Well to be fair if I was being paid to protect a pedophile network I would probably be shitfaced all the time right up until I finally grew the balls to commit suicide
TRUMP: âOpen the strait by 8 p.m. or I'll end your civilizationâ
IRAN: âNo.â
TRUMP: âOkay, fine. You want to play hardball, we'll play hardball. How about I agree to all of your terms?â
IRAN: âYes.â
TRUMP: âThen we have a deal, losers.â
âI canât believe he conned us into voting for himâ I can but you were screaming libtard to loud to hear me tell you so I donât feel bad that you are slow and it took you this long to figure out what the rest of us knew before you voted for it you Neanderthal booo hoooooooooo
Genuinely concerned about how much my phone spies on me based on the oddly specific ads I get. Waiting for an ad that just says "Maybe give up already, dumb bitch."
this will be a hard one for some men to hear. if you have ever:
1. had sex with someone while they were WAY more drunk than you
2. begged and pleaded your partner for sex until they eventually gave in, and complied
3. threatened to break up, or cheat unless your partner gave in, and gave you sex, and so they complied
....you raped someone
@elonmusk Fuck you and fuck any straight white man who feels the need to say this kind of dumb shit outloud. When accountability feels like persecution, youre the fucking problem.
BREAKING NEWS: War criminal Benjamin Netanyahu has landed in Washington D.C. to meet with fellow war criminal Donald Trump. It is not normal or ok that our government continues to fund the genocidal state of Israel.
My son's first time watching @deesnider's We're Not Gonna Take It music video. I came in because I heard him burst into laughter when the dad flew out the window đđ„°
Let me break this down without sugar-coating a damn thing:
America is one medical event away from financially euthanizing its own elders.
Everybody loves to chant âsupport our seniorsâ right up until the moment they need actual hands-on care â then suddenly itâs Congratulations, youâre broke now.
Because hereâs the truth nobody wants to say out loud:
Taking care of an elderly parent in this country doesnât cost âa little money.â
No.
It costs a house.
It costs a retirement account.
It costs your sanity.
It costs your life savings and then the government sends you a thank-you note by putting a Medicaid lien on the family home after your parent dies, just to clean out the leftovers.
You want the numbers?
Letâs go.
Home care? $33 an hour.
Thatâs $8,000 a month just to keep someone safe in their own damn home.
Assisted living? $5,900 a month â $71,000 a year.
More than college. Less useful.
Memory care? Hope youâve got two kidneys to sell.
Nursing home? $111,000 to $128,000 a year.
Thatâs not a bill â thatâs a ransom note.
And while families are drowning, caregivers â the people keeping our loved ones alive â are paid $16 an hour, while agencies bill $34+ and pocket the difference like itâs a clearance sale on human suffering.
Meanwhile Medicare â the thing Americans THINK pays for their parentsâ care â doesnât pay for ANY long-term custodial help.
Not at home.
Not in assisted living.
Not even in a nursing home beyond a short rehab stay.
They kick you to the curb the second youâre stable enough to blink â âgood luck, hope your kids arenât broke yet.â
So who pays?
Medicaid.
But only if youâre poor enough to practically vanish.
Only if you sell down, spend down, or die down to qualify.
And even THEN, thereâs a 3-year, 4-year, 5-year waitlist for home care in some states.
Imagine being 87, needing help with bathing and eating, and the government basically says,
âSure, sweetie â get on the list, weâll call you by 2029.â
Families step in â unpaid, exhausted, wrecked.
America survives on the backs of daughters, daughters-in-law, and burned-out adult children quietly doing $600 billion worth of unpaid care every single year while the insurance industry gets fat selling policies with premiums that jump 30% overnight.
And nursing homes?
Corporate chains.
Private equity.
Debt stacked on debt.
They make their money not from love, not from care â but from Medicare rehab margins and private-pay seniors who bleed out their savings to subsidize everyone else.
Your grandmaâs Social Security check is not keeping the lights on.
Your grandmaâs house is.
This isnât a system.
This is a machine â designed to take every last dollar a family has before theyâre allowed to get help.
A machine that punishes aging, punishes disability, punishes the poor, and punishes anyone who dares to live long enough to need care.
So when politicians talk about âcutting healthcare,â
When they casually vote to slash ACA subsidies, gut Medicaid, or privatize Medicare with a grin like itâs a fun little math problem,
Let me translate what theyâre actually saying:
âIf your parents get sick⊠youâre on your own.
If your husband gets dementia⊠sell the house.
If YOU get disabled⊠pray you die quickly.â
Because without coverage?
Without Medicaid?
Without ACA?
Without guardrails?
Elder care in America becomes a luxury product.
Only the rich age with dignity.
Everyone else ages with debt.
This isnât politics.
This is survival.
This is the bill every American family eventually gets â and the bill our leaders pretend doesnât exist.
Weâre not fighting for healthcare.
Weâre fighting for our future ability to not abandon the people who raised us.
Because one day, if this system isnât fixed, it wonât be your parents youâre terrified for.
Itâll be you.
Anyone can become disabled.
Anyone can lose their job
Anyone can become homeless
Anyone can go hungry.
These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.
Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.
We must fight for one another
It finally happened. After years of watching and wishing, I had a dream that @mikeroweworks agreed to go on a date with me. He flew into town and we were all set for our date. He got really sick with the flu, so instead, I just took care of him. Still really romantic somehow.
