WTF!

R E A L L Y ? You're proud someone served in the administration that let a sex trafficker get off with a mere slap on the wrist?

Collins was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1996. She was re-elected in 2002, 2008, and 2014.


Never forget if she runs for re-election in 2020, she voted to confirm Kavanaugh

[homoe]

Why is this headline news? "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Paid $300 for a Haircut and Highlights" Is it just because she's female?

The only time I remember a headline about a male's 'do' was "Bill Clinton Held Up LAX Air Traffic for Haircut".

Liar Liar pants on fire.....

Hair is expensive! I bet even more so in DC. Is she supposed to cut her own hair? Do the men?

Especially female's hair. A simple trim is waaay more expensive than a male's. And she has long hair, which cost more to do anything with, be it cut, color or style. I bet the cost would come down real fast if men were charged the same.

When I was young and had long hair I paid around 125 dollars once. That did include more than just a haircut, however that same work today would probably cost what she spent if she went to a salon, if not more. True she doesn't have to go to a salon but then think about it, none of us really have to go anywhere to get our hair cut. Just stick a bowl on our head, trim around it and there you go. The cost of some scissors and the bowl to set you up for the rest of your life. Well depending on how young, how clumsy you are, you might have to replace the scissors, or get a new bowl if you drop and break it, didn't think to use a plastic one. My mother has a pair of scissors passed down from her grandmother that she used to sew my oldest son clothes, wedding dresses, many things for numerous women, all sorts of stuff. They were well used by the time my mother got them, well used after. If things are well made and you take care of them you don't have to replace them all the time. Like you have to do with a lot of the cheap crap that's brought in from other countries today. Stuff pretty much designed to fail so you have to keep buying more and more. Anyhow if we all just stuck with bowl cuts that would probably be the cheapest way to go, fair and square, for everyone.

Doubtless, the price would come down if costs were applied universally. The real problem is that the trolls would mock her anyway. She's photographed a great deal and she often appears on television. She would be a fool to look less than perfect every day, and that does cost extra money. If her hair looked sub-par they would attack her with even greater zeal.

PS: I pay $200 to get my hair done. AOC's hair is much longer than mine, and no one is taking my picture these days.

It's sad that the main focus is a haircut. Who cares.

Secondly while our country is going downhill where some people cant afford a haircut or are homeless, these huge politicians are spending a huge amount of money on bs and yes that includes Trump.

When will there be term limits and when will politician's start to live like real people?

Exactly. This is the same shite they used on Hillary Clinton. Femaleness is the problem. Just like when we were 13 years old. Anything, and every single female thing, about us is mockable.

And you know, how Trump talks about women, if she didn't keep up a nice appearance he'd most likely bash her for letting herself go..........

When my hair was at its longest length and I was coloring it and getting it chemically straightened at the same time, that would cost me well over $200 each time.

I love that you have something that's been passed down through the generations. I don't have anything like that, except genetics, so it's nice to hear stories like that.

So, we were having a lovely meal at a nice lakeside restaurant on the north shore last evening. I happened to glance over to my left at one point and noticed a woman (in her 70's) sitting next to an even older woman. The younger of the two made a knuckled fist and HIT the older woman in her face!

Oh My God! I could not believe what I was observing. Immediately, the younger woman reached over again and grabbed the older one roughly by the wrist and yanked! My dinner mates asked what was wrong (the expression on my face must have been one of horror.) I told them and a nearby server what had transpired. All she said was they would keep an eye on the situation.

This woman had absolutely no qualms being in a public place and abusing the older woman. She never glanced around to see if she was being watched. I wanted to make a big deal and call the police, but my companions talked me out of it and the wait staff assured me they were watching. BUT! the damage was already done. Right?

Questions linger this morning. Did the older woman live with the younger one? Are they related? Does the older one live in a nursing home?

I am imagining the torture that is happening when not in public. Sad and upset beyond words.

That is so scary. Very WTF!

maybe they were related or not ~ or maybe the younger of the 2 could be stage 2 alzheimers where they can start to get physical or just violent cause she is mean ~ I'm hoping for the first scenario that she has some sort of brain dementia. I'm soo sorry u had that scene instilled in your memory.

At the risk of beating a dead horse, it's her money! She should be able to dispense it as she deems necessary........
