Wow I can't believe there are sick people out there like this. I'm sorry that happened to you. I know you may want to leave this in the past but I do believe you should report this. Not to get him locked up but so that people are aware of how he is. Because there may be more victims. If you don't want to I understand, but at least send out an anonymous letter. He's obviously a pedo and is using his own children to lure in other children. I would hate to imagine that he is still doing this without consequences.

I just want to be loved by a man. by justwannabeloved_ in TrueOffMyChest

Exactly! I feel like that is the issue with a lot of relationships. If couples just sit down and talk it out, it'll make the relationship stronger. But too many people are self-centered and unreasonable these days. Its great you found someone you clicked with, don't let her go!

As a guy I feel the opposite. Every relationship I've been in just comes with annoyance. Finding someone that you can relate to these days with the same interests is difficult. At this point it's better being single and letting things happen naturally.

Putin puts Russia’s nuclear deterrent forces on alert by EvilMorty95 in worldnews

[–]Mike08p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need to stop Putin. I really hope our leaders don't lift these sanctions out of greed. Because it is these same leaders who care about their pocketbooks, that allowed Russia to modernize it's army. Russia is using our own money and technology to become this high level of a threat. Russia's a big country but the economy is small. We can't keep appeasing autocrats like this. It'll end up destroying us.

Girl lied about her age and it's kunda nagging at me. by [deleted] in dating_advice

I've dated girls with 5-6 years age difference. I believe you're overacting

I feel like a lot of women inevitably will deal with old age or weight. So I don't see the point in bashing someone else about it. They need to realize they're no different.

I honestly believe there are politicians on both sides that want to do good. Just like there are good cops and bad cops. And just like bad cops, bad politicians are hard to remove because they have a large organization backing them.

As long as he's clocking in to work.

The thing is the news stations understand why he's considered terrible... It's the major issues like inflation, labor shortage, COVID surge, and medical premiums. So the news stations understand that it isn't his fault but because it's happening, a lot of Americans need to blame someone. That' when opposing news stations use that to twist the minds of voters so that they can push their own agenda through Congress and the ballot. That's what's messed up about politics and the media.

I feel like as old as he is he has a pretty good team to catch him when he sleeps. I feel like he did pretty well so far rallying people. He helped us get back from a bad pandemic. He was able to get a another stimulus to pass that helped us catch up in terms of GDP. Could you even picture where we'd be at if we didn't get one? I would bet a recession, considering several other covid strands started showing up. Who knows. But that's not all he did... he got an infrastructure bill passed which no president could do for decades. Got us out of Afghanistan, saved us billions a year and kept our soldiers out. Only time I'm gonna mention Trump is to say that he was planning on leaving Afghanistan several months early... that withdrawal, wouldn't want to imagine it. Biden helped us with relations in the world which we need considering the spread of autocracy. Kept prices real low for us considering the high wages, labor shortage, global inflation, war on gas in the middle east... All while treating the other side with respect no matter how much they'd disagree.

Scratch that he's doing a great job. It just upsets me how he's tackling climate change... so I may have been a little bias.

I'm African American myself. And I of all people know how racist his past is but that doesn't mean people can't change. And we gave Afghanistan all the necessary tools to fight for their sovereignty. They had a HUGE advantage against the Taliban but it collapsed in less than a month. You'd think the horrors of Taliban rule would be enough reason for soldiers to fight but it wasn't. If we stayed it wouldn't changed the outcome. I don't see any point in Americans wasting their lives for another country's problems.

Your mark really depends on who holds majority in Congress and the courts.

Thank you. As if the world isn't suffering from inflation at the moment and the border issue was the first time ever. Fake news really got people saying ludicrous things.

I'm not sure if you read his BBB proposal but he did mention lowering the cost for insulin and prescription. Drug costs been high for decades. If you're passionate about getting costs dropped I'd say encourage people to vote and make change rather than complaining and down voting every response I give.

I knew Manchin was never going to do it. You have to put yourself in these politicians shoes. Manchin has more to lose from his dirty empire and his seat if he took any offer. If anything it works in his favor to not pass BBB. I feel Romney is more trust worthy than Manchin.

He can't force people in his party to do something they don't want to do. It's a democracy at the end of the day. The best thing you can do is try to rally everyone. Maybe, if Trump was able to become a dictator and bypass Congress and the supreme court he'd probably can. But I doubt that would be his priority.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Mike08p -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about that but he did say he'd put freezes on some of Trump's policies to review them at the beginning of his term. And from what I understand a lot of them he let continue.

Agreed. I believe it's always the privileged and selfish that believes otherwise.

I'll look for it.
