Oh Teppy, that is rough.

I also appreciate how no one is blaming Melania, cause we all know that she didn't write her speech.

While she didn't write the speech, if I was going to give a speech as the potential first lady I certainly would have listened to prior potential first lady speeches. Sounds like the Trump people are going to throw her under the bus as her words though.

What can I do if I can't fix things?

You hug him hard. And let him hug you.

Ah, Steph, I'm sorry. You just hold on and walk through the shit together.

Oh Teppy, it was rough before reading the additional awfulness. I am so sorry that you both have so much going on right now. Hold each other tight.

because the dog didn't come running to greet us like he normally does when we've been on vacation

It's so often that one last thing that pushes you past what you can handle at that moment.

How did we get to the point that Scott Baio is not only speaking at the RNC, but is interviewed on MSNBC the next day? OTOH, she's completely taking him apart about a sexist tweet he posted.

How did we get to the point that Scott Baio is not only speaking at the RNC, but is interviewed on MSNBC the next day?

That's hit the point of absurdity for me. Like, did Kafka script this? WTF is Chachi doing speaking at the RNC?

Charles at least was in charge of something -- Antonio Sabato, Jr????

Oh Steph. I'm sorry. It's a year of woe. I wish we could make it better, but all we can do is be here. I'm thinking about you both.

Someone must have googled "good speeches by first ladies" and gone from there. Like when kids just copy stuff into their papers by accident. Such an easy mistake!

This. Speaking as a teacher, that is exactly what this feels like. The changing of a few key words and rephrasing is classic student plagiarism stemming from not knowing where to start.

When the speakers were introducing Baio they kept reminding people he was Chachi so they knew who tf he was.
