“Lena Dunham says she is skinnier because of Donald Trump”
Sorry, just having a catty moment here. Our celebrities always have a way of writing their own punch lines.
“Donald Trump became president and I stopped being able to eat food… Everyone’s been asking like, ‘What have you been doing?’ And I’m like, ‘Try soul-crushing pain and devastation and hopelessness, and you, too, will lose weight.’”
When our extremely well off, talentless, over pampered, celebrity class starts whining about their “soul crushing pain,” I tend to lose my cookies. Soul crushing pain is knowing a talentless twit like Lena is in the world making millions of dollars in undeserved book deals AND loosing weight, while I’m chasing the never-ending Holy Grail of just keeping the lights on.

But on the “When Life gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade” bright side, Lena can now create, publish and market the “Soul Crushing Pain” Diet. She might do real well!

I think that the left doesn’t realize that people on the right were equally outraged by Obama’s election. The only difference is in the way that each side has responded. In the case of the left, without…hmmm….what was that word that they used during the Bush years? Oh yeah. Gravitas.

Soul crushing. Nice.
Now you bring up another good point here. The wrong perception that believers should not be tough as nails while also being sweet as honey.
It’s a dance you would say.
Here we are, come roll over us with your steamroller. We are believers and we lay down our lives for your convenience! No!
Wrong is wrong, and God gave us mouths to point to daylight. I guess I would be abraded for citing the word ‘bastard,’ yet it is the stolen and improper usage that has assigned a meaning never intended.
I say ‘press on’ dmanit. 😉

Ugh. I’m probably way far on the left end of the spectrum compared to most of your readers, and even I find Lena Dunham absolutely insufferable. In a way, I’m somewhat fascinated by the bizarro world that is her headspace, but I know if I even try to scratch the surface, I’d probably run away screaming in terror. And I write horror fiction for a living.

This is an example of a woman who is allowing Trump to have way too much power over her life. This is not the way to react t him.
So far, I have many criticisms of Trump’s character and policy, but I use it to laugh at him at times, and other times I use it to take a stand and make a difference in the way I want to. Use him for your own betterment. She may have lost weight, but by being depressed, which isn’t good.
Jeffrey Wright tweeted, “May the election of Trump bring forth the fiercest, smartest, toughest generation of ass-kicking women this country could possibly imagine.”
Guess what, both Trump supporters and Trump haters love that quote. Because it doesn’t matter if you love him or hate him, using him to be better and take a stand is a positive thing.
You know, I lost 15 pounds in one month when my mom passed away. To me, that’s a legit reason to be depressed and lose weight. But then again, I almost wound up at the hospital myself during that time because I was too malnutritioned.

Well there you go! Love him or hate him, if he drives people to be better, then that’s a good thing.
The message Lena is sending to girls who may not know better is pretty appalling, too. As if you can or should just starve yourself as a kind of protest.

Ha, Ha, Ha … the fat cats are ‘losing’ weight? Ironically, the underling meaning of ‘hypocrite’ is ‘false-faced’ – as in masquerading – pretending to be something your NOT, acting as a character in representation of a personified ideology. The ‘entertaining community’ lives in an alter-reality where their rhetoric actually has replaced truth with meaningless relativity – which is amusing when desiring a good fantasy read – but NOT for interpreting real life!

I don’t know this woman, don’t care to know this woman just as I care not for the majority of the acting and entertaining sector of our society—I’ve basically stopped watching current-day movies, most of television etc and never watched things like Oscars and Grammies—as the entire lot is a bunch of tiresome spoiled brats who leave me bored with their behavior—over payed winning, “beautiful” people who seem to enjoy themselves more than anything or anyone else sadly—empty shallow folks who have forgotten their job is to act and entertain…that’s it—a position where they are paid enormous amounts of money to make us laugh or cry—to play a character…for pure entertainment’s sake—and yet they have decided their role is that of educator…I think not…..
if one of them quits eating due to a presidential election, well, may they just go spend their time at any homeless shelter or soup kitchen scattered around this country and see how the “real” people fight to live…..

We have one TV in house. My lady watches it. She doesn’t need cable. Because of the aluminum siding the antenna (rabbit ears) does not work well (no local channels). Apparently, we get satellite signals through the roof. Whatever it is my lady likes watching the news from France. It is in English mostly, but she can speak French. So it doesn’t matter to her which language they use. Also, they cover the major US news events.
