A round up of Trumpian events šŸ–•šŸŠšŸ¤”

What I’d love is for the Dems to not just stonewall or keep pointlessly sending the same old legislation to Mitch, knowing it’ll be rejected, as a political game.

I’d like them to come forward and say ā€œOK, you want border security? We’ll meet you halfway and double what we currently have: $3 billion. But it will be spent on what DHS and ICE recommend: electronic surveillance, officer training, etc, not a physical steel barrier.ā€ Come forth with an offer of strong border security and make Trump reject the recommendations of his own border security offices in favor of something proven not to work.

Amen brother. Nancy is playing a ballsier game than I thought she would. And he has already taken note of the fact that he ā€œis getting crushedā€ on the shut down. As he slips further into his alternate universe, this has real potential to get very scary.

Thanks, but I barely know who those two are. And I care even less about what they have to say in their spat than I do about any other ā€œTwitter feud.ā€

From what I understand the Dems had already decided against it anyway; he wasn’t offering any real compromise, and still wanted 5B+ for his wall.

Dude… don’t be gross.

There’s an appropriate time and place for ā€˜sexual titillation,’ and that particular dumpster-fire conflict ain’t it.

One of them is Aryan Barbie on Fox News, never heard of the other one

Thanks! (though that hardly helps, given how that describes just about every woman who debases herself by presenting on that network)

Cardi B was a stripper who turned into a rapper, and in 2017 she had a song called Bodak Yellow that seemed to be inescapable, even though it wasn’t all that good, IMO.

Ever since then, she’s been all over reality tv, stays in the news for having beef with other entertainers like Nicki Minage; and most recently, she had a rant on Instagram about the shutdown that actually has some valid points, even though it was profanity laced.

Tomi Lahren is one of the dumbest (but prettiest!) ones;

Ugh, ymmv, but that kind of dolled-up, generic, seen-it-a-million-times conventional attractiveness looks especially unattractive to me.

No disagreement there; she’s not what I consider appealing either.

However, I’m talking about the archetype that so many White dudes are programmed to put on a pedestal as ā€œthe ideal trophy.ā€

When incels talk about ā€˜Staceys’ who are ā€œout of their league,ā€ that’s usually the particular archetype they mean.

Indeed.

Carbine Barbie probably provides most of them all sorts of fantasy fuel.

Funny thing.

I will admit I couldn’t describe someone beyond the basics for shit but that applies to my own mother. But show me a picture of your standard person and then a pic of a completely different one, and I can tell they’re different people (unless you’re trying to trick me). But blonde conservative commentators? Sorry, they all look alike to me. It’s chilling, in a way, because it says that there is a very specific standard you must abide by to join those ranks. Calling it Stepfordish doesn’t really even come close.

Yes, true what you say about the ways different blondes can look very different from each other, but there’s something replicant-like about the conservative ones. What distinguishes them as a group for me as that they all seem angry and mean.

It still works for me, though; I’ve been referring that particular type of vacuous blonde token as ā€˜Stepfords’ for years.

It’s more that it’s too mild a term.

Somehow the real life is even more creepy.

Not to me; The Stepford Wives creeped me right the fuck out when I was a kid who wasn’t supposed to be watching it (but I did anyway.)

For me it distills the very core of a nightmare; hordes of superficially attractive White women with no minds, personality or agency of their own, who exist only to facilitate the needs and wants of a domineering White man that controls them completely.
