I want a divorce from half of the country

[Horse with no Name]

is that too much to ask???

[LonePirate]

1. No need for a divorce. Just wait out their rapidly decreasing life spans.

Once they lose their health care on top of the coming reductions for Social Security, Medicare and every form of government assistance like SNAP and college education grants, their death rates will start soaring. There may not be many people left in that half of the country which you want to divorce.

4. Unfortunately

They are not the only ones affected.

7. Rural hospitals and doctors will be some of the first casualties of the ACA repeal.

Were it not for the Medicaid expansion within the ACA millions of rural Americans would have already lost their local hospitals and doctors. Hospitals and doctors will soon be a luxury afforded only to city folk and not to rural people. As such, lifespans of rural, red states are going to go over a cliff soon.

9. New slogan:

Vote Democrat or Fuck Off and Die

[LonePirate]

10. Here's the opposing side's slogan:

Vote Republican! Who wants to live a long, happy life anyway?

[tecelote]

16. +1!

2. Whenever did you marry them?

It's been legal to marry the other half too now for a couple of years.

3. We are all married whether we like it or not

It's the "for better for worse" part that I am having a hard time with....

[jberryhill]

5. Then we should talk about the lack of sex in this relationship

I didn't know we were married, but I have to say that this marriage has obviously been ignoring the clear distance in the bedroom among you, me and 150 million or so other folks.

6. Not sure about you but I kind of feel like we are getting fucked on a daily basis

[jberryhill]

8. Hmmm, nobody told me the safe word, either

[Nay]

20. With Republicans, the safe word doesn't work. You end up dead by the hand

of a serial killer.

[Hortensis]

19. Yup. Me too. If only we could get them to agree

to seek counseling.

11. i feel like it was too recently that we went thru

all this shit with bush

maybe the republikans feel the same way about bill clinton & obama but damn...

remember "sorry everybody" dot com? that was a heartbreaker website

wonder if it will be revived

[byronius]

15. I bought that book. Very moving.

It's still up.

17. i had the book as well

but i thought the website was incredible
i printed photos from it and collected them in a large notebook

[smirkymonkey]

18. Thanks for that.

It is strangely comforting right now to know how many people are as upset as I am.

12. This is getting like one long nightmare of a Thanksgiving dinner with right wing relatives

Shhhh! Watch what you say about Uncle Ed's Trump hat or he'll kick your ass! Keep the peace.

Think of the chill--dren!

13. I was a "baby spouse" like most people.

I came into the world about the same time that conservative authoritarians were shouting, "My country, right or wrong!" during the Vietnam conflict.

14. 'Oh, baby, you know I didn't mean it! You just get me so mad sometimes!'

I think logically we should get the kids. Supervised visitation, and monthly tests for meth and oxycontin.
