Simply put,  Trump gave an interview or tweeted about the census and removed all grey area.

“Legal experts speculated to the Times that the unprecedented reshuffling was actually due to en masse quitting...”

I’m a longtime lurker and infrequent poster, hence firmly in the greys so I don’t know if anyone will see this. But, I feel like it will feel good for me to say.

Ugh I feel off my ‘no credit card’ wagon :/ I have to get back on track I want to be out of debt by next year. My last impulse purchase was earthquake kit for a family of 4 and water purifiers because it’s been rockin an rollin here in southern california. You can’t put a price on peace of mind right? right?!

Well, duh. Of course she was charged with domestic battery. With all these tariffs Trump keeps making, imported batteries are too expensive. Besides, domestic batteries are juiced with MAGA coal and that’s cleaner and better than anything you’ll find in foreign countries.

I am gobsmacked by this terrible news. I don’t have anything directly relatable, but I’m mentally telegraphing the most strengthening and supportive psychic waves I can send in your direction. I think you’ll find that you’re far less alone than you might feel at times. Be good to yourself and to your pop. Try and…

So sorry for your loss. Sending lots of warm thoughts and internet hugs to you.

So sorry you’re going through that. 

I am so sorry Ms Coffee. My mom has been unsuccessful in her attempts but she too has her demons. Be kind to yourself.

Floundering is normal after losing someone unexpectedly. I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve been through two similar events: lost my husband to suicide; a few years later my mom died, rather peacefully, after a cancer diagnosis, and since then I’ve been concerned about my dad.

I am so so sorry 

So sorry for your loss.

You may want to look into grief group therapy. Maybe talking to others that have gone though something similar will help.

Hello, I’m so sorry for your loss. My best friend died from suicide 3 years ago and it’s by far the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced. I can’t imagine the added difficulty of losing a parent. It’s very normal to feel like you are floundering, as other commenters have said sometimes it does just need to be a minute…

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. The experience I’ve had dealing with suicide has been, as you know, overwhelming. My daughter was 14 when her best friend, also only 14, waved goodbye to me and left my home and was dead by suicide in under an hour.  Suicide, I learned, is contagious. Two weeks later it was…

If he’s anything like my Dad (or most western men of their generation) I’m guessing they don’t usually chat on a daily basis, right? These men have known your Dad since he was a child and now, when everything is terrible, it sounds like they’re showing up and reaching out even though there’s nothing they can possibly…

Oh no, I am so sorry. I cannot imagine what both of you must be going through right now. Sending you love and good thoughts.

I don’t have any personal experience in this matter but you have my deepest, deepest condolences as well as my support and love through the wires. 

I’m so sorry.   Please allow yourself the time to mourn, grieve, go through all the feelings.
