There's a video of a woman telling the story of a date she had with an NBA player where she told him she was a challenging woman thinking it would get him to want to rise to the challenge, and instead he responded by saying "why would I want a woman who makes my life harder?"
@rjames1928@Don_Dangerously@ksorbs It is an awkward place to be when you’re in a close family. At this point, my instinct is to protect my octogenarian parents as much as possible, within reason (and gauged from their cognizance). The blue skies we saw together… the current reality makes it difficult to pretend.
@liz_churchill10 It tracks, and I hate it. This was his end. It was and is essential that this story become representative of the obvious current dynamic.
It’s a multi-layered thing. Reagan did a mass amnesty. After that (among some other stuff) came OJ, the “too big to fail” bs, a ton of other government overreach, Obama willfully igniting a race war and screwing our medical system, identity politics, Covid, Trump (which, thanks to activist, mainstream media, made a significant percentage of people totally crazy). To top it off, people of all ages are encouraged to crash out if they don’t get their way. It’s a big ol’ thing. And it even started before that.
@Don_Dangerously@ksorbs It all sounds simplistic, kitschy, or absurd to them, and I understand why. It was true, though, and we were there. Reality matters.
🚨 NOW: Trump CMS Chief Dr. Mehmet Oz just teamed up with NICK SHIRLEY to go on the ground and bust fraudsters in New York
OZ: "In Queens, NY alone, social adult daycares generate $2.1 BILLION." 🤯
This is what the people demand, NEVER stop hunting down fraud! @nickshirleyy
