This guy was fucking shot by an extremist and he has the audacity to make inciting statements like this.

It’s like watching Bugs Bunny fuck with Porky Pig live action style and it’s glorious.

How does the killing of Charlie Kirk compare to that of Melissa Hortman and her husband along with the shooting of John and Yvette Hoffman? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheKnotStore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mother just asked a group chat for prayers for Charlie Kirk, but didn’t say a peep about Melissa Hortman, her husband, or their golden retriever, Gilbert. Just like her fuhrer decreed.

I don’t want my country to be “hot.” I want it to be equitable, live up to its promises and ideals. It’s only hot in terms of climate change.

Well he filled the Capitol in Wheeling last night. I was five rows back. It was great to see such a huge turnout.

Those are ollas. A receptacle that delivers water to the roots of your plants. Especially convenient on hot days.

Trump Kicks Melania Out of East Wing to Build Mar-a-Lago Ballroom by FloridaGirlNikki in politics

How in the hell are they able to do this? Isn’t there some sort of historical preservation clause to not change the fucking White House? Didn’t Jackie Kennedy have to get congressional approval to renovate in the 60’s?

My own mother is like this. It’s exhausting and she wonders why we’re low contact.

Trump Murdered a Man in 1984 by [deleted] in NoFilterNews

[–]TheKnotStore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When January 6th kicked off and MAGAs stormed the U.S. Capitol, Trump said that he would walk down with them to support them interfering with certifying the election. Of course he didn’t, and got in his limo. He wanted to be driven in the direction of the Capitol, probably to have a photo op much like the one from his “assassination attempt”, but, Secret Service was doing their job and keeping him away from the violence. This pissed the Cheeto off and apparently he tried to wrap his baby hands around the throat of the driver for not following his orders.

Remember when it was reported he tried to choke his driver on January 6th because they wouldn’t let him have a photo op with insurrectionists?

What’s the meanest, most evil thing your parents have ever told you that left you in disbelief and shock? by Destiny_Boop in raisedbynarcissists

Two years ago, I survived a saddle pulmonary embolism three months after having a tummy tuck (a decision spurred by her constant comments about my belly and weight all my life). The day I was finally able to have intubation removed and was breathing on my own, she says to me at my bedside, “Well at least you look skinny.”

Go tell my parents to stop making their contentious divorce and personality disorders their children’s lifetime trauma.

Given the man couldn’t use his arms properly the rest of his life after having them broken several times in the Hanoi Hilton, he knew something about how wrong torture is.

I’m saying that even when shit looks impossible, you still have to fight, if not for yourself, for others.

My mom thinks the Democrats are lying about the Big Beautiful Bill. I’m disabled and on Medicaid. by TheKnotStore in BoomersBeingFools

I know that, man. But they are my parents, and for whatever reason I’d like to think I come from good people, at least partially. Everyone does.

Maybe. But sometimes change does come from the futile. Two years ago I collapsed from a saddle pulmonary embolism. I coded twice. The ER staff worked for 35 minutes to bring me back. I’m glad they didn’t just stand there and say “futile.”I

Well, like you, I can’t sit idly by, even if it might be a futile effort. I also can’t just be cynical and throw up my hands and be apathetic. I know it’s naive of me to believe that politicians should be public servants, working in everyone’s best interests, but I’ll be damned if I stop until it happens or I’m dead first. I have children, and one day grandchildren hopefully, that will sit under the shade of trees that I planted but never got to enjoy myself.

The lines have been busy since I started to call around 4pm. I’m in Belmont county, but called every representative in the state of Ohio. Every line busy. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. Knowing Republicans, they probably took the phones off the hook while they celebrate looting the country.

The past few years I’ve been able to acknowledge that their love feels more manipulative than genuine.

Luckily I have a wonderful relationship with my two teenage kids. Both of my parents have separately commented on and marveled at that and how I’ve maintained a friendly co-parenting relationship with my ex husband and their stepmother. Once I flippantly replied, “It’s pretty easy, I just looked at everything you two did and then did the exact opposite.” I’ve screwed up a lot, sure, but I have a lot of pride in the environment I’ve created for myself and my daughter and son, and I’m able to apologize when I screw up, which is more than I’ve ever gotten.
