You are angry. Okay. You're VERY angry. I hope you are able to find an appropriate outlet for your anger. But I ain't your Huckleberry.

When "sad needy children" in adult bodies sit at the helm of government agencies, corporations, educational establishments, and generally exist across the general population, we need a societal corrective that will be long in coming. However, some mature adults are available. And we vote for them.
How about we label programs with liars, war mongers, and spreaders of bigotry as inappropriate for children.
"[T]he administration is saying that by paying informants to infiltrate and expose domestic extremist groups, the SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center) was supporting those groups. If you think that’s stupid, you’re right." Miles Taylor, Defiance News
Understanding how someone became who they are without condoning their behavior requires holding opposing thoughts at the same time. It's what Liberals are supposed to be able to do. And it's how we use our rational brain without acting compulsively - and making rash accusations.
Abused children need someone to protect them and who can act as buffer. Donald was separated from his mother for an long period when he was about 2. With their primary emotional attachment broken, any child will be profoundly impacted. The rest of Donald's life has been spent in survival mode.
Donald's father, according to his granddaughter, psychologist Mary Trump, author of Too Much and Never Enough, was a psychopath. While he spoiled his golden-child son, he did not give his children unconditional love, but was driven by excessive greed. It was all about looks.
Healthcare consumer nightmare: nurses staffed by AI, without regulations. "Uber for Nurses" is all about billion $ tech companies lobbying states to have nurses bid on jobs, "dropping them into all kinds of places, without orientation, without workers’ comp, without any way to protect themselves."
"The belief in the preeminence of hue and hair, the notion that these factors can correctly organize a society...is the new idea at the heart of these new people who have been brought up hopelessly, tragically, deceitfully, to believe that they are white.” Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me
I always thought Jane married Dick!
Love the Venn diagram model. Would love to see an actual graphic!
Ask him who he's going to be working for when he leaves Congress.
Judges hold our destiny in their hands.
The safety and sanctity of our natural resources should be inviolable. Not for sale, not up for discussion. Why is Congress even voting on this?
Can someone tell me how the Russian Xfinity technician who came out to check our internet connection was able to get a green card in two years? When I asked him where he was from, and how long he'd been here, he answered using excellent English Gee. I thought getting a green card took much longer.
It takes quality people to know quality.
Funny how Carlson just developed a conscience. I was under the impression that empathy is a function of right-brain development occurring during infancy.
Not only Kash Patel. The entire administration should be in therapy. Because addiction of any kind goes back to earliest childhood. And they need to come out of denial.
The MAGA faithful showing up at a rally with bandages on their ears was disgusting. Someone died for the sake of his ratings.
Isaiah 14:16-17 -
16 "Those who see you will gaze at you,
And consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,
17 Who made the world as a wilderness
And destroyed its cities,
Who [a]did not open the house of his prisoners?’"
[a] Would not release his prisoners.
I do think a lot of people go to church to have their bigoted, right-wing Conservative views reinforced. When a church member wouldn't speak to me after I said I was against the War in Iraq, I knew it was time to quit. They were there to connect with their cult.
The last time I was in a church, the pastor told the congregation how many guns he owned. I wish we'd gotten up and left. Before that, at a different church when GW Bush was running, the pastor said a vote against the war was a vote for the devil, and our kid, a new 2nd. lt., was headed for Iraq.
Tell every MAGA member of Congress that this is what they voted for, in states where they need to be reelected. They are NOT for the people.
Thank you Don Lemon - and Georgia Fort the Formidable. You are heroes.
Trauma is what happens in the body because of what happened to you. Medical trauma is a real thing. Take care of yourself.
"Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination." Willy Wonka
I don't know why abortions are illegal but men can get a script for Viagra no problem.
Tonight at Trader Joe's I saw a dog being carried in a backpack, his "daddy" slipping him treats every so often. I know children who aren't treated that well.
I remember the time when builders had to foot the bill for gutters and sidewalks and cross walks where they were developing. Now they get tax breaks for the privilege of making money at the tax payers' expense.
Accountability for the perpetrators is very important. It gives them a chance for them to grasp that they did harm to others, and decide, "Yeah, I woulda done stuff differently," or "Hell no, I'd do it all again."
