The White House responded to something a reality tv star, who also used to be an employee of the White House, said on a popular reality tv show about another reality tv star who is also the President of the United States. WHAT IS 2018?!

[ljaquos]

WHY TARGET THEM TOWARD WOMEN?!

Just market them as "Discreetos" and roll in the pun money!

[cootermarie]

While I do question Omarosa's motives, the White House's response left me scratching my head. If the defense is that she was "fired three times" on The Apprentice and that somehow proves her questionable character, why hire her again for a White House position? That doesn't reflect very well on Trump's judgement. You can't have it both ways.

My response to the abuse story, as I'll call it, is this: People are different when you are in a relationship with them. This is a prime example. The person can be nice and awesome to hang out with but behind closed doors, they get drunk and beat their wife or pets or are emotionally abusive. It's the same with parents that are mean with their children. To outsiders, they are respectful and nice but are the opposite to their kids. We need to not say "but they are so respectful, nice, and smart." when someone says "this person hurt me, I have proof" and/or "this person calls me garbage all the time and puts me down too much." It seriously makes people not want to speak up about their abuse stories.

Lady Doritos will reportedly crunch at 77% that of standard Doritos. #DoritosGap

If they kept firing Omarosa off The Apprentice why did they then hire her to work in the White

How she described men eating chips is exactly how i eat chips..straighten out the bag, align the crumbs, and pour into mouth. The satisfaction.

Here's my opinion on the subject of Doritos, why not release chips based on different situations of a normal working class person. The problem is not gender based, is really not of a situation based issue. Many times I am at work and wish to enjoy a bag of chips, but do to the fact that my job has me taking in packages, writing things down, plus I'm in uniform copies are to messy. So a bag of Doritos that does not make to much noise, that has as little to no mess as possible, and is easy to store, this sounds like heaven for any working class person whom has to deal with tenants, consumers, reporting, etc... Point being is that gender was not, should not, and it's not the problem, as CEO of a giant brand food company she should know the hassle of eating while working; this is not just a women's problem, but also a men's problem.

The more of the world I see the more I want to hide under my bed.

[taylorgayhart]

Let’s be real, we elected a reality TV star to be president, and he hired other reality TV stars. If you expected this to go any other way than it did, then you’re probably not the brightest.

[sirguineapig]

I would love "lady doritos" for this reason and this reason only : my brothers won't touch anything that says 'for ladies'

[timelmore]

COME ON PEOPLE. We really need to understand the difference between observation and projection. If they are doing market research and observing that this is what women TEND to say, that is an observation. If they sit in an office and decide what women should want based on their notions of women, that is a projection. Projections are stereotypes; observations are just asking people what they want to eat and then running to the kitchen to make it for them. Every good company does this for every target demographic they have. If she really wanted to clean this up, she should have said, "Our research has shown that some women..."

[burgermont]

"both his ex wifes say he abused them, but I know him from work and I know hes nice..."

[mademoisellesachaaa]

If they marketed quiet packaging, convenient to carry around, and not loud...market them to university students as lecture snacks. 3 hour lectures, you gotta feed the machine.

[KaliShurrr]

Can you guys do an episode that’s a follow up on older stories you’ve reported on? An episode around closure or something

[SHAKIRAisonfire]

As a woman, I’m not at all offended by products marketed specifically for woman. I do agree that some of them are ridiculous. Like for one, I myself buy men’s razors as they’re much cheaper and I find them to work better. I work in retail and I see that women generally do care about the packaging and how an item looks. They’re there because people buy them. Like pens, if there were more girly versions of them, I would buy them too. People need to relax, it’s not propagating anything. You get to choose to support it or not.

[Jsnshshnajbev]

I honestly don't understand the huge uproar about Doritos.... if you don't like something just don't buy it? Just vote with your dollar

My aunt was severely abused by her husband, and so I completely understand people who weren't in a relationship with Porter thinking of him as a 'polite, good guy'. My uncle was a medical professional, and at work he was courteous, knowledgeable, and well-liked. Abusers often swallow small slights in the day-to-day, letting them stew until they get home and unload on someone they think it's "ok" to take their anger out on. But as the old saying goes: someone who's nice to you but shitty to the waiter isn't a "good guy". It's what you do when no one can call you out on it that really reveals your character.
Unfortunately, this cycle is 2-sided. No one defended or explained away my uncle's actions more than my aunt did, until the night she literally had to flee for her life when he punched through her locked door with a hammer. This behavior is not ok, and should not be tolerated in those who are supposed to represent our country.
Though I am not a Trump supporter, I don't think this is just a Trump's white house issue. As we've seen in the last several months, abuse (especially of women) and excuses made for those abusers is a tragedy that is allowed to continue across the political spectrum. This should be one thing everyone on either side of the aisle can agree on: it is never ok to abuse (physically, mentally, sexually, or otherwise) someone whom you hold power over, especially if part of the nature of that power is trust. This is not--and should not--be a partisan issue.

I was with my ex fiancé for 5 years. He was smart, charming, and good looking. He did the good thing of going to college and getting a great job.

However, behind closed doors, he was a different person. Controlling, angry, and abusive. He hit me with a car and broke my ankle because he was upset at work.

You can always pretend to be someone else for a few hours, it doesn’t mean that it’s who they really are.

[pantherlady]

I don’t know why, but the term “Lady Chips” has me LMAO!!! 😂😂😂
