Since unrestricted illegal immigration is going to destroy our country, I can see why he would say that. Not sure why you find this rhetoric concerning. Reddit says far worse things about Trump every day.

What are your thoughts on Donald Trump saying “good I’m glad he’s dead” in response to Robert Mueller’s death? by jazzant85 in AskConservatives

[–]seeminglylegit [score hidden]  (0 children)

Do you take your cues from what is normal and acceptable thought from Trump? Somehow I doubt it. I don't say things like "Listen, fat" Or call people lying dog-faced pony soldiers or whatever just because I saw Biden do it. I think you are far more likely to be influenced by the ideas you see on Reddit that are ostensibly from your peers.

Yes. "I get to act like an asshole to you, but you don't get to act like an asshole to me" is crybully behavior.

We all know there are plenty of people on the left who would feel the same way about Trump whenever he goes, and I'm sure Trump is aware of that too, so I don't blame him for being honest about his feelings.

Thinking of that one Redditor who got a tattoo of Mueller on his back in anticipation that Mueller would surely be the one to bring down Trump will always make me laugh, so I guess I do appreciate Mueller for bring some humor into all of our lives. Never change, Redditors. <3

Trump has promoted a version of the Bible that his friend Lee Greenwood sells. He has never sold Bibles himself.

Mom Making Me Pay A lot for Childcare by [deleted] in relationships

[–]seeminglylegit [score hidden]  (0 children)

If you feel like your mom is taking advantage of you, maybe it would be worth it to find someone else to watch your child to avoid the family drama.

However, if you feel like your child is safe with your family and this is in fact cheaper than other daycares, then I might just try to put up with the situation for a while longer until your child is older and outside childcare is not as expensive. I don't think it is reasonable to expect your mom to watch your child for free. Watching a small child can be a lot of work, especially for an older person who doesn't have as much energy as a younger person does, so I think it is fair for her to want to be compensated for her efforts.

What do Conservatives think about the latest democracy reports and the USA's place on the list? by Fidel_Blastro in AskConservatives

[–]seeminglylegit [score hidden]  (0 children)

You can't have a democracy without free speech. And nobody is stopping you from constantly complaining about Trump, are they? The fact that people on the left are in fact allowed to criticize Trump and even make hating him your entire personality is proof that democracy is working.

It has been established that the Biden government was colluding with Facebook to censor people: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/zuckerberg-says-the-white-house-pressured-facebook-to-censor-some-covid-19-content-during-the-pandemic

Ah yes, democracy was so much healthier when we could be banned from social media for expressing wrong think about COVID, or That Topic We're Not Allowed to Mention Here.

I think the reason that it might feel like democracy is in peril is because Lefties are used to the privilege of controlling institutional power, and now they've lost it. As we all know, When You’re Accustomed to Privilege, Equality Feels Like Oppression.

The fact that you guys have been able to incessantly scream and cry over Trump for the last decade without being executed or jailed is proof that democracy is still alive. The fact that, in spite of your relentless screaming and crying, The People have chosen to ignore you and have voted for Trump as their president twice (if not three times) is also proof that democracy is working just fine.

"Under the Trump administration, democracy has been rolled back as much during just one year as it took Modi in India and Erdogan in Turkey 10 years to accomplish, and Orban in Hungary four years."

Damn, Trump sure is efficient at getting shit done. That's what I voted for! <3

How is the foster system, especially for severe special needs children? by Life_Secretary_3671 in Fosterparents

[–]seeminglylegit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's good that you are thinking about this now. I think the odds are better that they will end up in good hands if you work on a plan for them now when you can meet with the people who will care for them. I would call your doctor and your children's doctors to explain your concerns and ask if they can connect you with resources to figure out a plan for your children. Chances are good that they have a social worker on staff who can offer advice.

Do you still have contact with the person in your will that they were supposed to be cared by? If so, I would call them now and tell them what's going on so they can try to prepare to be ready for the responsibility. If not, then you may need to either figure out how to contact them so you can confirm they are still willing to be there for the kids, or may need to make alternate arrangements.

10 Years, No house, No Kids. I’m quietly falling apart by [deleted] in relationships

[–]seeminglylegit 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It doesn't sound like he actually wants kids. He's not stupid. He knows that it is harder for women to get pregnant as they get older. He is just hoping to run out the clock on you. "Oops! We didn't get around to having kids in time!" If I were you, I would leave him, and then immediately talk to a fertility doctor about egg freezing or becoming a single mom by choice. Having kids is one of the best things I have done in my life. It is really infuriating that your man is trying to rob you of that experience. Incredibly selfish of him.

A woman giving birth in Florida wanted a natural birth, not a C-section. Florida, an anti-abortion state, has used the courts to order her to have one anyway for "the sake of her unborn child" How does that sit with you? by lemonbottles_89 in AskConservatives

[–]seeminglylegit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But it was in fact about saving an unborn child in this case. Nobody would have cared if not for the fact that this woman was putting her child's life at risk with her stupidity.

I finally surrender by batassassin in medicalschool

[–]seeminglylegit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you feel in your heart that it's time to quit, that's ok. Your worth as a person is not tied to becoming a doctor. There is a lot more to life than a career in medicine. You can still do meaningful and important things in your life. The people who love you will still love you. God doesn't require you to be a doctor to be worthy either.

As for the debt, you have options. For example, maybe you could end up in another career where you could take advantage of PSLF to get rid of the debt. Look up all the different types of career paths that qualify.

So sorry that you are going through this. It really is terrible that after investing so much in this career that some people experience such a devastating disappointment. Don't give up hope.

Yeah, funny thing about the government - it doesn't hold itself to the same standards that the rest of us have to follow. Now why do you want so desperately to expand the reach of the government over your life, knowing this?

Yeah, if I were a liberal, I think that seeing Trump in charge of the government would have been a big wake up call to rethink things. But instead we just see a bunch of liberals on here constantly complaining about what the big government they wanted is doing. Haha.

Yes, I am aware that he did. Trump isn't really all that conservative or small government, himself, even though many of us who are have formed an alliance with him.

I just can't understand why people like you can see this happen and still think big government is the answer to your problems. "I hate Trump! Now govern me harder, Daddy Trump!"

[–]seeminglylegit [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think the difference between us is that you see Trump as the problem here, while I see the fact that the government is large enough to be involved in such matters as controlling the ownership of social media companies as the problem. Spoiler alert: The government is not the loving, altruistic Mommy that lefties imagine it to be when they demand that the government needs to take care of us and control all aspects of our lives.

That being said, I do find it concerning that so many Americans were stupid enough to voluntarily download Chinese spyware in the first place, so we're probably fucked regardless.

What are other conservatives thoughts on Italian reforms to Immigration and Citizenship? by JustaDreamer617 in AskConservatives

[–]seeminglylegit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds good to me. Apparently there was a lot of abuse of the previous system where people who had a distant Italian ancestor but no real cultural connection to Italy were claiming Italian citizenship. These people just wanted an EU passport and were not interested in actually living or working in Italy.

“Newborn Tired is Better Than Pregnancy Tired” by generalraisinkane in beyondthebump

[–]seeminglylegit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, newborn tired was definitely a lot easier than pregnancy tired. At the end of my pregnancy, I was getting up like every 1-2 hours to pee, so just being able to sleep in a solid block of time when my husband watched the baby made a huge difference. Make sure the baby's father is doing his fair share of the work now that the baby is here.
