Piretra: I think about what the people need in this moment, it is not men in a cage, shirtless, lubricated, fighting each other under a Budweiser sign. Health care is unaffordable.ย
People voted for Trump because they believe that he was going to make their lives more affordable. But instead, what we're getting is this mix between an 80 year old birthday party and a pride parade.
Michaelson: You're saying this a pride parade?
Piretra: It's giving pride parade. It's kind of giving something we'd see in West Hollywood on a good weekend.
@ArtTherapy73 Hope youโre doing well, I think about you often. So much going on right now but once things settle, Iโm definitely gonna reach out to you. Stay happy.
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epsteinโs banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: โBut what about your paintings, Hunter?โ
Please.
Thanks I forgot:
Joe Biden received 81 million votes. More than any candidate for President in the history of this country. It was a total landslide. A wipe out of historic proportions. He then went on to pass more bipartisan legislation than any President since LBJ. Conversely Donald Trump has not done much except start a war no one wanted doubled inflation expanded the trade deficit to historic highs and enriched himself and his family to the tune of billions of dollars.
@aziz0nomics Meanwhile supporting a man who started a war no wanted to cover up whatโs in the Epstein files is apparently cool with all of you. Self righteous hypocrites.
Rep. @RobertGarcia: Top administration officials are sitting around the Situation Room, planning strategy on how to cover up the Epstein files. They're talking about how to ensure that Trump's name does not appear in the files. Vance suggested that Tucker Carlson interview Ghislaine Maxwell to exonerate Trump. We now know that Vance has been directly involved in this massive cover up
Rep. @RobertGarcia: The Epstein issue is the most bipartisan issue in the country. Democrats and Republicans agree there has to be a full release and disclosure. JD Vance has a lot to answer for as to why he is sitting in the situation room discussing strategy on how to exonerate Trump
To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:
Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.
You wonโt.
You wonโt because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.
That is not who we are.
My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the cowardโs way out more times than I can count.
For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.
I no longer believe that.
Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.
And it sure as hell ainโt the critic that counts.
That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.
Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.
Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.
Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?
We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.
So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.
You wonโt.
The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.
That is the only definition that matters.
@LePapillonBlu2@VaButtigieg Oh my goodness, Iโm so worried. What if Trump gets electrocuted with lightning? The thought of it makes me so very incredibly sad.
