In certain ways it is painful to live in America version 2022

[Stinky The Clown]

Watching Ukraine pay a fearsome price as it stands ALONE and is made to live by its wits. That is painful to watch.

Learning that Texas is denying treatment as may be needed by trans kids. That is painful to watch.

Hearing that a Missouri state legislator is calling for law to make getting or performing an abortion a death penalty violation. That is painful to watch.

Watching Fox News invent Ukranian bioweapons and then hear the Russian UN ambassador bring that to the Security Council. That is painful to watch.

Even as I don't know who was first, Texas has its own abortion death penalty legislation advancing. That is painful to watch.

Learning of the drug overdose deaths of West Point cadets on Spring break is a first. That is painful to watch.



And that's just today.

2. It has certainly brought the black dog to my door.

Sometimes I think that there is no hope, but I have duties that I must honor, so I have to bear it.

There are two kinds of people, fighters and quitters; you just have to stay in there and keep swinging. Sooner or later you will connect, and you will be proud.

3. Giving up is not in my DNA. Feeling the pain of others is also in my DNA

5. And empathy is a big difference in conservatives and liberals.

4. Just an FYI: Tx judge puts a stop to this nasty trans kids/child abuse crap

6. I read that. It was an injunction.

Such things have sort of a history of getting overturned on appeal. Then that gets overturned. Each such event moving closer to the Right Wing Winner's Circle - The SUUUUUPREEEEEEEMES!!!!!
