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 won’t.
You won’t 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 coward’s 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 ain’t 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 won’t.
The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.
That is the only definition that matters.
@Suzierizzo1 As First Lady, the "Be Best" campaign that spent a lot of money and did nothing; destroying the Rose Garden and that hideous Christmas theme. She will always be remembered as a liar, soft porn performer and being a gold digger with an anchor baby.
She helped trump get elected with the lying excuse for his Access Hollywood taped confession of sexual assault. She named it "Boy talk" and "locker room talk"! Her cover up.
So many people covering and normalizing his sociopathic behavior, Antisocial Personality Disorder.
Sexual assault and pathological lying, damage and cruelty are symptoms of that serious disorder.
Sociopaths are only DESTRUCTIVE.
Buttigieg: It has been more than a decade now of feeling like Washington is punching you in the face every time you look at your phone or watch TV. Imagine if you could look at what was going on with your leaders and actually feel your blood pressure go down a little bit instead of up.
Nipple mutilation of a minor during a rape by trump, shocks the hell out of my conscience. If it is true, it should shock everyone’s conscience. If it is true, trump needs to be dragged out of the White House in handcuffs and shackles, and thrown into a jail cell. Today!
When Donald Trump went to see the Knicks they lost to break a 13 game winning streak. When Taylor Swift went they staged the greatest comeback in NBA playoff history. 🤔🤔🤔
"Putin's goal was for Ukraine to surrender and then extend his expansionist ambitions further. But that plan failed.
I'm convinced that Ukraine will win, recover even stronger, more prosperous. The future of Ukraine is the future of peace and freedom
Ukraine is not and will not be alone.."
- Giorgia Meloni
Prime Minister of Italy
Wow..🫡
The connections in this one interview.
Virginia Giuffre reveals Epstein trafficked her to Andrew. She’s hit by a bus then “commits suicide.”
The interviewer’s mother gets kidnapped and is still being held for ransom.
Release the Epstein files.
Tucker Carlson: As of right now, Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. It did not when this war began. Trump is not a great diplomat. He is not good at this. What we're learning is Trump is a spotty Commander in Chief and not a dealmaker.
