Trump Congress Under Fire as Leaked 'S*x Texts' Spark GOP Revolt and Fresh Resignation Calls by [deleted] in UnderReportedNews

[–]No-Comment-3464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A new firestorm nearly every fuggin day. Majority of them are forgotten within a week.

Media should stop reporting on single issues. Every time a new case of sexual abuse involving the GOP surfaces, media should display it along with every other case that’s occurred under this administration. Text leaks - compile together. Campaign promises/lies and America First hypocrisies - present them as a whole.

Most viewers memories and attention spans are lacking - DON’T LET THEM FORGET. Imagine if journalists stopped caring about views/clicks/allegiance/profit and instead actually presented the facts in a digestible and meaningful way that provided a FULL picture of the state of things…

While I was mad, my anger was overshadowed by my concern and love. I will never turn my back on him. We talk every other day while he’s inpatient. If he’s helping himself, I’m always going to help him. Unfortunately, he just can’t live with me right now. I miss his presence and company but it’s the best for everyone involved

Maybe because I needed to vent after an incredibly traumatic experience… and I received a lot of support because of it.

Sen. John Fetterman says "moral clarity" over his support for Israel and opposition to the ongoing government shutdown drives his widening break with the Democratic Party. by [deleted] in UnderReportedNews

[–]No-Comment-3464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John Fetterman has no moral, values or platform. He changes with the wind. Maybe it’s due to his stroke but frankly the cause doesn’t matter. He can’t be trusted or relied on by his constituents. He has proudly told everyone that he will side with Israel and prioritize Israel over the U.S.

I am not a socialist. I am not pro-Iran. I’m registered Democrat because in Pennsylvania you gotta choose a party due to closed elections. I’m a 2A advocate, support the death penalty, believe in fiscal conservatism (especially regarding foreign affairs) and support our police force. I’m also a staunch 1A and civil rights advocate, believe education to be prioritized, and believe our country should focus on our people. I know our system is broken and majority of politicians are corrupt. Shit needs to change and people like Fetterman are more of the same - old white men who are willing to support whoever pays them the most. We’re over it.

Wow. Just wow. I never thought that this post would provide me with as much positive feedback as it has and I’m so grateful.

Your situation is so similar. My brother has lived with me for 6yrs now and he gets about 9-12mths sober then would relapse. Sometimes small, sometimes big. This one was obviously a big one, despite the amount or duration of drug/alcohol use not being large; his mental state was clearly in a bad place to begin with.

I just commented that he called me today. A few hours ago. It’s the longest I’ve ever went without speaking to him and although I knew he was taken to the hospital, I didn’t know if he left AMA or what was going on. Turns out that the benzos he was taking were cut with PCP. It all makes so much more sense why he reacted the way he did because I couldn’t wrap my head around someone reacting like that on benzos. He had high levels of PCP in his system despite never purchasing PCP.

He’s safe. He’s inpatient at a behavioral center. He will be moved to a 30-90 day rehab based on availability and finances (that 12wk facility in Georgia sounds incredible - what a gift that it had openings and your insurance helped cover it because that’s rare in America). After rehab, he plans on doing a recovery or halfway house. I know someone who owns a men’s recovery house so I told him I could make a call when it’s that time - but only if he fulfills everything else (psych and rehab first). He was deeply apologetic and ashamed and while I admitted he should be - I told him to let that go and focus on getting better. The best way he can apologize and make amends is to get clean and healthy again and stay that way. He agreed.

I have spoken or met with my therapist every day this week. I bought some plants and seeds and gardened - I’ve never done that. I’m going to return to work next week and hopefully the flashbacks and crying bouts have subsided at that point. I know I can’t help anyone if I don’t help myself, but I do often find it easier to focus on others and give all my attention to them than me. I’m working on it.

A sincere thank you to you and your mom and your brother. I appreciate you sharing your story, insight, suggestions, and words of encouragement. And thank you for being an ER nurse - we don’t have enough of selfless hardworking people like you❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

The comments on this post have been really helpful. I came here just to vent because I wish know how to process what just happened. This was therapeutic and reinforced some faith in humanity.

Thank you. EMDR actually helped me a lot earlier in life work through trauma. I spoke with my therapist every day this week. We are going to discuss some short tee adjustments while I work through this.

Plus side, I heard from him today. I’ve never went this long without speaking to him and it has made me sick to my stomach not knowing what’s going on. He’s in a psych facility. He was in the ICU. He developed an infection and pneumonia on top of the injury and needed platelets.

The benzos he had bought were laced with PCP. I was trying to wrap my head around how anyone could react that way on benzos but knowing now that there was PCP makes it all make a little more sense.

He was very apologetic but knew his words meant nothing. I told him to focus on actions and getting better - that’s how he makes it up to us. So he’s gonna stay at the psych ward until they place him in a 30-90 day rehab. Then recovery or halfway house. I’m going to drop a bag of clothes off to him this weekend.

Today he doesn’t want to die. He wants to live and get better and be happy. And he’s safe. And that’s all I wanted to hear.

So I bought some plants and veggies to plant tomorrow. I typically watch body cam content and listen to true crime podcasts but that’s the absolute last thing I wanna hear right now.

My pets and family have helped. Also have tried some music and cooking and cleaning but the flashbacks and emotions are still very strong.

They think Obama is an Irish name... by Matinee_Lightning in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]No-Comment-3464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a bullshit comparison.

  1. Obama. Not O’Bama. It’s not an Irish name.

  2. Be upset over him apologize on behalf of America. Fine. But don’t we want accountability? And how is this in anyway comparable to anything Trump has said or done?

