What a nice compliment. I do know that one. I can see it in my mind’s eye while I type. hahaha

Yeah that gets me too. You’re right about that being incorrect. And jarring.

In reality Trump is the wolf king for the family!
I don’t disagree, but your stricture would clear out the entire Republican party, at least in terms of representatives. I approve the project if it can be effected.
It’s from 1953, which I think is interesting. She’s discovered all on her own, against a lot of societal pressure, the gratification of standing up for yourself. Like Huck Finn with slavery. NR was a more interesting person, I suspect, than the coziness of some of his illustrations would lead you to believe.

O from what I’ve been given to understand, he was. Much more so. I think I saw an American Masters about him.
That’s also kind of my era - a little early, I was 2 in '53, but she’s recognizable to me in her braids and her socks and pinafore - it’s very much how we dressed in grade school.

I’m just a few years younger and I remember that stuff too. The styles of clothing didn’t really start changing for little kids until the mid-'60s. We didn’t wear knickers, at least.

The way I remember it is that I taught myself very early on to expand out the “it’s” and see if it still makes sense - e.g.:
"Virtue is it is own reward"
Nope, gotta be “its”…

His accusations are basically projections of his worldview on others, that everyone cheats, all the time - and therefore his win was extra special for overcoming them. Anyway he has to drag everyone down. One way of asserting dominance is his insisting that they’re all dirty also, and so can’t hold him to any moral or legal standard.
And he doesn’t need proof. His audience only need the hint of impropriety - they don’t have the attention-span to know or care if it’s true or not, and even if it’s later disproven, they won’t believe the messenger. They don’t read much, -but their votes count. He’s found the deep flaws in human nature and made himself king with them, just like Putin.

Nope but everything was almost that uncomfortable - at least for girls. I came home from my first day of school looking a lot like the girl in the painting. I had taken my hair out of its braids and pulled my skirt down hard so many times I had pulled out the stitching that held it to the waistband. All those little dresses with full skirts were short waisted and that began my career of pulling the stitching out that held skirts to the bodices of the dresses because they rode up and were terribly uncomfortable. hahahaha

Instant asshole, just add reporters.
Sometimes a person just really wants to squash a thing.
Sometimes I really want to squash Trump into a flattened pile of fetid orangeness.

His aides told him to say that he was joking.

Don’t get your Ivanka memes, but that’s OK.
I’m pretty sure he also did the I’ll be president for 6, 8, 10 years in the same ‘chopper talk’ where he said he’s the chosen one.

I’m not just tired of this guy’s crap, I’m wearied to the bone. The incessant nonsense that he spouts daily just wears a person down.
