October 14th, 2021 will mark 7 months since we lost our son. I spent the last week thinking about him and about the life he should’ve had. I was caught up in the moment and wrote the following poem (1/12):
@fruitcellar62@SaraLRiley@ChrisMWilliams When you've lost the argument, you resort to insults and blocking people. lol... just normal discourse on twitter I guess?
@fruitcellar62@SaraLRiley@ChrisMWilliams Fine, you don't want any foreigners in the US. That aside, show me where the State of Iowa appropriated tax dollars to fund scholarships and athlete support services at ISU or Iowa. Because outside of that, the AD's can offer scholarships to whomever they'd like.
@Jellis581@An_Aria_Blooms this. Talarico just needs to stay away from the very liberal talking points and keep in the middle: Education, Economy, and Trump's failed policies and broken promises. Don't make this about transgender rights and immigration.
@fruitcellar62@SaraLRiley@ChrisMWilliams I'm sorry, is the argument about ISU AD or AD's in general. Because ISU (and Iowa for that matter) is a self-sustaining auxiliary institutions of the university.
@LeeWard47487511@ianbremmer Does that commitment and organization still exist today? at best its been weakened somewhat. To the OP's point, its not "political hackery" to sound the alarm. This area of the world needs support in this type of crisis to prevent it from spiraling out of control.
@LeeWard47487511@ianbremmer 2014-2016 was a major outbreak, albeit in W. Africa, that required a major international response to contain it. Not new does not mean not serious.
@LeeWard47487511@ianbremmer 45 deaths over a year vs. 80 in a couple of weeks. One is a sign of potential outbreak while another is a smattering of isolated cases.
@ZachLahn@elcorncapitan@ZachLahn appreciate you responding to Ryan. I'd love to see some specific examples of how your free speech and religious liberty and association have been eroded. Thanks.
Seth Meyers reminds us how batshit crazy the last 3 weeks have been: Trump fired AG Pam Bondi. He posted a meme of himself as Jesus then said he thought it was a meme of himself as a doctor. He said the Pope is weak on crime. A MAGA podcaster said Trump is under demonic influence. Pete Hegseth read a fake bible verse from Pulp Fiction. Kash Patel thought he was fired because he got locked out of his computer. A FEMA official claims he once teleported to a Waffle House. Lindsey Graham was seen at Disney World by himself. RFK Jr. cut off a dead raccoon’s penis on the side of the road. Kristi Noem’s husband has giant fake balloon boobs.
