Not to go all armchair psychologist, but not having the empathy to understand that your well being isn’t the priority of other people just because it’s yours is classically symptomatic of a number of disorders....

I am crying after reading your post. My heart aches for your brother, you and your family. I have been so angry for the 1st 5-6 months after the election but now I feel like I’m spiraling into depression over what our country has become in such a short amount of time. Your brother wants to serve and fight for this…
As if we weren’t already mourning the loss of the American Dream. What a poor show of humanity. The fact that undocumented immigrants could move through and up in our education system was the last gasp of hope for an untold many. No sancuary cities, no higher education, no chance of proving yourself “American”. How…
I’m really tired of all the “winning” we’ve been doing lately.
Things my dad taught me:
Trump is an empty, grease-stained McDonald’s bag borne aloft by a stray breeze. He cannot control his direction, and his current height is due to the vagaries of chance. I guess the point I’m driving at is, he is literal garbage and his garbage-ness is so fundamental to his being that I don’t think he can actually…
Most of us in the US are wondering that, too.
This administration is a disaster. It’s a disaster for a whole host of reasons, of course, but just operationally, it’s a disaster because no one knows how to run a government.
Maybe Kelly will fire Trump too.
There is no better example of Trump’s indifference to his fellow man. There are CHILDREN who are forced to fend for themselves and as the parent of an 8 year old, that’s some unimaginably scary stuff. Trump truly is someone who has ZERO fucking regard for anyone besides himself.
John Oliver just did a marvelous piece in response to Jones’ accusation that Oliver takes Jones out of context when reporting on his insane ranting. Turns out that Jones’ imagined conspiracies are very closely tied to the crap he’s trying to sell on his website. Oliver is so good at turning his critics’ words against…
Did you watch John Oliver last night???
I don’t long for the days of “Won’t someone please think of the children?!?” pandering. It’s just as disingenuous as not giving a shit about kids at all. It’s simply using them as a political cudgel, usually to defend something stupid or abhorrent. What we’re lacking is good old fashioned empathy for our fellow man,…
Not to be a dick, I wouldn’t do this to his face, but eye roll at that Tracy Morgan quote. I guess I just don’t get religion. The accident brought him closer to god because he could have died but he didn’t. So he thinks god spared him? But took his friend? Bleh. Whatever. Like there is some sort of magic plan…
Guys, I think the president might not understand what religious freedom means.
I agree. Although they are ALL dark hours now.
I knew it. And even if I hadn’t, I probably could’ve guessed from the root and context. I assume she used it because it made the sentence more lyrical. I noted and approved of the diction for that reason. We have all these nice words that rarely get used. No harm in having to look something up. It’s how we learn!
