this. this is the shit that we have been waiting for them to be forced to eat. I knew it wouldn't take a year

I can't believe he's even trying to justify this. it's better just to shut the hell up and do your job to your constituents. then go on television and try and justify straight up murder

I can hear my econ professor then explaining the cost to house the homeless, the drain on city resources, the drain on man hours to deal with homeless & the economic cost of blight on the city & property values & easily conclude it costs 3x as much as the program cost. Thus, economically worth it.

She knows she had to lie today, so did not wear the cross.

exactly. All Mitch McConnell had to do was burn Trump January 2021 and we would have never heard from him ever again. I will never vote Republican in my lifetime because they were spineless and did not do the right thing and do not believe in the rule of law anymore

Checking off my 2026 predictions already

Like, what does it say about the press pool that not a one of them says something like:
*Mr. President, we address you with respect; we expect the same. You answer to We the People and here we are. Perhaps you should reconsider how you represent the office.* Check this prick for being a…prick.

as we get older we learn that life is about making mistakes and trying things and failing. but it's also about getting up, brushing yourself off and moving forward. And it's good to have someone who's been there and still made it like my father. So you know that things can get better

but I also know that I couldn't get to that space until I myself touched the stove when it was hot or did some of the same dumbass shit that he did. I had to at least experience some of those failures before I could understand that there was knowledge and experience that I could tap into to help me

So when I was about to make a decision or do something major in my life, I could then ask him about it and then I could use the experiences he's had in his life and all of the things that he's seen out there to prevent perhaps mistakes moving forward. I'm glad that happened

So my relationship with my father changed at that point and realized he wasn't trying to restrict me or hold me back. he was trying to help me not make the same mistakes that he made. And I realized that he could now be a resource and someone I could lean on when faced with decisions

So of course I made the same mistakes that he did and did some of the same dumbass shit that he did. And it caused me problems. but at some point in the middle of college I realized he was trying to help me and prevent those things from happening to me because he had lived there

I like many of us, did not listen to the warnings my father gave me. he told me not to do many things because he had done them and had made mistakes in growing up. younger me. didn't want to listen to my father. whether I thought I knew better or he was just wrong, I didn't listen

One of the most important lessons I learned in my life and that I've tried to express to my nieces and nephews is to forgive younger you. younger you didn't have the information that older you now has. decisions had to be made and you made them
