@RebeccaMAR66920 @Bernard_Lane no, that denial of treatment caused me to develop Major Depressive Disorder, and it caused my dissociative mind to get worse. had i recieved that care when i was a child, i wouldn’t be as depressed as i am today.

@deadsnowbunny @Snowcookie_3 @Bernard_Lane it is, my doctor went over every single side effect and not only informed me which ones were irreversible, but he also informed me how long it would take to see changes and what else to expect while making sure I was okay with each individual side effect.

@I_eat_grifters @goosetooths they don’t even stop an active threat, they just show up after the stuff is done. there’s no reason to call police unless you know about a future threat or to file a report for insurance

@WhiteHouse yeah, they never would’ve been near $4 if the president of pedo’s didn’t go to war with a random country for no reason.

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter

P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.

@ThomasWNorman @MattWalshBlog what about the ones the christians killed? should we ignore those?

[| mike | he/él | @Mvdestine]

@ThomasWNorman @MattWalshBlog how many did the europeans sacrifice?

[| mike | he/él | @Mvdestine]

@ThomasWNorman @MattWalshBlog even the ones that were born on the land before immigrants came and took it over, right? back when indigenous people lived peacefully, and we came in and killed them to take over their land by force?

@jorknthegorkn @MattMurdcock67 @HoopsCrave isn’t it funny that they met when she was applying for a position in his company though? and now he’s dead and she owns his company

@ThomasWNorman @MattWalshBlog the common ancestry is the US, and the language is most often English but can be both English and Spanish as well as many others considering the US has no official language! The more you know 🫶

@ThomasWNorman @msmaureen90 @JFGariepy in that case we have no conversation, so have a good day.

[| mike | he/él | @Mvdestine]

@ThomasWNorman @msmaureen90 @JFGariepy i’d rather stay on topic, thanks.

do you think it’s okay to take a life that can feel pain so long as it’s not sentient?

[| mike | he/él | @Mvdestine]

@_Jacobinho @IntroOreo @lxwercaseh do you assume everyone acts like the people in Seattle? we have other places in the world bro 😭

[| mike | he/él | @Mvdestine]

@ThomasWNorman @msmaureen90 @JFGariepy so if something can feel pain but isn’t sentient, it’s okay to kill it is what i’m gathering

[| mike | he/él | @Mvdestine]

@_Jacobinho @IntroOreo @lxwercaseh i take it you’ve never met a trans person

[| mike | he/él | @Mvdestine]

@ThomasWNorman @msmaureen90 @JFGariepy so you don’t kill mice, rats, insects, or other parasites, right? because those are also alive, albeit more so than a fetus is.

[| mike | he/él | @Mvdestine]

@ThomasWNorman @msmaureen90 @JFGariepy what level of sentience stops being worthy of life to you? you’re okay with murdering sentient animals that can and do feel pain, but you’re not okay with ending a clump of cells that has no sentience or cognitive ability to process pain?

[| mike | he/él | @Mvdestine]

@lasagna4me33 @SinfullySweetVT @IntroOreo @lxwercaseh and you just tried to be a dick and STILL failed somehow so you’re one to talk lol
