(Next to Trump and the soon to be influx of American immigrants, of course).Guns in schools?! - Okay, lady!! WTF? Shouldn't one have at least a teaching degree and/or some kind of relevant experience in order to be considered for a position with "Education" in the title?? I have no words ...

I watched her get torn apart during her sessions on CSPAN and just, good god man. How the hell did she get nominated for that position.

My thing about Brian is, I wish he'd just stop talking about Trump. I don't hate him for his views and I don't think I can really lol unless he goes VERY extreme (like "alt right" levels). My fandom goes too deep. But I wish he'd either find a way to be nicer or not say anything at all. Blaming Vegas as why they didn't perform for Trump and telling others to chill out about Trump just doesn't do him any favors with their fanbase. I'm honestly most annoyed at him implying that the others were okay with performing for the inauguration if not for the residency.
And I'm pretty sure it's why 3/4 BSBs posted Obama related posts since that TMZ video. Leighanne was in the comments defending herself on Rochelle's IG after saying it must be nice to "not be bullied for her political views" and it's like, this is why fans are staying mad about this. Politics are a divisive topic if you're not careful and either way you should be prepared for others to react.

LOL It annoys me that he didn't go to lunch with them.

I saw that this morning. Brian posted a picture of him and Baylee at a basketball game, so he probably did his usual family before BSB - I'm going to get there at the last possible second to spend every minute with my own creepy, Trump loving family - thing lol
I'm sure he came up in conversation more than once. It was nice seeing them all together.

It sounds like she had some complications after having Baylee and doesn't have all the parts for it any more. I do think they probably would have had at least one more if they could have.
My sister drives me nuts, but I do think it would have been lonely being an only child.

Oh, I didn't know that. Every time anyone asked Brian if they were ever going to have another kid, he shot it down like they didn't want one, so I just assumed they were one and done. I know this seems horrible to say and it probably does speak how I truly feel about them sometimes, but I could see them thinking adoption was beneath them somehow. Sad, but true.

Yeah, I'm sure they didn't appreciate that answer, but then again he was most likely caught off guard and ironically didn't want to look bad, not realizing most of the free world thinks Trump is a lunatic who has no right being a leader of anything.
I hate when people speak on my behalf about anything. Like when someone says ""We all still love and support you!" Or something like that. It drives me bonkers so I can see them being agitated, especially his cousin lol he seems like a don't speak on behalf of me kind of guy.
