One of my friends just started the divorce process with her husband less than a year in. We’re not that close, so I don’t know what happened, but she’s one of the smartest and most capable people I know. Obviously she got out for good reason, and I’m glad she did.

High five. My second husband waited all of 3 weeks before he descended into a bottle, became a raging, abusive drunk I was afraid to leave with the children (either his or mine) to the point that I ended up working from home far too much for my corporateoverlords . Within 6 months he’d been arrested for DUI, had his…

And not only the humiliation I experienced- but my parents and siblings. They had to go back to their friends and explain so soon after what he had done. By having an amazing family and support system the pain and humiliation hurt them and rippled beyond me. Again, wouldn’t have gone through all of this for a fucking…

A year into our marriage my sweet husband became emotionally abusive and controlling- unrecognizable from the partner I had been with. It was as if a flip switched. I discovered more and more lies and for my own sanity am grateful I filed so quickly once his behavior became out of control. Though I spent months trying…

While this is true in terms of the public dissection of her; Jennifer Aniston leads a pretty charmed life. Not saying that this won’t hurt, but she has managed to create a fairly cushy existence* which can be hard to glimpse through the ‘poor Jennifer’ narrative.

To my knowledge, he didn’t have pictures of his white supremacist ties on his instagram. The point of my post is that the news keeps flashing his instagram photos as an additional red flag when it’s extremely common, especially in the South, to pose with guns or dead animals, thus it would be hard to determine the…

“I’m trying to be clear and honest here, someone who has decided to commit this crime, they will find a way to get the gun to do it.”

Maybe? Hell, a number of there own were shot at, and one of them was almost killed, by a shooter last year. And that really didn’t seem to phase them. At all.

Probably. Since someone shooting AT THEM wasn’t enough to do it.

Being an active member of a White Nationalist group might be a clue that someone is a little more special than your typical Southerner. I live in the deep South, and even here groups like the one this kid were apart of are actively shunned.

That’s what I thought too but the way they just moved right the hell on when Steve Scalise was shot and almost killed makes me think it is even more deeply rooted than them needing it to feel personal

So Trump doesn’t know about the shooter wearing a MAGA hat in one of his online photos huh?

The kids from the Florida school who survived the shooting have been speaking out and they are smart and articulate — both on social media and TV. Maybe our educational system doesn’t suck?

I love how a White Supremacist Terrorist is “mentally disturbed”. Not evil and definitely not a thug or a menace or a monster.

“I’m trying to be clear and honest here, someone who has decided to commit this crime, they will find a way to get the gun to do it,” Rubio said....

Ban assault rifles. Ban assault rifles. Ban assault rifles. We can talk about background checks and whatever later. But for the love of god, ban assault rifles.

One thing that people in “the North” don’t get about this kid showing off his guns on Instagram and not being reported:

The only way most elected members of the Republican party would be in favour of gun control is if it were their own children getting shot at. I don’t want that to happen, because I don’t want any children getting shot at, but I’m pretty sure it’s true.

I don’t know if the whole “the shooter is mentally ill” angle is good for them, given that they’ve worked so hard to get mentally ill people access to guns. Also, the shooter appears to be a terrorist; one can be a mentally ill terrorist, but that aspect shouldn’t be annoyed.

For me, it’s much more troubling that Trump blamed the community because they didn’t report the kid hard enough. Fuck you, Trump.
