  • We barely got to the point of impeaching Nixon for his bullshit and Reagan got off scott free for Iran-Contra. So it shouldn’t be too surprising that Bush didn’t get keelhauled for his bullshit invasions especially since most of the morons in Washington were totally on board with it.

    Some of us could see it coming from a mile away with Afghanistan. (Just had to look back to how it went for the USSR and like every other country that tried before us (see “Graveyard of Empires”).

    Iraq* looked an awful lot like bullshit driven by greed, oil, and “finishing what daddy started” at the time. Idk about the last one now but the first two? Definitely. But fucking Congress went along with all of it. Probably lobbied by billionaires.

    So no way was he going to pay for his crimes.

    People at the top in this country rarely do.









  • You can’t make her do anything. I don’t think blatantly telling her it is a scam will work.

    You can tell her your feelings and suspicions prefaced with your motivation (you don’t want to see her get hurt and stolen from). You could maybe find some kind of warning signs / red flags checklist for this kind of scam for her to review.

    It sucks to see but we are each responsible for our choices and beliefs. Sometimes we have to learn the hard way. I hope that isn’t the case here.


  • Trans people are regular, real people. Like my college friend. Or my wife’s HS friend. Or that one kind soul I worked with once.

    I’m so god damn sick of all the hatred and lies and bullshit and murder and sadistic laws against trans people.

    I loudly applaud any space that actively supports trans people and gives them a place free from hatred and assholes.
