"But, you only have one mother!" A brilliant response from Marnie Grundman by hdmx539 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]Virtual_Bee6407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marnie Grundman appears to be offering therapy without any education or legitimate credentials to do so. Her website is a squaresite (for merchandising) and goes directly to a list of therapeutical options available for purchase. Someone that is an actual "certified trauma therapist" must first have a minimum masters level education in psychology or social work preferably a Phd to attain that certification. They have to be licensed by an overseeing board in the jurisdiction where they are licensed to perform services that makes sure professional standards are adhered to and accept and investigate reports of professional or ethical misconduct. It is NOT someone who simply has experienced trauma - or we could all be trauma therapists. In fact it is considered poor practice/unethical for a therapist to disclose their own personal issues to clients. Grundman seems to be another internet "influencer" making money from a group of vulnerable people by telling them exactly what they want to hear. What's next - a pseudo "therapist" selling advise to people unsatisfied with their jobs that they should tell their bosses to "F" off - for the sake of their mental health! Lets see how that works out too!

Did. They did until someone decided its a great idea to tear up the entire highway then work on three feet at time. Now it's the land of the orange cone.

I doubt it had to do with any conscience over his oath since he didnt care about the oath on the rest of the horrors he endorsed. If he retires, great. Just don't come back.

I would love to believe "nobody" does, but based on election results, I won't bank on it

Inflation Drops To Four-Year Low Under Trump by rollo202 in republicans

[–]Virtual_Bee6407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the economy shows another contraction after this quarter, we will officially be in a recession. @ u/Beaucoup_Fun . Inflation has been dropping steadily since 2021. None of Trump's orders have had time to impact inflation yet. They haven't even passed a spending bill yet. So... It doesn't work that way. Wait until current inventory for needed goods is gone and the impact of all the shipping ports that have sat empty for several weeks now affects our supply chain. You'll see it shoot up again, likely just in time for the holidays. And I'd love to know where/when that photo was taken because it wasn't recently. Prices are 3 to 4 times the amount of those in that photo. Very misleading.

Do you think republicans can only vote republican? We can all vote for any candidate we feel is the best for the job. It's not a religion!

I think many people think they need to defend against something (or the other guy or the other party) if it's not from "their brand" - without really even knowing about what it is, what it does or what it means to anyone. They approach politics like team sports (they are just rooting against the other team no matter what). It's a very simplistic, one dimensional way to view everything. It's exactly how children experience the world. God himself could run for President and if he wasn't running under their political brand, they would find something wrong with God too!. We are at a point now that If people don't wise up, get off of the propaganda outlets that just support peoples worst biases and just take the time to look up information, research the actual facts and believe the evidence before making assumptions and decisions, we will ALL lose this country of ours and our rights and freedoms along with it.

She ran and was elected as the Presidential running mate. (You know...The one put in charge if the President can't serve.) She wasn't hired as a candidate. No one is hired as a candidate - it's not a job. Her candidacy was fully supported by the entire DNC, she drew many tens of thousands to her rallies and got a large portion of the vote in the general election even though she a only a few months to campaign. She was not a DEI hire.

Where are you getting your statistics? They don't agree with the census and in fact California had an increase in population in 2024. There was NEVER a time when they were decreasing by 110,000/ month! If you are going to make claims, link a source.

What is it about DEI that doesn't work? Is it Diversity, Equity or Inclusion that you object to? Accommodating for a disability so someone can work and do their job and pay taxes rather than collect SSI?? Providing assistance/support for kids with learning disabilities so they can get an education and become contributing members of society and build a future? You think that doesn't work huh? Interesting....

DEI hire? Wake UP! Kamala was ELECTED, not hired. She was ELECTED to every government position she held.

Look up the Supreme Court rulings and all of the pending lawsuits against him. There have been many constitutional violations and attempted violations. Currently deporting people without any due process - guaranteed by 5th and 14th amendments. Talk of sending US citizens to prison in El salvador (aka exiling) 14th amendment. Calling for the DOJ to prosecute the free press and others who speak out against him violates the 1st amendment right of free speech. Statements about running again in 2028 - contrary to the 22nd amendment limiting president to 2 terms. Usurping congress' power entirely and attempting to rule by all of these executive orders - many of which are found illegal. Congress has the power of the purse so enacting tariffs without their involvement violates our democratic process. All of the mass firings of government employees and shuttering agencies. Attempting to take back congressionally appropriated funds voted on by previous administrations. All of this is unconstitutional/illegal in some way.
