@lovelightJesus@emilykschrader There is no such thing as God. Mankind made it up to explain nature. And incase you haven’t noticed they are killing in his name. “God is great” they yell as they war.
@Reddwine4@LuvOneAnother7@NotAlexSheppard@JackMaxey1 You’re an idiot Reddwine. Trump parrot. Nobody is afraid of the backwards fascist conservative mob. We just want them to pay for their stupid crimes listening to their crime boss saviour. Justice is finally happening.
@CollinRugg You are an idiot, part of the BS MAGA cult. Stupid losers. All the evidence is there chump. Your dictator prophet tried hard to cheat. Go cry conservative boy.
@FairTaxSavesUS@GrammyBridge@KimDotcom Hilarious. You are so ignorant. Left. Right. Oh ya that’s how it is gimp. Ooooo… the evil lefties. Authoritarianism comes in all flavours stupid
@MattWalshBlog Also my fav part is when you throw the chair at the board and then show your complete asshole nature, calling a group of people predators. I started the film thinking you were a real journalist. Hahahaha
@MattWalshBlog My favourite part is when the Dr who has done more transitions in all the USA says that youngest transition is 16, with parent consent of course but the rest of the film is all about the butchering of children and insinuations that hospitals are cutting up 8 year olds
When Tina Turner left her first husband - who was also her boss, captor, and brutal tormentor - she snuck out of their Dallas hotel room with a single thought in her mind: "The way out is through the door."
From there she fled across the midnight freeway, semi-trucks careening past her, with 36 cents and a Mobil gas card in her pocket. As soon as she decided to walk out that door, she owned nothing else.
When she filed for divorce, she made an unusual request. She didn't want anything: not the song rights, not the cars, not the houses, not the money. All she wanted was the stage name he gave her - Tina - and her married name - Turner. This was the name by which the world had come to know her, and keeping it was her only chance to salvage her career.
Things could have gone a lot of ways from there. She could have labored in obscurity for decades, maybe making records on small labels to be prized by vinyl connoisseurs in Portland. She could have stayed in Vegas, where she first went to get her chops back up, and worked as a nostalgia act. And, of course, given what she had been through, she might have ... not made it.
What happened instead is that Tina Turner became the biggest global rock star of the 80s. I'm old enough to barely remember this, but if you aren't, it was like this: The Rolling Stones would headline a stadium one day, and the next day it would be Tina Turner. A middle-aged Black woman - she became a rock star at 42! - sitting atop the 1980s like it was her throne.
She managed this because of whatever rare stuff she was made of (this is a woman whose label gave her two weeks to record her solo debut, Private Dancer, which went five times platinum); because she decided to speak publicly about her abusive marriage and forge her own identity, and in doing so give hope and courage to countless women; and also because - in a perhaps unlikely twist for a girl from Nutbush, Tennessee - she had her practice of Soka Gakkai Nichiren Buddhism, to which she credited her survival. She remained devout until the end.
Tina's second marriage - to her, her only marriage - was to Edwin Bach, a Swiss music executive 16 years her junior. Of him, she said, "Erwin, who is a force of nature in his own right, has never been the least bit intimidated by my career, my talents, or my fame."
In 2016, after a barrage of health problems, Tina's kidneys began to fail. A Swiss citizen by then, she had started preparing for assisted suicide when her husband stepped in. According to Tina, he said, "He didn't want another woman, or another life."
He gave her one of his kidneys, buying her the remainder of her time on this earth and perhaps closing a cycle which took her from a man who inflicted injury upon her to a man willing to inflict injury upon himself to save her from harm.
Born into a share-cropping family as Anna Mae Bullock in 1939, she died Tina Turner in a palatial Swiss estate: the queen of rock 'n roll; a storm of a performer with a wildcat-fierce voice; a dancer of visceral, spine-tingling potency and ability; a beauty for the ages; a survivor of terrible abuse and an advocate for others in similar situations; an author and actress; a devout Buddhist; a wife and mother; a human being of rare talent and perseverance who, through her transcendent brilliance, became a legend.

Republicans are so flabbergasted over their inability to connect with young voters it’s almost comical. You wanna know why they hate you and upwards of 90% of them will never vote for you @GOP? I’ll break it down for you (Thread)
