Facts.
Funny, just debating this the other night with some co-workers over Trump's latest wife Melania, they were trying to convince me, "But it was LOVVVVVVVE. Can't you tell...? She stuck with him even after Biden STOLE the elections." haha...Yeah, sure guys. Gotta love'em. Still my buds though, through thick and thin, but I digress ;)
The gold digging reality IS all-too normalized IMHO, i.e.the "genetic" angle (joking or not..it's true, and an open secret IMAO), fun to get into as I quickly finish this meh cup of coffee...but I need the caffeine, sooo gives me something to kill time as I choke it down...but again I digress*
P.S. Embarrassing anecdote to share, BUT...When I was a kid, raised by hippie-turned-yuppie parents that could've easily starred as supporting characters in that awful late 80's show "Thirtysomething" (which I was exposed to ALL too often, yikes!) they loved ALL things Jane Fonda and I mean ALL things. Even her fap-bait scam 80s workout videos.
So, of course, as an impressionable young lad, I had an innocent crush on her.*cue cringe*
Then she got with Ted Turner and, even in my own naive way, I was like, "Oh, she's just trading up!" Heartbroken then for reasons I only barely understood (reasons you mentioned here, etc). This sorta of thing of the gold-digger is as old as time itself of course, SO I'm not saying Fonda was the first. But IMHO Jane Fonda was the backwards-ass-pioneer-of-sorts for our post-POST-modern age which started with BetaTrump (Reagan) and now has metastasized under Reagan 2.0 iOS edition (Trump). A trendsetter (if you can call her that) in our art-impersonating-life-impersonating-art anti-reality era, given her politicizing-as-showboating-sellout move, etc. She's a political activist (or at least was) so it's close enough.
P.P.S. Another cringey example (albeit non-politician)- actor Amy Irving had enough sense to trick poor ole Steven Spielberg into signing their prenup on a napkin whilst drunk at a restaurant one night (true story) so she could later dispute the validity of that contract and run off with nearly half of his fortune. Gee, think he made that mistake twice with Kate Capshaw? Nopppppe.LOL!
"Liars" indeed.
Ok, lunch break over. Back to the grind. Happily buzzed now, and no worse for wear from said shit cup of coffee (though gonna rib my Trump-supporting boss- one of my aforementioned "buddies"- for failing to change the filter, forcing me to...and again, I digress)
ttfn :)
