It’s hard to imagine they will have the same patriotic motivation they usually would - very, very hard to believe they won’t do their jobs just a little less well. Sacrifice your life for that? Come on. Just dive that 1/8 of a second “too late”. Who could blame them?

To be realistic - if that didn’t set him off, more than likely something else would have.

Hmm, this reminds me of somewhere in season 2 of Gilmore Girls, Jess at one point said “the girls I like don’t like me” or something to that effect. Maybe somewhere, somehow, Trump really did like women like Hillary - they just didn’t like him! As one might wonder what could have been if only Hitler had been accepted…

No joke - someone in high school actually did just that to me. Walked up and said “I am you for Halloween”. And I mean - she really was. I was a kind of gothy teen in the early 2000s, with kind of my own distinctive take on that (what I would now look back on and call a “cheery goth” - really I was kind of just legit…

I am tired of people who refuse to take personal responsibility for their failures in life - blaming others for your problems gets you nowhere. I am certain, given the attitude displayed in your post, that nothing and no one ruined your life but you.

It feels like there is a lot of talk about post partum depression going on here in the comments, but not much about those 4 dead kids, killed by the person they should have been able to trust most in the world. Yes, parenting is hard. No doubt. Don’t have five kids if it will overwhelm you to the point of killing…

That kind of thinking is the absolute epitome of privilege. It is absolutely disgusting to take for granted a right that so many around the world would literally die to have. The options you have to vote for aren’t aligned perfectly with your platonic vision of what a candidate should be? Suck it up, buttercup. You…

It is really sickening - I don’t know what kind of monsters they must be to have allowed anyone, let alone a child, suffer and ultimately die from an excruciatingly painful disease like that. Even the conviction they did receive is not enough - anyone who could just sit back and allow that kind of suffering to…

Coming to the realization that is simply what a person is, rather than making any excuses for them, can be a cathartic and appropriate response when they have treated you or others poorly.

Often, a cunt is just a cunt. Whether or not that particular cunt has a personality disorder. It is advocating laziness and not addressing one’s own issues to say that anyone deserves special treatment because of issues it is their own responsibility to work on - no one else’s to fix for them.

Bernie Sanders is simply too much of a grumpy old misanthrope to be an effective leader of anything, let alone the POTUS - way too much hype around way too much of an old grump.

Your comments strike me as indicative of a rather lazy, entitled approach to dealing with mental illness. No one has an excuse to treat others poorly and absolutely no one has an obligation to tolerate bad treatment. Stop making excuses.
