I’m still hearing about Tulsi from two people. Insert eyeroll here.

Damn.

Downvotes are probably the people still livid that Tulsi failed, and who want a third party to break into this hopelessly entrenched duopoly of an election system.

Fair enough, but thinking you can fix it by yourself isn’t going to fix it, just help Trump win.

This is a lot of reading for so early in the morning. I’ll wait for the Jon Oliver expose on her. His RFK episode didn’t disappoint.

That’s always the lame cover up.

It’s a white thing. Nothing is a monolith, mileage always varies, but look at what, middle of the bell curve, look at what our culture does. Take a close, hard look at nursing homes. Many cultures don’t have them. We do. Why? Because each generation tends to have a “I have my own life to live” attitude.

Get out of the house. No, really. What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you still living at home? Are you deficient? Lazy? A mooch? Do you lack adulting capacity? What is wrong with you? Why are you 20(+) and still living at home? 30 and still at home? You probably don’t qualify as human any more.

This attitude from the very people who then end up abandoned in a nursing home by these kids they pushed out, later. Some, loudly lamenting how their kids abandoned them there, never come to visit, and are now living in their house.

Multigenerational is moving in, yes, but it’s not where things started, for sure. Some white parents even charge rent at 18.

Mileage varies. My white family did none of this. My mom is in a mother in law apartment on my property. Her parents lived with us. I lived with her during college. And so on.

But there’s a prevailing get out of the house as soon as high scho graduation hits, and an “I have my own life to live” attitude.

I’m in the medical industry.

I’m trying to use non-industry language with a not terrible article to help you understand. But you seem to want to be pedantic regarding some kind of investment in Trump’s words on late term and possibly even post birth “abortion” being a thing when it certainly is not.

I’ve attempted to educate. You’ve attempted to subvert that and go full bore pedantic. And now I need to go to work.

How is disrupting a hospital even relevant? So everyone having babies, heart attacks, strokes, perforated bowels from diverticulitis, kids and adults needing appendix removal, car accident victims (like that school bus), and so much more can’t get care or receive delayed care?

How does that help anything?

What exactly is “woman-made destruction”? Trump’s mom giving birth to him?

Isn’t that the Project 2025 plan? The bloodless coup thing?

Refuse to certify. Kick it to the house where Mike also refuses to certify. And if too many DEMs win for a flip refuse to certify them. Kick it to the states where each Governor gets one vote. Right now, that’s a Trump win.

Constitutional. Happened once in American history.

That’s going to catch some people, especially older ones.

Here’s a fairly accessible article on D&C. It even puts it into Roe context.

Second Trimester. Those are the happy hormones. Mileage can vary, always, like with those individuals who have morning sickness right up until they give birth, as one example. But high odds for second trimester happy hormones.

No, I just argued with a repub relative. “I heard trump did fantastic.” And they probably won’t watch the debate, just take cues from pundits. So there will be folks who remain blissfully ignorant of what actually happened during the debate.

If he’d just fact check the statistics by, idk, maybe talking to medical personnel, he’d know the late term “abortion” statistics are stillbirth removal. The procedure used to do a stillbirth removal: abortion. That’s where the confusion comes in. Removal of the fetus for any reason is an abortion. Statistics don’t document the details on the procedure.

So he’s already talking crazy. And then he’s saying they’re executing infants after birth. What is that? How do you even get to that place that those words are allowed to earnestly spill from your mouth?

He was so thrown off. Debate summary:

.

Kamala: This is a man easily led around by his ego by people like Putin and Kim Jong Un.

.

Trump: But immigrants. Democrats kill babies after they’re born.

.

Moderator: Sir, in none of the 50 states are they killing babies after they are born.

.

Trump: But immigrants. Kamala isn’t about law and order.

.

Kamala: I’ve locked people up. I’ll lock you up.

.

Trump: But immigrants. Kamala wants to take away your guns.

.

Kamala: I own a gun.

.

Moderator: Question Kamala doesn’t want to or can’t answer.

.

Kamala: Let me invite you to one of Trumps rallies. Where the crowd sizes are small and people start to leave out of boredom.

.

Trump: Takes bait, thus proving Kamala’s opening remark.

.

Also Trump: But immigrants. They’re eating the cats and dogs.

.

Moderator: Sir, spoiler alert, they’re not eating the cats and dogs. Per the mayor or Springfield, there are no reports of missing animals.

.

Trump, looking every one of his 78 years: But immigrants. They’re eating the cats and dogs. I saw it on the television.

.

Kamala: … 🙄😮😧🙄😃😄🙄…

.

Moderator: Sir, they’re not eating the cats and dogs.

.

Trump, after debate: I clearly won. The only reason they want another debate is because they lost, that’s what losers do, ask for a rematch.

.

Also, there’s a school of thought out there that Trump has a little crush on Kamala. Creepy, but credible. They’re citing a prior 9/11 memorial get together where you see him on camera more or less asking for an introduction to her. If it’s true, she knows. She’s been gorgeous her whole life, has navigated that garbage for ~45yrs now. She knows. If it’s there she knows. And she stepped into his personal bubble to shake hands at the very start. He was a little startled. If he is indeed crushing, that would set a guy like Trump back on his heels even more so than the usual. He doesn’t even have a shitty little nickname for her, why? Paints the crowd size/bored dig in a new light as well.

That and she had moderate conservative answers for everything. He didn’t know how to debate that.

I still don’t understand how he’s anyone’s candidate with statements like this.

I also don’t understand why every media outlet isn’t, and hasn’t in the past, just headlined all this blatant self-interest in earnest.
