la Cruela: Cruelabuela: Send Children Back to Violence, But Thousand Dollar Stroller for Grandkid:

Last edited Thu Feb 18, 2016, 02:21 PM - Edit history (3)

(updated, with thanks to thereismore for "cruelabuela&quot

(hope the terms gets legs)


Hillary Clinton said: Send the children back to the violence in Central America.



Meanwhile: her own children and grandchild:


Here's What Chelsea Clinton's $10.3 Million Apartment Looks Like









Rich celebukid Chelsea Clinton and her other side of the tracks husband Marc Mezvinsky will move into a 5,000 square-foot prewar apartment with expectedly high ceilings, shiny hardwood floors, and park views. The Whitman, a 1924 building by Madison Square Park in NoMad, is very close to their loft in Gramercy


The sleek apartment also boasts a marble cave of a bathroom, a space-age kitchen, four bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms, a key locked elevator, and a "Refrigerated Package Room" for who knows what—probably strictly for Harry & David deliveries

After his time at Stanford, Mezvinsky went on to work as an investment banker. In a March profile for The New York Times, Mezvinsky was described as being well-connected to some of the Clinton's richest supporters. After working at Goldman Sachs for eight years, Mezvinsky helped found a hedge fund firm, Eaglevale Partners, and tens of millions of dollars raised by the group has some connection to the Clintons

like so many of the cheaper ones?

Nice apartment. Chelsea is smart; fortunate to be part of the lucky sperm/ova club. Other peoples' kids: not so much.

When you have that much money, spending $1,000 for a stroller feels the same as you or me buying a roll of scotch tape.
I don't struggle with my conscience over that. Why should the uber wealthy?

I grew up in a 10,000 sq foot house, but it was filled with color and warmth, even the formal rooms.

"[My abuela's] back holds the weight of generations of Latinx women who have survived colonization, dictatorships, imperialism and forced migration"
My grandmother still lives with my family. She never fully recovered and can now barely walk or move. Can you relate to that, Hillary?
See, Hillary, you are not just like my abuela. In fact, you are nothing like her. The U.S. immigration regime did not keep you from seeing your third granddaughter learn to walk. It has not kept you immobile for nine years. It has not separated you from the culture or the language you know, from the place you call home.
You cannot intersperse a few words in Spanish and a couple references to what your staff assumes to be a Latinx culture, and then call yourself our abuela. My abuela does not have your level of fame or your educational status; she does not possess your international influence or your impressive collection of pantsuits.
Pero mi abuela holds a thousand stories in her eyes alone. Her hands speak of struggle and her back holds the weight of generations of Latinx women who have survived colonization, dictatorships, imperialism and forced migration. She is incomparable.
