One of the most jarring things about adulthood is the realization of how many truly incompetent people are in the most important jobs. When I was a kid, I just assumed everyone “important” was smart or they wouldn’t be important. Boy, was that fucking wrong.
Great leaders don’t set out to be leaders… they set out to make a difference. It’s never about the role, it's always about the goal, and it's never about just winning.
Let’s raise sons and daughters to lead with kindness and purpose, not just strive to be first.
Dad's matter!
🔥 Firefighting doesn't just break down bodies—it can erode minds. PTSD rates among firefighters reach up to 37%.
Resilience isn't just "toughing it out"—it's a skill you build.
Protect your mind like you protect your crew. 🧠💪

Imagine the arrogance of thinking: screw ALL the economists, screw everything we know from history, screw our allies, screw American workers and farmers, screw my own voters who just wanted costs to go down…I’m going to take down the GLOBAL economy. Because I can. That’s a special kind of narcissist.
I know way too many American no longer care about this, but I’ll never stop reminding them of this: Donald Trump is EVERYTHING you teach your children NOT to be. He’s cruel, ignorant, & lawless, he’s a bully, a coward, a cheat, an extreme narcissist, & a pathological liar. You’d never work with him, you’d never work for him, you’d never want any woman you cared about involved with him. He’s a horrible human being. Shame on us for electing him again.
Five ways to be a highly trusted firefighter:
1) Show vulnerability.
2) Obsess over readiness.
3) Stay calm when things go sideways.
4) Own what you don’t know, then learn it.
5) Make decisions based on training, not ego.
I have no difficulty understanding how someone can be both Asian and Black.
I can’t fathom how someone can be a professed Christian and a Trump supporter.
Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. https://t.co/Tn2TQu5Djo
When Donald Trump was asked how 1,000 Americans dying a day could possibly mean Covid was “under control” he said, “it is what it is.”
So forgive me if I don’t give a flying fuck about how hard it is to sit in a cold courtroom.
When a military widow was mourning the loss of her husband, Trump told her “he knew what he had signed up for.”
So forgive me if I don’t give a fuck about how embarrassing it is to trend for publicly passing gas in the middle of publicly passing out.
While a rabid mob of Trump crazed zombies beat our Capitol police with their own shields, tased them and sprayed them with chemicals, he sat and watched it unfold on tv.
So forgive me if I don’t give a fuck about how much endurance sitting in a chair with your mouth shut requires.
When a beautiful young boy nicknamed “Smiley” was murdered in his school, Trump said we had to “get over it.”
So forgive me if I don’t give a fuck about how challenging it is to stay awake when grownups are discussing the crimes you committed.
When a young woman was killed, Trump lied about personally speaking with her family because he didn’t actually give a shit about any of them & just wanted to use her death for fear mongering propaganda.
So forgive me if I don’t give a fuck about him maybe missing his trophy wife’s kid’s graduation.
He golfed and tweeted while refrigerator trucks piled up with bodies. He ate lunch while the men and women defending our Capitol were nearly crushed to death. He joked when Paul Pelosi was attacked by a man with a hammer. He has intentionally stoked, poked, primed and prodded the cult to commit acts of violence against his foes and their families. He’s pardoned some of the most viscous, evil creatures on earth while praising despots & dictators as being “strong” at the same time. He fell “in love” with Otto Warmbier’s murderer, and became BFF’s with Khashoggi’s.
So please forgive me if I don’t give a single, solitary flying fuck about how much personal fortitude it requires for him to sit his criminal conman, racist, rapist fat ass down in a goddamn chair in between feeding times four fucking times a week.
Because I really, really do not give a motherfucking fuck about how “hard” he thinks he has it because at this particular moment in time, the worst consequence he’s ever faced for his lifetime of depravity, is to have to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up for a couple of hours a couple of days a week.
Forgive me but I just can’t seem to find a single goddamn fuck to give.
If you were applying for a security clearance right now and the FBI found that two weeks from today you need to put up cash and collateral to secure almost a half billion dollars of a bond to pay your court judgments, do you think you would get a security clearance?
If you’re walking around town today and see any “Now Hiring” signs, go in and tell them you’re interested.
Also tell them you were recently found liable for sexual assault and defamation, and have four criminal trials with 91 felony charges pending.
Let me know how it goes.
