Happy birthday!

Congratulations on your niece!

I wholeheartedly agree with this entire post.

Good point.

He's like Dorian Gray, but instead of a portrait in the attic, it's just his reputation as a heroic former POW who's a champion of human rights, and every time he does something as evil as denying health care to people while at the same time using tax dollars to get the best health care money can buy for himself, he…

Go figure. The people who get treated the shittiest by this country are the most patriotic and willing to die for it. They're far better people than I am, that's for sure.

Yeah, because it's not like the military is one of the only ways to earn money and get an education and raise oneself out of abject poverty for a whole lot of people, or transgender people are overwhelmingly more likely to be living in abject poverty thanks to widespread discrimination and having very little support…

I did the same thing. I was always very physically affectionate with my dad and sat in his lap and cuddled with him until I was a teenager. I needed the space as well, and I also recognized that maybe it wasn't terribly appropriate anymore - also, I was probably crushing my poor dad's legs by then anyway. I don't…

You are baffling.

…is this a bit?

It actually does. There's something called intergenerational trauma.

My boss's husband, who was a Recon Marine (though not in Iraq, but a decade before) has said pretty much the same thing about GK.

I'm not sad at all. I mostly just think it's funny that you tried to extrapolate all this from a mildly critical comment I made about a superhero movie.

I have a friend who's an Atlantic City native, and she and her sister told me once when I visited - because I asked about it - that they can't even bring themselves to talk about it because it's so upsetting. They know too many people who have been seriously damaged by Trump and his ilk.