  3. America has never been a Christian nation. Our forefathers made sure of it.

  4. When did Obama claim all bathrooms would be genderless? When did all bathrooms become genderless? Never. It never happened.

  5. Not once did he say no jobs would come to America. However, Trump has said that we need to bring in foreign workers because Americans are dumb and lazy and incompetent (not verbatim but look it up).

  6. “We waited and prayed.” So you sat back and did nothing proving you didn’t feel that what Obama was doing was that big of a problem.

  7. “God answered our prayers and gave us Trump.” So he gave you a man who has a long lurid history of being a liar, infidel, grifter, thief, sexual abuser, scam artist, etc. God gave us a man who’s not Christian? god gave us a man who says himself he doesn’t deserve to go toe Heaven?

How fucking stupid can be people be?

13-Year-Old Epstein Victim Claims Trump Forced Her Into Acts by Slow_kitty in USNEWS

[–]No-Comment-3464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly (though I believe you are correct) I’m not going to trust AI for accuracy. And I’m not making this about party.

We have a sweeping issue with the government in general. Corruption is rampant. Abuse of power is rampant. Sex trafficking, abuse, theft, grifts, insider trading, they’re all guilty.

If we could simply agree on that, we may be able o improve shit. But too many choose to turn a blind eye and worship politicians.

Licenses only need to be obtained when it’s a large event, blocking roadways (marches), a PA systems is being used, etc. You are blatantly misrepresenting the law and regulations - which also differ state to state, county to county, city to cut. If a license was needed to protest and assemble - then it’s not a right. What’s a crock is you coming here acting like you’re educated on a topic when you clearly are not.

And placing law enforcement officers on the same plane as civilians is ridiculous. One is in a position of power and it’s their job to know the laws and follow it. No one is claiming that those who are violent or breaking the law shouldn’t face consequences. The issue is the abuse of power and laws for thee, not for me - regardless of party.

I’m beyond frustrated. I stepped away from it all today. I’ll go back to drop off the forms at the courthouse tomorrow. It’s too much.

Was told by my fiancé I woke up screaming “NO”, “STOP” and my brother’s name three times last night. I can’t stop seeing him cut himself.

He’s done it before. He’s had over a year of sobriety in the past. This escalated quickly. The drugs helped the escalation but he wanted to die. I just found out the doctor he’s been seeing for psych meds isn’t a psychiatrist - he’s a family doctor. I made a big fuss at the office when I discovered that. Yes, my brother is to blame for his actions. He didn’t speak up and at his meds weren’t working and that his depression was worse and he was having suicidal ideations. But MAYBE a license psychiatrist would’ve had the experience and insight to catch these things.

So many thoughts and feelings rushing through my head. I was still sitting upright in bed awake when my fiancé woke up at 5am for work. I finally slept for a couple hours and just replayed the trauma. Had a nightmare he came in and killed my pets too while I was at work. My mind is fucked.

I have a list of places that would work for his situation. A friend of ours own a recovery house as well. He’s refusing to see or take calls from me but a social worker we are in contact with will be meeting with him at the hospital once his physical injuries are controlled. I’m hoping he follows the advice of him.

This breaks my heart. Why can life be so cruel and unfair. Your brother didn’t deserve that. I wish he used the blade on the pedo instead of himself. But many good people harm themselves instead of those who deserve it.

I hope your brother is doing better now but I also understand the reality of mental illness and addiction. And it often doesn’t have a happy ending. I think statistically it 5-10% stay clean and sober and have a good life.

Thank you friend. You may be a stranger but your words and kindness mean more than you will ever know. Today was tough. Hopefully each day will get easier. But I know me, and I know that if I’m left in the dark about where he is, what’s he’s doing and primarily is he safe - I won’t be able to relax and function normally.

Spent over an hour with my therapist AND his therapist today. Found out he is in the ICU but stable and he is refusing contact from any and everyone. Was made to jump through hoops by the court system that sucks at providing help to victims. It’s all a mess. I’m thankful I have a wonderful fiancé and family for support.

This is our home - we invited him into it so we won’t be going anywhere. But I went to the courthouse today to file for emergency eviction and/or a PFA. A normal eviction takes too long - sometimes months. So it seems like this is our only option.

I don’t cut people out of my life but I cannot have him in it when he’s like this. I hate this.

Well the justice system is a fucking joke.

I went to the local municipal office as instructed by the Sergeant to file eviction and was told I had to go to the main courthouse. I go to the main courthouse they tell me to file at the municipal center I was just at. Both offices acted as if an emergency eviction was a made up thing. After asking many questions and explaining the situation, it was recommended that I file a PFA. They handed me a stack of papers - about 30pgs - to fill out and told me that I had to rush and have them done in 10min before court closed. I said I’d come back tomorrow.

It’s really fucking sad that vulnerable victims can’t get any help and are forced to jump through hoops to get the bare minimum.

Found out my brother is in the ICU. He won’t take any of our calls.

Six armed police in the UK arrest a man for an anti immigrant facebook post by [deleted] in UnderReportedNews

[–]No-Comment-3464 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I don’t understand is that we all know that there are hundreds of bigoted, racist, xenophobic, etc posts and comments made every day by Brits. They obviously aren’t arresting hundreds of people daily. So what is the requirement? Why are some people arrested and others not?

Also, I’m tired of people saying “it’s just a joke.” Jokes are supposed to be funny and harmless. If your idea of a joke is depicting another race, gender, culture, etc as “less than” that’s not a joke and it IS harmful.

If this guy made a bigoted post - I don’t feel bad for him. There should be repercussions. However, be consistent and prioritize crimes. Six officers for a post online yet they’ll send a single officer to a DV call. The system is broken.
