“I took a break from my rigorous nap schedule to be here. And as you’ve already heard, it’s a treat for all of you too, because usually, I charge a lot for speeches like this.”
“Getting through these three debates with Donald has to count as a miracle, so I guess I’m up against the highest, hardest, stained glass ceiling.”
“I just wanna put you all in a basket of adorables.”
“You look so good in your tuxes, or as I refer to them, ‘formal pantsuits.’”
“Donald, if at any time you don’t like what I’m saying, feel free to stand up and shout ‘WRONG’ while I’m talking.”
“It’s amazing I’m up here after Donald. I didn’t think he’d be okay with a peaceful transition of power.”
“Donald, after listening to your speech, I will also enjoy listening to Mike Pence deny that you ever gave it.”
“Remember, if you don’t like how it turned out, it must be rigged.”
“People look at the Statue of Liberty and see a proud symbol […] Donald looks at the Statue of Liberty and sees a 4, maybe a 5 if she loses the torch and tablet and changes her hair.”
“I understand I am not known for my sense of humor. That’s why it did take a village to write these jokes.”
“I’m not boring at all. In fact, I’m the life of every party I attend, and I’ve been to three.”
“When the parties get out of hand, as occasionally they do, it’s important to have a responsible chaperone who can get everyone home safely, and that is why I picked Tim Kaine to be my vice president.”
“You notice there is no teleprompter here tonight, which is probably smart because maybe you saw Donald dismantle his prompter the other day. And I get that. They’re hard to keep up with, and I’m sure it’s even harder when you’re translating from the original Russian.”
“Donald wanted me drug-tested before last night’s debate, and look, I gotta tell you, I am so flattered that Donald thought I used some sort of performance enhancer. Now actually, I did. It’s called preparation.”
“I’ve had to listen to Donald for three full debates, and he says I don’t have any stamina. That is four and a half hours. I have now stood next to Donald longer than any of his campaign managers.”
“Whoever wins this election, the outcome will be historic. We will either have the first female president or the first president who started a Twitter war with Cher.”
“If Donald does win, it’ll be awkward at the annual President’s Day photo, when all the former presidents gather at the White House. And not just with Bill – how is Barack gonna get past the Muslim ban?”
“Donald has issues. Serious issues. Really, really serious issues.”
“[Donald] actually sent me a car to bring me here tonight. Actually, it was a hearse.”
“Donald really is as healthy as a horse, you know, the one Vladimir Putin rides around on.”
“I will be the healthiest and youngest woman ever to serve as president.”
“I’ve tried to inspire young people […] and [Donald] is doing the same. A third-grade teacher told me that one of her students refused to turn in his homework because it was under audit.”
“Here’s another similarity. The Republican National Committee isn’t spending a dime to help either one of us.”
“Let’s embrace the spirit of the evening, let’s come together, remember what unites us, and just rip on Ted Cruz.”
“I hope you enjoyed my remarks tonight. I said ‘no’ to some jokes that I thought were over the line, but I suppose you can judge for yourself on Wikileaks in the next few days.”
In the cases of all the women who spoke out in the video, there was no justice. Their assaulters and harassers walked free because either nobody believed them or there was nothing they could do. The Trump tape was one of many final straws. "We’re not gonna take it any more,“ Amber Tamblyn said. “Like, for real, we’re not.”
I think it’s absolutely and unforgivably disgusting that some men will read this and roll their eyes and dismiss it like its some feminist bullshit. Fuck every single one of you. Fuck. You.
If a guy ever spreads a rumor that he slept with you, don’t deny it. One, because there will always be people who think it’s true, and two, because that dumbass boy just handed you the power to say anything you want about what he’s like in bed, and people will believe it. Say he bleats like a sheep when he orgasms. Say he put on pearl earrings and asked you to call him Daisy. Say he couldn’t get it up until he watched an old Billy Mays infomercial. The power is yours.
“You think I’d let him destroy me and end up happier than ever? No fucking way. He doesn’t get to win. My cute, charming, salt-of-the-earth Missouri guy. He needed to learn. Grown-ups work for things. Grown-ups pay. Grown-ups suffer consequences.”
There is SO MUCH MORE INFORMATION at the main site entry – 28 footnotes worth! Before you start going off about “why doesn’t she have a movie” (she does), or “this detail isn’t right!” please go there and read up.
103 year old Ruline Steininger casts a vote for Hillary Clinton in Iowa, as early voting began in the state.
She was born in 1913 when women were banned from voting, and born even before the First World War began.
She has voted in every election since 1936, when she first cast her vote for Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and earlier this year has sent a letter to Hillary saying:
“In my first century of life, I’ve seen many incredible things” “A pandemic, two worldwide depressions, a cure for polio, the
first Catholic president, a man on the moon, the end of smallpox, an
attack on American soil, and a black president. In my second century, I
look forward to seeing a woman president.”
Kind of really sobering when you really think about the fact that there are people in this country who are alive at this moment and lived at a time when universal suffrage hadn’t existed yet.
friendly reminder that ina garten, the host of barefoot contessa on food network, majored in economics and was in charge of writing the budget for the US’s nuclear program and drafted policy memos regarding construction of nuclear centrifuges under US presidents ford and carter
also she fund raises for planned parenthood and supports gay marriage so yeah this woman can budget, plan nuclear policy, and cook a mean meal and now u know
Not surprised one bit tbh
damn people didn’t know this? she is actually a happy little wonder woman.
She’s Jewish, too!
I didn’t know any of this!! ❤ ❤ ❤
If you can’t make your own nuclear materials storebought is fine
In this vein, Julia Child was a top secret researcher working directly for the head of the OSS (Office of Strategic Services), which was the WWII era precursor to the CIA. She invented a shark repellent to keep them away from underwater explosives that is still in use today. That’s also where she and Paul met – he worked for the OSS, too. Along with being a fourth degree blackbelt and other things throughout his long career.
She was 31 and already considered an old maid (her famous height had made it harder for her to date, and so on). Every source I’ve ever read on them suggests that these two just adored each other.
So what got her into the OSS to begin with? Her height! She (at 6 foot 2) was too tall for the army.
