        She spew that crap to your kids or is she at least keeping them out of it? -- nm - Bacon Dec 16, 07:26 13
        
        no, just to us parents. - groiny Dec 16, 07:27 12

        ketchup goes good on anything! -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 08:23 1
        
        while the practicality of it is unquestionable, the look on your kids face when they unwrap ketchup.... - groiny Dec 16, 08:25
        
        kids need *real* prezzies - Spawn Dec 16, 07:44
        
        eh, I am somewhat entertained by it. - groiny Dec 16, 07:33
        
        Eesh, at least the kids are insulated it seems. -- nm - Bacon Dec 16, 07:29 4
        
        honestly, they never see her either, so they are pretty much ambivilant. -- nm - groiny Dec 16, 07:30 3
        
        how sad for all of you ... I mean - the bond of grandparent to grandchild can be such a wonderful source of unconditional love and vice versa - her - JenBro Dec 16, 07:48 2
        
        ssssh, I got a rep to protect! -- nm - groiny Dec 16, 07:50 1
        
        point taken you heartless bastard - JenBro Dec 16, 09:18
- I thought that was rather clear. Among other things, his sister uses Mom as a caretaker. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 07:15 3
  - There are a couple of issues though. (1) Mom is entitled to her opinions and frustrations, and daughter does not recognise any of that. - Roger More Dec 16, 07:17 1
    - yeah, if anything, just ask for the daughter to start paying for her services. -- nm - groiny Dec 16, 07:18

Scott Baio's wife backs claim that husband was assaulted by Chili Peppers' drummer's wife over support for Trump. -- (link) - budice Dec 16, 07:06 14
- It's a rather bizarre story, but the drummer's wife was out of line based on how it's been reported so far. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 07:08 10
  - I haven't read anything about it, but it's kind of how I felt about the video of the bikers beating up a KKK member. - JaxSanta Dec 16, 07:20 9
    - The first Amendment protects us from being arrested for something we express. It doesn't prevent someone from kicking your ass for saying it. - Mel Profit Dec 16, 07:24 8
      - These are the same people who want to have reporters fired for reporting news. - Dark Callisto Dec 16, 07:36 7
        
        I find this new tactic of the Trump/Right particularly troubling. Seizing the "fake news" story to say that the fake news is coming from the - pmb Dec 16, 08:25
        
        It remains startling how quickly people turn. I thought I'd seen a pretty dramatic change after 9.11 (I/we did) but this Trump business is getting out - Mel Profit Dec 16, 07:41 4
        
        "What is the precise moment, in the life of a country, when tyranny takes hold?" - Spawn Dec 16, 07:51
        
        I think it's important to remember that these people haven't had to actually do anything yet - they have power but no accountability or responsibility - Reagen Dec 16, 07:47 2
        
        I wonder if accountability will apply to them. The fact that you had a candidate lie in the most childish and obvious ways and still win is startling. - Mel Profit Dec 16, 07:56 1
        
        If the ones doing the investigations are the ones to be investigated? -- nm - zeit spiced geist Dec 16, 14:09
        
        Some are rather... high ranking/powerful men. - Spawn Dec 16, 07:39
- So he got beat up by a girl? C'mon, Chachi. -- nm - JaxSanta Dec 16, 07:08 2
  - to be fair, I'm guessing the wife of a chili pepper would probably kick most of our asses -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 16, 07:10 1
    - Yes, but then you don't go tell the world about it. -- nm - JaxSanta Dec 16, 07:15
