I don’t because look at her parents and how they live their lives in the public. I was pretty much mature at 13 or 14 and I don’t believe in the worship of shitty parents or shitty politicians. I’ve known plenty of 15 year-olds who were more capable of healthy adulting than their parents and just having a high profile and high 6 figure income doesn’t make one fit to be one. Plus my son went through something similar, which had a lot to do with his mom being a batshit crazy celebrity groupie among other things. And I was legally unable to do anything. So I guess it’s easy for me to have sympathy for the kid. ---

Kellyanne Conway was on _Real Time with Bill Maher_ on Friday. The interview is worth watching, if you have missed Mrs. Alternative Facts. Anyway, I noticed that she was not wearing a wedding ring. Has she worn a wedding ring in the past? Are things not hunky-dory at the Conway household? ---

There seem to be few photos of her that are not just head or head/shoulders. ---

Is this what the Politics and Elections forum has become. Salacious gossip about the marital status of people in the news? Sad! ---

We’ll, I opened this thread because I thought there might be news, such as that Kellyanne had repented her ways and joined the Lincoln Project or some such. But no, it’s just a bunch of yentas. But, you’re right, of course, no one is forcing me to be here. Have at it. ---

> [@mikecurtis](#): > > But no, it’s just a bunch of yentas. If I may repurpose a phrase from feminism, “the personal is the political.” The only reason I personally give a shit about George and Kellyanne’s relationship is the way in which it intersects with the political sphere. In saying this, I think I speak for most posters who have read this thread. If they were two randos from Nowhere City in a Miscellaneous American State, with zero impact on public life, I’d wish them well because I don’t arbitrarily wish harm on other people, but I’d have no investment beyond that. I’m not sure that caring if Kellyanne “repented” is morally superior to noticing that Kellyanne and George might be having marital issues due to their different responses to the Trump presidency. ---

You’re right. I was using the term in a gender non specific way and as not so much an insult as a descriptor. But I failed to consider that it has a history as a derogatory term for a female. It also comes from the yiddish culture, so I managed to insult two communities at once I apologise, and will strive to be more aware. And with that, I’m done with this thread. ---
