From personal experience....the guy just creeps me out. I wouldn't leave a kid alone within 50 yards of him.

... this sounds like bullshit. (a) Lots of people worked for the communists in the single-party era who were not ideologically communist anyway - Boris Yeltsin was CP boss in his home town (b) There is no Communist Party of Slovenia any more, their successor party are mainstream centre-leftists; (c) Slovenian Communists were never pro-Russian anyway after Tito told Stalin to get lost in 1948. Source please?

She could have not-married him. Plenty of rich, less-loathsome guys in NYC. She's as repulsive as he, albeit in a quieter way, and she deserves contempt. (Btw, I was introduced to this generation of Wonkette bc I was seeking info on something I'd heard, about rubbing Barron with lotion, and I came across this gem:https://wonkette.com/511665...

Fluency requires more than a decent vocab -- it also requires mastery of syntax, and hers is fucked-up. I am not one to insist that immigrants become fluent, but in her case, YES -- once it was clear that Dump was running, his pipples should have insisted on intensive tutoring. Tho I guess she's as averse to Real Work as is he.

But you gotta give HRC credit. Yes, there's lots these days to dislike about her (coziness w Wall $treet) -- but ffs, she absolutely smashed the ceiling for first ladies. And she laid the groundwork for healthcare. She was a pioneer, and she has paid a heavy price for that; she deserves recognition and some gratitude.

Not any more, she ain't. If she isn't sharing an abode with him, she isn't earning those bigbux and she isn't doing penance for the sin of marrying for $$. The bigger the fortune -- and the bigger the turd married -- the bigger the penance required.

They might like Horton Hears a Who. And, when your son is older, he might like the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle series. A Wrinkle in Time. The Enchanted Tollbooth. From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.
