Progressive, Humanist, Generation Jones. I have no idea what I’m doing here - why I’m spinning on this planet. But as I fumble around with all the rest of you I hope to have made something, somewhere just a little bit better.

So humiliating that he just keeps begging for the Nobel & then all but cries when he doesn’t get it. He wasn’t at all embarrassed to take the award off Machado last year or to take the totally made up FIFA award & here we are again. Jeezus, give the toddler a lolly and put him down for nap already.

That sounds perfectly reasonable. Also, “about my age“ includes people my children graduated HS with because they all aged illegally. Nobody gave them permission to get this old so fast. And anyone that talks about the 90’s like it was some time in the distant past needs to shut their filthy mouth.

Someone must be up in his ear telling him that this comment didn’t land well with voters bc now he’s obsessed with repeating it with little modifications to try & spin it. Liars know how to bend things around. They know if they repeat a lie enough times it becomes truth.

He’s been calling people like us an enemy of the state for a long time now. I don’t care what he calls us but I do care a great deal that his knuckle-head followers believe him. This is how we got the insurrection. Now that he’s released all these criminals from prison who knows what is in store.

Trump wanted to be a movie star, like Hitler wanted to be an artist. If Hollywood had just let him get famous, instead of a monstrous leader-creating monuments to himself & burning the world down on his way to the grave-we could have had another Chuck Norris (or more accurately, Tommy Wiseau).

It works for abusing children, just call 12yr old girls “underaged women” and suddenly it doesn’t sound so bad.

I had a Hamster named, “Theodoric of York, Medieval Hamster.” Everyone called him “Teddy.” He was fine with it. However I am mildly annoyed that although my first name is the diminutive form of a rather ostentatious name, some people like to call me by this long name. Just stop! I’m not that fancy.

Seriously? On the heels of the FBI’s new looser regulations that include a pass for beastiality, this guy is trying to fear monger that someone in the flight industry might like to dress up like an animal in their spare time. That’s wild.

I laughed, then I cried, then I seethed. I’m so sick of this backwards, sorry excuse for a state. If someone wants to pay to relocate me, my children, and grandchildren we’ll be gone before you can blink.

What do you expect from a guy whose experience has taught him that all you need to qualify as an ‘opinion columnist’ is to be a white guy with an opinion. Being informed or educated obviously doesn’t enter into it.

I’m suddenly reminded of the scene in Amadeus when the emperor attends the rehearsal after Amadeus is told that there can be no ballet in the opera. I know I’m not alone in loving this for Trump. We need more of this energy all the time.

I was lucky, my dad lived to be nearly 90 but I lost my husband & my children lost their father when he was roughly the age your dad was. He never got to retire, never got to meet all his grandchildren. Too old to be considered young and yet far too young to die. Sorry you had this in your life too.

Sounds tasty but pretending it’s some kind of healthy diet is right up there with watering your plants with ‘Brawndo,’ because it’s got the electrolytes that plants crave and water -eww - comes out of the toilet.

People ‘stealing’ Medicaid, living in their parents’ basement & now grandparents stealing hospice by living too long. Reagan started it with his ‘welfare queen’ schtick & it worked so well for them that they keep kicking it up a notch. Those who aren‘t wealthy should die, unless they are the unborn.

Truth used to matter. It’s not that politicians *didn’t* lie - but they did at least have to tell a plausible lie or involve a lot of people in a fragile cover up. Now they dead eye you while they piss on your leg and tell you it’s raining. They know you know they’re lying & it just doesn’t matter.

I seldom eat beef so it’s not a hardship for me to just disregard it due to price and safety. But the produce bit has me worried. I really rely on my fruits and veggies and I especially love salads so losing out on eating raw produce would be tough on me. I’m really lucky to live near a Costco.

Religious freedom means you can neglect your child to death in the name of your god. You also get to control the wombs of complete strangers. Oh, and once a doctor looks at your genitals and pronounces a sex, religious people get to control your gender. All this while feeling oppressed.

Rumors are one thing but this kiss looks like they were both forced to kiss on a dare. Now we have rumors, this picture & the story from Chef Joe Gera. I don’t care about Hawley’s orientation. Or if he & his wife have an arrangement for their mutual happiness. But I do care about his hypocrisy.

I saw that live and two thoughts ran though my head right on top of the other, the first was that I understood what she was saying and thought, “She’s not wrong” But also, I knew she would pay dearly for it - both from those who understood it and also from those who did not.

Truth My friend had to convince her husband that she loved him as he wielded a knife & a gun, promising to carve her up & then shoot himself. It took her days to plan her safe getaway. The entire time she had to play along with a guy who had lowkey abused her for years until one day he snapped.

My husband died from cancer & trust me when I tell you that the current laws surrounding work, SSI, Medicare & health insurance are barbaric enough. But clearly the GOP is willing to dig a trench in order to lower a bar that is already sitting on the ground.

YUp. His early brags about not using a teleprompter were obviously his way to cover for the fact that he struggles with reading. Noel has been really outspoken about Trumps rapey behavior, his drug abuse, etc. And Mr. Sue-Everyone has never even whispered of suing Casler because discovery exists.

I have a daughter who is 100% tube fed. For her entire life I’ve had to endure glares from strangers when we would go to a restaurant without ordering her food. Rude stares & evangelicals stopping us to recruit or pray for us is a constant theme. We had to develop a thick skin. I feel ya.

This was me for a good long time. Other people needed me so I kept choosing one more day. What made it worse was that I DID feel I had to suffer alone. When people depend on you, it’s really tough to show them that you’re breaking. ((((Hugs))))

I think someone just told him about the Red Scare so he’s trying it out to see if it will work again. This is pretty much the playbook of the far right. They can’t entice people to their side with policy so they scare them over with culture wars and fears of ‘the other’.

I never understood how/why so many people were willing to make excuses for the many troubling things that kept coming out about this guy. I honestly began to doubt my own gut from hearing so many people downplaying the various issues. This all could have been so easily avoided.

Wow. I didn’t know about this last bit. Why it should matter who this woman is, is beyond me. But of course the white nationalists, cosplaying as Christians, have to find a way to demonize the woman to take focus off their fascist sons.

This isn’t true. Just bc you believe everyone you know locks their doors doesn’t mean the vast majority of people you don’t know also 100% lock their doors. You may be right in a majority of cases but I personally know I’ve accidentally neglected to lock my door. Once I left it wide open by mistake.

Same. I’ve never had a door that locked on it’s own. All my doors require me to turn a bolt after I’m inside. A couple of mornings I woke up & noticed that I slept all night with my door unlocked because a guest let themselves out or I came into the house with hands full & forgot to lock the door.

Rob Reiner as George Washington in the final sketch of “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness” was a delightful thing to see. Watch it if you have the opportunity.
