The crying over fairly small things...part of the Venlafaxine withdrawal

THIS IS THE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT GROUP. Abrasive and unkind comments are not welcome here.


Yes, it's probably clinical depression coming back. I almost never cry. It's not that I'm opposed to crying, but that external (and internal) events never get me to that point. Also, blame typical macho male programming in the American south.

February 3rd cannot arrive too soon.

It CAN happen again. It CAN happen in this country. Did anyone really think Trump would get elected, the asshole/racist/sexist/neo-nazi lover he is ? If the overton window does not get shifted to the left, we're sliding slowly towards it.

The first camps would be for Muslims. Then anyone to the left of Hitler, labor unions, and entire gamut of Nazi untermenschen.

When Trump is FINALLY gone, what percentage of his voters will be ashamed?

Of course we know the really hard core racists aka KKK and neo-Nazis will always love him. How about the rest? I would hope the percentage is close to over 50%, if not much higher. I suppose if you're racist enough to vote for Trump despite all the evidence, you might not be ashamed? I rarely talk to Republicans, so I don't any clue to an answer.

"Trump...told May that he would not visit the UK unless she bans the planned protests..."

WHAT. A. FLAGILE. SNOWFLAKE. Trump literally, no joke, told May that he would not visit the UK unless she bans the planned protests when he arrives.

Donald Trump is refusing to visit the UK unless Theresa May can ensure that he is not met with protests.

Bloomberg revealed that Trump complained in a phone call to May about the "negative coverage" he has received in the British press.

May told the US president that that was how the UK media operated and she could do little to change it.

Trump went on to say that he would not visit the UK unless there were guarantees that he would not be met with protests.

1. The matter-of-fact way he states, “Today was not a good learning day.” Which, in this context, is the equivalent of starting a sentence with, “But I just think it’s kinda funny that ... ”

2. “I only wanted to hear you not talking” is probably the best burn I’ve heard since Morgan Freeman’s character in Glory called Denzel a “smart-mouthed, stupid-ass, swamp-runnin’ nigga.” It also doubles as the single best response to white tears ever.

3. “You said something wrong and I can’t listen when I hear lies” is totally going to be my reply the next time Tucker Carlson invites me on his show.

4. The fact that the kid was astute (and funny) enough to say, “The only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace,” and say it in the right context. Some people wait their entire lives for the perfect storm of the perfect pop-culture-reference burn, and this kid got one at 9 (?). I’m jealous.
