While the economy in any country is always multifactorial, and virtually impossible to pin on one and only one cause, I think most people are rational enough to realize that one of the primary reasons they’re paying what they are for gas, utilities, and groceries is because Donald Trump got us into a war we should’ve never entered into and now has no idea how to get the hell out of it.
For the umpteenth time: Quit trying to analyze Trump. Quit trying to figure out why he says and does the things he says and does. I’m so fucking sick of listening to some panel on CNN try to discuss his latest bizarre pronouncement like he’s some normal human being. Stop that. This isn’t complicated- He’s not a normal human being. He’s a sociopath. He lies as he breathes. He’s an idiot. He’s a Russian asset. He gets off on being cruel. He’s never been held accountable for anything he’s done his entire life. He’s a horrible person. And he’s the biggest fucking crybaby who’s ever lived. That’s it.
I didn't know Presley Gerber. But I was rooting for him from afar, the way you root for anyone you recognize battling the same demons.
Addiction is a disease that knows no bounds. It doesn't care who your parents are, how much money you have, how loved you are, or how hard you're trying. And he was trying. He fought for his recovery in public, in front of a world that offers very little mercy to people who struggle where everyone can see.
We lost nearly 200 people to overdose in this country yesterday. We'll lose nearly 200 more today. About 1,300 a week. Almost 6,000 a month. Roughly 70,000 last year. Every one of them was somebody's Presley.
He started Mental Health Mondays because, in his words, "the goal was to spark real conversations about the stuff most people hide."
So don't hide. Ask for help. Keep asking. And if you've asked before and it didn't take, ask again.
You are not alone.

I said it at the time (and before!), but I truly believe that American voters electing Donald Trump for a second term in 2024 was the dumbest and most self-harming choice made by an electorate in the history of humanity
If you see some holier than thou MAGA get apoplectic about Charlie Kirk jokes today just search their timeline for "George Floyd" or "Trayvon Martin" and you'll see what kind of people they really are
@TimHannan He did the same with the Central Park Five.
He bought an entire newspaper page to call for the death of innocent teenagers and then refused to apologize even after they were completely exonerated by DNA evidence.
Anyone who takes him seriously is ignorant about his history.
Donald Trump tried to put an innocent man in prison for ten years rather than just admit he was wrong about the damaged Reflection pool. You have to be an evil scumbag to do something like that.
So, since the Canadian province of Ontario gets its name from Lake Ontario will trump also sign an executive order to change the province from Ontario to America???
