan bill MONTHS ago. The right held on to it as a bargaining chip for DACA and the fucking wall. So now the narrative starting to come out from that side is "see Dems care more about people not born here than OUR OWN CHILDREN" its baffling.

I hope they don't, but I'm sure they will.

Against my better judgement I read the Stormy Daniels thing on Buzzfeed. I am dying to share something from it, which I promise has absolutely nothing to do with sex and is just about what a weirdo Trump is. So given that, are you guys ok with it? Spoiler it.

So we were listening to NPR in the car this morning (as every morning) and some republican was coming unglued on Rachel Martin about the democrats causing a shut-down and playing politics with children's health. So I came a little unglued myself and started yelling "YOU HAD FOUR MONTHS TO FUND CHIP, YOU ASSHOLE!" My toddler thought it was hilarious, so we made a game yelling about how "republicans are mean liars!" Probably not something I should make a habit of, but my 20-month-old was highly entertained. He was so obnoxiously condescending! "Now you know that isn't true, RACHEL..." I was yelling, too.

So Trump is hosting his $100k/Head party tomorrow at Mar A Lago to celebrate “the anniversary of his inauguration”. Does he not realize this isn’t his coronation day or something? Tell me I’m overreacting here but that wording gave me chills. January 20 doesn’t belong just to you, fucker. I think it's just another excuse for him to not be in the White House. And to charge people $$$ to be in his presence. It's all about his wallet.

The second time Stormy Daniels had dinner with Trump there was a little tv they could see from the table (she confirms he was obsessed with tv then too) and he was watching Shark Week and a special about the USS Indianapolis (my assumption based on her description). Quote: He is obsessed with sharks. Terrified of sharks. He was like “I donate to all these charities and I would never donate to any charity that helps sharks. I hope all the sharks die.” He was like riveted. He was like obsessed. I know, it’s the strangest thing ever.” It’s not important in the grand scheme of things but his whole “I hope all the sharks die” is just such a childish thing that it has me laughing. Plus the image of him just sitting there watching Shark Week and thinking all these angry anti-shark thoughts 😂 🐋🐋🐋
It might not be as funny to everyone else but I’m a little sleep deprived and I always enjoy the ridiculous.

mb3, no worries - I don't think that needed to be spoilered. If you're going to quote her description of his genitals, please spoiler it. Of course, I was giggling and then it came to my mind that if you replaced "sharks" with "POC", that would still be a statement he would say. And that made me stop laughing really fast.

anyone catch the surprise presser about the possible shutdown?
I only caught the tail end of it, it was the most excited I've heard the press ever I think.

@blanche how are you doing? My offer for dinner and drinks on me still stands if there’s a shut down. <3 Oh, I'm a wreck. Thank you for thinking of me <3 My offer stands too. For both dinner and your feelings. If you need to vent you can always call me ❤

Apparently Trump will cancel FL trip if there is no deal tonight. Someone read the room. I imagine this was somewhat on the level of me canceling my 5-year-old's birthday party with 2 days notice.

I guess I can see a grey area here. I don’t hate it. It seems like they are trying to be thoughtful. Could they have found someone less controversial? Idk.

There's a limited pool of candidates. Examples of women who had status and means enough to be cataloged in history for their public works pre-WWII are not exactly endless. Even harder if you're going to DQ anyone related to racist institutions in a state built on racist institutions. I buy the nuance here.

Thanks for the link! The section about the entire monument was especially helpful to understand the context, and how it includes 12 statues and 200 names of women, including slaves and indigenous leaders and union spies. Kind of astounding Pocahontas isn't in there, though.

crunch I'm not marching. The closest one is three hours away and with both of my kids in activities starting this weekend, it just wasn't doable. I'm kind of torn on feeling guilty for not making the effort and relieved to have an excuse considering the articles and think pieces about the pussy hat.
