Kindness, compassion, and positivity are very important traits in life. It is far easier to say nothing than it is to speak words of kindness. It is easier to judge quickly than to take time to understand. It is often easier to see a glass half-empty rather than half full. Nevertheless, you have the power to be the…

“When they go low we go high”

“My father in law works in the administration, does this mean when we go out to dinner we should be ambushed?!?”

This is a critical point. My husband’s father is a Trump voter. He cannot ever admit fault about anything. And when challenged he immediately doubles down on his position. This is, of course, a major character flaw and comes from the fact that he comes from an emotionally abusive family and has zero sense of…

This is the unanswerable question, and it’s what leads to war. 

Not sure what’s bothering me more about this administration... how angry it makes me, or how happy that anger makes the Right. When Rachel Maddow cried last week my first thought was, “Welp, the Faux News comment section is gonna sop that up with bread”, and, sure as shit do stink, republicans treated Maddow’s tears…

I’ve got no empathy for Trumpsters. They don’t realize the implications of their policies and actions until it happens to them. Look at these fine people...

Well according to that gay-hating-bakers court case this is legal to do now.

Fuck these people. This is what they deserve. No restaurant is required to serve them and they are not a protected class. They may think it’s funny to go to Mexican restaurants and have these people serve them while calling them animals, but they can laugh all they want OUTSIDE, ON THE SIDEWALK. Not to mention, every…

Why should other patrons be forced to dine with people actively committing human rights violations? People who torture children should eat at home. Remember, “I was just following orders” isn’t a defense. 

“This is absolutely insane - and extremely dangerous. My father in law works in the administration, does this mean when we go out to dinner we should be ambushed?!? Don’t ever again give me any of the “when they go low, we go high” lip service. “

Well, seeing as the politicians themselves refuse to or are unable to curb their own criminals and thugs, it will be taken to the streets! Oh the horrors! Little Stevie can’t buy his tacos in peace while he destroys the rest of the world!

It’s so rude to yell at powerful people! Hitler should have been allowed to have his genocide meeting in peace!

When people are dying because they can’t get the health care they need, when kids are locked up in cages and being force-fed antipsychotic drugs, when our water is poisoned, when we betray our foundational principles to pad our bank accounts, f-k your inconvenience.

Ahem.

You’re confusing borderline personality disorder (what Pete has) with bipolar disorder. BPD has nothing to do with mania and depression.

“I worked for this guy and hopefully you have now seen that I’m not a horrible person and we can go further with this” 

It is almost as if being a shitty person who defends the views of a pile of garbage in human form has consequences. Who knew.

Awww... Their ambition is getting in the way of their dating. They think working for a corrupt government will get them a super high paying job in the future, but they didn’t realize that it would come at the cost of losing family, friends, and any future friends/lovers. It will be even worse 10 years from now, when…

Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future- Nelson Mandela
