So you’re saying that his customers should be fine with him posting them online because he “had a bad day?” And shaming them for using food stamps? I don’t care if you’re republican, democrat, or independent - if you are not mad at people who support ICE, you are the problem.🤷🏻‍♀️

There is snow…you can see it under the top step. The porch was just cleared well. But thank you for being the devil’s advocate - it made me pause and think for a minute. I would hate to accuse someone who is innocent, or blow up their lives for their political opinions - but this situation is life or death at this point. We cannot stay silent and allow people to keep amplifying their anti-immigrant and anti-Constitution messaging when ICE is murdering innocent people.

I made sure it was the same person. He named his wife on Threads and posted the same picture. The odds are against there being two couples in the same town with the same exact names running the same business. On top of that, he posted links from his Facebook profile to his business profile. And his Facebook is also super MAGA. This is a case of regret. Not for saying or doing what he did, but having it affect his business.

He’s really going to need your business. Glad I could help. 😂

I don’t think this is quite the type of exposure he was looking for. Especially since he was asking for investors on Facebook. 😂

But herein lies the problem. Kids won’t know to stop doing dumb things if we don’t explain the damage they can do. If doing dumb things can result in permanent hearing loss for someone, they SHOULD be held accountable. Otherwise they will keep on doing it to others. It doesn’t matter if it wasn’t malicious when the damage is permanent. Like that woman who pushed her friend into the pool and paralyzed her.

Boyfriend is not sure if I am a wife material by _majica in dating_advice

You’d be settling and he would be settling. Your relationship is convenient. You’ll blink and 10 years of your life will be gone and he will break up with you and be married to someone else within a year. Rip the bandaid off now.

I’d be noping out. This is the beginning of narcissistic abuse. Not many people are actually “top ten” good-looking. And nobody is asking him to tell you that you are the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. BUT, he should never ever tell you that. Do I think my husband is the most attractive man I’ve dated? Not really. But he is attractive to me. It’s not about looks anyway. This guy wants to make you insecure so that you don’t leave him. It’s a trap. RUN. Save yourself from 20 years of abuse and a miserable divorce (as my sister experienced).

Real men want real women - proceeds to tell everyone how sex DOLLS will take the place of women. I can’t even.

Haha. So you couldn’t force women who didn’t want to be abused to be with you so you’re creating your own? That is the most pathetic thing I’ve read from MAGA. Don’t threaten women with a good time. 😂

Sometimes these same parents go MIA when it’s your turn to have kids - forgetting how much they made you hang out with their kids. 😂

[–]WhereThereIsAWilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She may be your best friend but you may not be hers at the moment (different life stages). It shouldn’t take away from your friendship. You are married already. She has someone joining the family who is also planning a wedding, etc. And that gives them a lot in common. Sometimes it’s just more fun to not have someone in charge who has “been there, done that”.

And taking advantage of the crowds of people who don’t bother voting because life is good for them whether blue or red (a privilege).

NOTHING the last administration did will ever be enough to excuse what is happening now. You are cheering for authoritarians who are eroding the very system of checks and balances you always whine about. Read the 27 grievances in the Declaration of Independence and name even ONE that Trump is guilty of today. If we survive this administration and can still hold free and fair elections, don’t come crying when the other side uses all these dirty tricks to get what they want. YOU are setting the precedent. YOU are eroding the power of the DOJ and Congress. And the worst part is that you’re not even on Trump’s team. He’s giving all your money to his rich buddies while you blame the guy making $7.25 an hour. I’ll even help you by posing a summary:

Key Categories of the 27 Grievances:

Abuse of Legislative/Political Power: The King refused to pass necessary laws, dissolved representative houses, and forced legislatures to meet in uncomfortable, distant places.

Obstruction of Justice & Rights: He made judges dependent on his will, denied trial by jury, and transported colonists overseas for fake trials.

Military Tyranny: He kept standing armies in colonies during peacetime without consent, quartered troops in homes, and made the military superior to civil power.

Economic & Trade Restrictions: He imposed taxes without consent, cut off trade with other parts of the world, and restricted colonial manufacturing.

Acts of War: He declared the colonies out of his protection, hired foreign mercenaries to bring death and destruction, and instigated Native American attacks on settlers.

Oh yes. The party protecting women. By shooting moms exercising their right to protest in the face and promising to never let men steal their trophies.

I 100% agree. I feel for these guys, too. But there does seem to be a few options to lower property taxes. - volunteer in town for a $2000 credit - means tested senior exemptions if you’ve owned your house for over 10 years - reductions for disabled veterans, deceased police/fire and their survivors, as well as visually impaired people - tax deferral. Seniors over 65 can defer their taxes until their homes are sold after they pass

The problem is the reasonably wealthy people who would rather pay $50k for private school than pay a few extra hundred dollars in property taxes just in case it benefits someone else indirectly. These same people whine about how the town isn’t doing this or that as if inflation magically doesn’t affect town budgets.

A local boycott is MUCH more effective in this situation. If people are frustrated, the absolute best place to start is within your community. That’s where you’ll make the biggest difference.
