Maybe not knowing what I want out of life isn't so bad.
Helping my best friend chase down her dream sounds like it could be fun, and I wouldn't commit to it so strongly if I had my own goals to go after.
I'll probably just do this and see what happens.
If this was like eight years ago I'd have said my new year's resolution was to have your Da or something daft like but I think it's a sign of growth and maturity that it never even occurs to me now.
(...also we all know I've had him already, and he hasn't stopped calling since.)
He called her dumb.
He said she can't complete a sentence.
He disrespected her every chance he got.
His surrogates tried to paint her as some kind of "DEI hire" who didn't earn her position, despite being a highly accomplished District Attorney, Attorney General, Senator, and Vice President.
And then they met in debate.
He was so fucking scared, he couldn't cross the room.
He couldn't even look her in the face.
And then she EVISCERATED him.
Over and over again.
She told him to his face he was a disgrace.
She had him screaming about cats and dogs.
She had him screaming about crowd size.
He looked like a fool in front of millions.
He should be used to that.
So, of course, he's backing out of another debate.
Because he is a fucking COWARD.
He's a "hiding in his bunker" bitch.
She popped him in the mouth
And now he's saying "no mas."
Everybody knows what a chickenshit looks like.
I don't care how you MAGA clowns try to spin it.
YOU KNOW. You know in your heart he's cooked.
If he really beat her, if he was a real champion,
he'd do what all prize-fighters who won have done:
He'd grant a rematch.
Frazier gave Ali a rematch.
Ali gave Frazier 2 rematches.
Holyfield gave Tyson a rematch.
Instead, trump is hiding from Kamala.
Because she thoroughly beat his ass.
He's not an "alpha male."
He's a punk ass bitch.
I'm so sick of these so-called "undecided voters" with their "oh, I don't know enough about her."
You know she didn't RAPE anyone.
You know she wasn't convicted of 34 felonies.
You know she hasn't been indicted on 88 charges.
You know she doesn't want to be a dictator.
You know she didn't incite insurrection.
You also have a computer and/or a smartphone.
You're a grown up, FFS. When you want to learn about "do masks work" or "caravans of scary immigrants, eating pets" you know how to Google that shit. Don't wait for others to spoon feed you information, do your own research!
Go to her website!
It's real easy: https://t.co/bYdHOUoQhT
I'm sure there are probably a few real "undecided" people who have no internet access, don't own a TV, and have lived in a fucking cave on a deserted island for the past 10 years. But the rest of you? You have NO excuse.
Stop looking for attention from journalists and pretending you "need more information."
Just admit your head is up your ass.
My heart is broken๐: As friends & family know, my wife was pregnant with our 2nd child, & about to begin her 2nd trimester. A few days ago she had severe pains, & bleeding, and had to go to the emergency room. There, it was discovered that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Devastated doesn't come close to what that feels like.
Unfortunately for people like us, because of the current laws in the state of Texas, that was only the beginning of this nightmare. Jess (my wife) had an "incomplete miscarriage", and what needed to happen, what was best for HER, and her health, was to terminate the pregnancy, and get the baby out.
The doctor gave her a medication that would move this process along, and sent her home. Where, apparently we would be handling it ourselves. We were told it might take a couple of attempts before it worked.
I'll let you decide how you feel about that.
After a long, painful night of the equivalent of early labor, the baby was still with her. So, we went back to the Emergency Center to get the 2nd dose. A new doctor was on call. He was an older man. You could hear him in the hallway as he said, "I'm not giving her a pill so she can go home and have an ab*rtion!". Being well aware that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Then, he came into the room to say, and I quote: "Considering the current stance. I'm not going to prescribe you this pill". Then, just sent us on our way.
The "CURRENT STANCE"?! Did he really just say that?!
No one should ever have to hear their wife say: "Get this dead baby out of me!".
Can you even imagine how that must feel?
The pain, and the bleeding continued. So, we decided to go to another hospital, about an hour away. There was a female doctor on call there, and we thought we might have better luck.
I should probably mention, the procedure to get the baby out is called a D & C. It's scary, & traumatizing, but sometimes necessary in situations like ours. Especially in emergency circumstances.
So we get to the next hospital. They take Jess in, ask her a bunch of questions, do a new scan... confirm that the baby is still there, with no heartbeat, and then disappear... for hours. Only to come back in and keep asking the same questions over and over. It's becoming clear that they're primary concern is NOT my wife's health. Instead, they seem to be worried about the legalities involved.
So, they decide it is not "enough of an emergency" to perform the D & C.
They do, however, prescribe another, stronger, final dose of the medication for us to try again... at home.
So, we go home to try again. Another long day/night of early labor pains. Only to discover my wife UNCONSCIOUS in the bathroom. Having to pick my wife's cold, limp body off of that bathroom floor, not sure if I was about to lose her, is something I will NEVER forget.
She had to be rushed to the hospital.
By this point she had lost so much blood, and bodily fluid, her body gave out.
They were able to stabilize her, give her the fluids she needed, and we came back home yesterday afternoon. We were also able to confirm that our baby was no longer with her.
Now, not only do we have to live with the loss of our baby... we have to live with the nightmare of what we just experienced because of political and religious beliefs. MY WIFE'S HEALTH SHOULD HAVE COME FIRST. PERIOD!
God knows what mental and emotional damage this has done.
If you consider yourself a staunch "pro-lifer" ... 1) You've never been through what we just went through, and 2) You should take a long, hard look in the mirror and reevaluate your reasons for supporting such a cold, barbaric, ignorant point of view.
It's not that black & white, and it's never going to be.
If you think your "Pray To End Ab*rtion" sign in your yard is "Christian", I suggest you revisit the teachings of Jesus and try again. If you support these laws that make ab*rtion illegal, and result in people being put through what we just were, you should be ashamed of yourself. I've never been so angry, or heartbroken... and the devastation I'm feeling must pale in comparison to what my poor wife is feeling.
