US continues to go backward...

Republicans are pushing for an end to no-fault divorce.

That would mean you need to prove your husband did something wrong, like commit adultery or domestic violence — in order to be granted a divorce.

Conservative US lawmakers are pushing for an end to no-fault divorce

Republicans in Louisiana, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas have discussed eliminating or restricting such cases

The step before 1-vote per household. How can any self respecting woman ever vote MAGA?

The step before 1-vote per household. How can any self respecting woman ever vote MAGA?

Because it won't happen to them. That's been a mantra the past 6 months. People are ok trampling on the rights of others but then are shocked when their rights are trampled on. You would think at some point people would realize that this probably isn't going to go like they hoped.

So they got rid of the cracker and white people are upset?


Yeah I need to get offended more often because I probably wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't pointed out multiple times by people who are never going there again.

It became the least expensive advertising effort of all time - right up with American Eagle

Whoa


BREAKING: The Minneapolis church shooter didn’t stand for LGBTQ, human rights, or anybody. He wasn’t left or right, just a sick dude full of hate for Mexicans, Black people & life itself…and especially Jesus Christ. Just watch the video

What’s more interesting is that the guy telling them to ignore the court has been ignoring the Ten Commandments himself and is in the middle of a divorce proceeding initiated by his wife.

This is why I can’t w the GOP. Just stop doing this sh!+. We had more children shot this morning than we have trans athletes competing in the US at high school and college combined but not one thing will be done to protect kids.

It reflects why so many politicians don't seem upset by the frequent bombing and armed attacks against by Israel upon the children and other innocent people in Gaza. If Republicans want to ban all abortion, they better first act more concerned about protecting children from senseless attacks.

I couldn't help but notice the "kill Donald Trump" and "Israel must fall" among other extremist leftist ideals written on his weapons.

The ONLY legitimate attempt on Trump's life came from a Trump supporter

And do you need a history lesson of antisemitism from Far Right extremist????

BREAKING: Fox “News” host Sean Hannity says the Minneapolis shooting would’ve been prevented if metal detectors were used at the school.

The kids were in a church and the shooter shot through a window.

When I was teaching , kids too often came to class without a pencil. I bought a gross of pencils then divided the price by 144 and it came out to $0,04857 per pencil so I charged $.05 each. Damned near got a letter of reprimand in my file for profiting off of students.
I have zero sympathy for crybabies going to Washington with a reasonable salary and spending their time playing the market with insider information and becoming millionaires practically overnight. This crap must stop. Make it illegal and give them something to truly cry about.

How do you respond to stuff like this without being condescending? Im not trying to be a jerk to what you are saying, just curious. Its a rando on Facebook whose mind is obviously made up and although I have no intention of responding, some of the comments about silence equaling complicity got me to thinking that ignoring this sort of thing might not be the best strategy.

I had to laugh at those posts. Imagine thinking the vaccine killed 10x more people than COVID.

I had a patient today who "I don't trust big pharma" but he smokes 2 packs per day and apparently is just fine trusting big tobacco. It's actually in his PCP's note that he "doesn't trust big pharma." I have a lot of patients like that, he's not the only one. But I've managed to get his A1c under 7. I may never convince him to quit smoking, but I'm not going to stop trying. I also may never convince him to take a statin, though with his age and diabetes he needs to be on a high intensity statin. But, again, I won't stop trying. If I condescended to him, even the slightest bit, I would be useless as a clinician and his A1c would still be 9+.

How do I not condescend to people like that? I realize that many if not most of the ivermectin/HCQ people are relatively intelligent people who have been deceived.

I know what I want from him, and that is to control his diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. and I stay focused on that. What do you want, to be away from stupid people or to win the next election? If it is the former, keep condescending. They'll stay away from you. If it is to win the next election, then you have to change your strategy and that means changing your tone.

The ones that really anger me are the ones that call COVID a "fake virus". My brother's wife died from a fake virus.

Agreed. I'm sorry for your loss. Yeah, a lady one of my friends was dating died from COVID. Unvaxxed also.
