I have a 40-yr-old who is 100% dependent.
The paperwork, the red-tape, the constant fear of supports being revoked leaving you to scramble once again.
And above all, what happens when I can no longer do it for her? What happens when I die?

I guess it shouldn’t be shocking how & why our true history was glossed over in the telling. But it does our nation & it’s citizens no favors when the truth is hidden.
Ken Burns has done a fantastic job. If we truly understand our past, perhaps we can move forward with a better future.

Johnson bought Trump & Bondi enough time to scrub his mentions & release a new ‘investigation’
So they have the ’active investigation’ excuse as well as files that are very likely cleaned up for Trump’s sake.
So the Reps know it’s safe to vote yes now. They get a clean reputation & nothing happens.

The kid has spunk. I would have struggled to keep from giggling.
Recently I was playing a board game with my grandkids when the 6 year old - feeling the pressure to make a decision said, “Just let me cook.” I nearly lost it.

The problem with believing the women is that we know that Epstein, Maxwell & Trump have all successfully threatened their victims. If I were one of the women involved I would be scared to speak up for fear I would end up dead or destroyed financially by lawsuits.

I watched Mr Rogers with my kids when they were growing up but I never saw this episode.
I was privileged to grow up with a father who was similarly kind and patient, especially with children.
I miss both those men.
The world needs more of them.

This is why victims don’t come forward, especially if they are children. They fear that the adults will take the side of the offender.
It’s an uncomfortable truth that there are too many Megyns out there.
This is what molesters rely on-pick a victim with less clout, disadvantaged girls are perfect.

I haven’t watched network/cable television since 2018.
But after reading the responses I’m triggered.
It’ll take me days to get rid of all the ear worms.

Good god, it’s contagious.
My upstairs neighbor went out walking his dogs dressed like this yesterday. I’ve seen this for a number of years now so I didn’t even bat an eye. It’s just what we do now.

Are they baggy shorts made out of super thin fabric worn with socks and slip-on sandals below? Because if not - Missouri sees you and raises you an ‘Ope!’

The Bernie supporters I know voted for Hillary & Biden in the main elections despite their dissapointment.
The same people who accuse ALL Bernie supporters of handing the election to Trump by not voting for Hillary are the same people who ignore the fact that more ‘PUMAs’ refused to vote for Obama.

I’m guessing it was about air travel.
Threatening to withhold food from people who need assistance - yeah, we can handle that.
But inconveniencing business and holiday travel for those who can afford to fly - that’s a hard line. No can do.

Exactly.
And the main stream media - owned by what? A half dozen corporations? Piled on hard against Mamdani just like they did with Bernie. But this time it didn’t work. So I’m encouraged.

300 characters is not enough to illuminate the issue.
And quite honestly I don’t have the emotional energy to try & explain it all from scratch at this late date.
If you really want to know, you can start digging into it online.
If you just want to bat around a stranger online, I’m not your girl.

It’s an exhausting argument because most people never knew what happened and bought into the ‘Bernie Bro’ narrative.
I quietly know the truth and with rare exception I just have to accept that most people don’t want to hear or believe it.
But I feel ya.

I’ve gotten to the point that I don’t enjoy the feeling of hope because it’s painful to keep seeing it dashed over and over again.
And yet I dare. I can’t help myself.

Anyone who pays attention knows that to cut fraud you have to investigate & prosecute the fraudulent billing committed by health care providers.
This is the same made up ‘welfare queen’ argument that Reagan brain washed the public to believe in during the 80’s repackaged for the 2020’s.

SS fast tracks removing benefits upon death. It’s getting benefits that is the nightmare.
I lived it when my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Calling to get disability for him & later to get benefits after his death was exactly this nightmare of hours long hold times & getting hung up on.

That was a whole lot of words to say, “Look, those tax cuts to billionaires aren’t going to pay for themselves. So the Dems just need to suck it up and pass the bill so we can screw over the working class taxpayers, until they do, we’re going to put the screws to the poor and needy.”
