@NormalGayPsych @Superfluous_N25 Of course you don’t, you’re not gay! Just a controlled opp bot. Smell you a mile away!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

Things the recovery industry will not tell you:

1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure.
A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there.
The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists.

2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal.

3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops.

4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there.

5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page.

6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak.

7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes)

8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you.

9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in.

10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.

@NormalGayPsych How ignorant to assert that gay civil rights is settled. It’s as fluid as minority voting district protections in red states.

[santo tomás @PacNWDigitalGuy]

@RedHotFuzz @Katy_Faust Why rail on a small handful of gay parents when millions of heterosexual men and women are breaking up their families and causing much larger cultural damage. Get a perspective man.

[santo tomás @PacNWDigitalGuy]

@glennbeck Mormons are closer to Christ than Donald Trump that much is obvi.

[santo tomás @PacNWDigitalGuy]

@RedHotFuzz @Katy_Faust Then let’s outlaw divorce and force families to stay together. Or does that hit too hard for ya?

[santo tomás @PacNWDigitalGuy]

@Katy_Faust Now tell the tens of millions of stories of children who had to struggle through heterosexual divorce, Katy. Where’s the bill to outlaw that?

[santo tomás @PacNWDigitalGuy]

@ChristandGuitar @PatsKam You Christianists definitely come through loud and clear as desperate.

[santo tomás @PacNWDigitalGuy]

@PatsKam Even better… love the haters but hate the hate.

[santo tomás @PacNWDigitalGuy]

@OperHealAmerica Sucks to be a religious fascist who lives in a non-theocratic pluralistic democracy!

[santo tomás @PacNWDigitalGuy]

@DavidFischer Church attendance data proves you dramatically wrong.

[santo tomás @PacNWDigitalGuy]

@DMPacer @megbasham Divorce causes immense problems. Ready to ban it too? If not you’re a phony.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

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 Epstein’s 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: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

[santo tomás @PacNWDigitalGuy]

@ULookRight @Katy_Faust Talk to Donald Trump about undignified behavior buddy.

[santo tomás @PacNWDigitalGuy]

@Katy_Faust If you met my husband and me, gay dads with grown adult children and four grandchildren, you would be unsettled by how well adjusted we ALL are. But you wouldn’t dare.

[santo tomás @PacNWDigitalGuy]

@seattleiscrazy @surmoulage No, he’s well informed. You are a biased hack.

[santo tomás @PacNWDigitalGuy]

@HeathGSymonds @megbasham A perverse household is a so-called Christian preaching hate of anyone not just like them.

[santo tomás @PacNWDigitalGuy]

@megbasham @jeffjonrose Your soul sickness is stunning @megbasham. To pick on gay folks and to ignore the massive sexual abuse committed every year by hetero parents. Shame.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus.

You want to know what insults Jesus?

Kicking the sick off their healthcare.
Bombing schoolchildren in Iran.
Deporting moms and babies.
Covering up the Epstein files.
