One GIANT F*cking Circle



This is so true. 100% nailed it. Every single one of the morons out protesting probably spend their free time spitting in women's faces outside clinics because they seriously think their agency is different than the agency of those who do not think just like them.

When, through confirmation bias, they believe they are right (correct), that is enough for them. Everybody who is wrong (disagrees with them) have no rights (they say).

[fill in the blank] wouldn't let me do what I wanted to do at the time.

My Dad a WW II Navy veteran said, son, I'm glad you are standing up for your rights, BUT you have to understand your rights end when they start to infringe on others' rights.

He said let me show it to you this way.

He raised his fist (in a non-threatening way) and slowly moved it toward my nose when it was millimeters from my nose he said: "my right to strike someone ends when I infringe on their rights to not be harmed".

It was a life lesson for me. And hopefully for my kids.

...that means a president with "absolute authority" could reinterpret the 2nd Amendment & take all their guns away.

It defies reason or sanity. Ironically, they find their way to high places like the congress, or the presidency. That is intolerable.

You do not have to be infected with the virus to turn into a zombie. You just need a strong desire to impose yourself on others.

IMO, that means that Trump ordered the protests. He told Betsy to do something useful and get some people in the streets and make noise. The tell in this development is that the protesters BLOCKED THE AMBULANCE ENTRANCE TO A HOSPITAL. That kind of dumbfuckery could only originate from the stable genius himself.

They are staying in Florida until the end of the month. They can't go anywhere down there either and the weather is better than it is in NY, so they decided to stick it out until the end of the month.

As long as they have outside space. My mother is stalking me (she is a widow) and is in 3 month lockdown. The phone does not stop ringing. I am being more patient than I have ever been, or knew I could be! LOL

It's nice of you to be so patient with your mom. I am sure she is lonely and probably frightened as well, so you are keeping up her spirits.
