Sarabee wants to talk about the potential for WWIII. I’m personally terrified and was kind of trying to ignore it. And by ignore it I mean on CNN all the time muttering “this is really bad.” I’m over here dealing with new drama every day. I am just trying to make Banjo comfortable and live in my house and try to make sure I remember to pay bills because I cannot remember what I was doing an hour ago. I can’t find my doctor’s office, the birds have made a nest in my broken mail box. I REALLY need to get to the bank and Home Depot. And every day my email is full of who is dead, and who is dying. And horrible news. I just can’t.
But yes I woke up to CNN on my TV and this is bad. So if you want to talk about it, do it here.
I’m terrified for those living closest to it and scared for all of us.
Love each other, people.
Anna Mccord’s video to Putin IS EVERYTHING! That fragile fuck.
You just might be the only person in the 15 million people that viewed it that thinks that poem is everything!
What the heck are y’all talking about?
Is this sarcasm?
Only two people needed to die to have stopped all this and saved lots of innocent lives: Trump and Putin! Butt buddies. Motherfuckers.
There is a large Ukrainian presence here in Sacramento. Most have family back in the Ukraine.
I didn’t realize that you lived in Sacramento! I was raised there but now I’m in San Diego.
Wow, small world…I grew up in Sactown as well! Now in Seattle. I’m the dumbass that moved here for the weather.
That’s funny! I moved from Boston to SF for the weather. Ten years later, l moved 20 miles south. Warmer summers, but not too warm.
My best friend since 1967 lives in the Kensington area of San Diego. That’s my favorite city in California!
Well, I live in Sactown but am from Oceanside CA!
I lived in San Diego for 15 years. Grew up in the Bay Area. Now back in the Sierra Nevada
I hope the Russian military leaders realize the ill advised path that egomaniac Putin is taking them and stage a coup! A bullet to the head from someone in his inner circle will also do the trick.
Completely agree with you about Putin. But just an FYI Trump is not president. Putin did this because Biden is president.
I don’t think so at all. Biden is handling this extremely well and Trump said on Faux News that this was a great move by Putin and that he is friends with Putin and knows him very well. Trump didn’t even participate in NATO and would have supported Putin doing this as hexis now. Get your facts straight. I am so tired of you delusional Trump cultists.
A person may not be a Trump supporter to blame this on Biden. People are blaming the Afghanistan exit on Biden too. That, also was started by Trump.
The wheels were put in motion while Trump was still president. Remember the Russian tanks lined up at the Ukrainian border in 2020?
The wheels were put on when Russia annexed Crimea. Schroeder, Germany’s PM until 2005 gave the go ahead to Nord Stream. Took a job in Russia.., yada yada.
The only possible argument for Trump being responsible is the fact he did supply Ukraine with weapons,. Considering Putin’s threats to Finland and Sweden if they joined NATO that could be provocative.
Trump is an raging asshole but he did not Fuck this up. Biden is weak, Germany sold it’s soul and there will always be those who exploit a power vacuum.
It is called history
Give me a break. He didn’t need to do it w/trump bc he had a useful idiot in office who tried to weaken NATO & create chaos domestically, which is Putin’s goal. Putin hates NATO & wants it broken up. Wonder why? Do you realize trump’s saying how savvy & what a genius Putin is? He’s got his sycophants in Congress saying it too bc they want to keep their jobs. There is no country over party anymore in the GOP. It’s trump over EVERYTHING with them. It’s a cult if you ask me. Trump would’ve let him waltz right in & take Ukraine w/little or no pushback, from the US bc he’s in awe of Putin & wishes he too could be a fascist dictator. Trump’s done business w/Russians for years & his own son said they have a lot of money pouring in from Russia. Trump’s a Putin sympathizer. We need to side eye anybody, especially the leader of the free world, admiring Putin.
Sorry for the long rant because i usually just read everyday but it’s infuriating to see & hear people say this kind of stuff.
Putin is NOT scared of trump. Nobody knows why Putin decided to invade now.
Yes, and per literally every analyst out there and the man’s own ranting – he’s wanted to do this since he took power, 20 odd years ago, several presidents ago. Before he lost the plot he wasn’t an idiot. He’s a narcissistic, evil autocrat. It’s just incredibly egocentric for any American to think it’s all about us, Republican or Democrat. We don’t fucking matter that much.
totally agree. Putin would not have dared do this if Trump was in office. Biden is weak, and Putin is taking advantage of that.
Trump is cheering Putin on. How stupid are you?
And Mussolini made the trains run on time.
Trump was Putin’s biggest cheerleader…. And let’s not forget Trump’s quid pro quo where he tried to extort Ukraine’s president!
Sadly Barbara, some people see what they want to see. We can’t help stupid.
Nanette, I live in Sacramento (Elk Grove) too. Yes, we have a large Ukrainian, some are my coworkers/friends. Ben 🙏🏽🙏🏽 for their relatives.
I’d finally gotten my anxiety somewhat under control, and now its back again despite the meds and meditation and fucking “mindfulness”. Hearing the fighter jets overhead constantly doesn’t help, even though living close to an Airforce base I’ve gotten used to the sound of the test drills. You would think after two world wars, and it now being the twenty first century we’d have learned SOMETHING! Nope. We (and by we I mean our collective governments), are as bloodthirsty and greedy as they’ve ever been.
Tamara, you and Banjo are on my mind. I wish you strength for whatever you are going through.
I also live near an AFB and it is also VERY ACTIVE lately.
Live next to an army base, and it’s nonstop air activity. I tend to think people overreact most of the time thinking the end is near, but I am a bit scared at this point. They’re definitely training for something; I really hope we aren’t going to war against Russia.
It’s the same at Dobbins. LOTS of planes flew out at once a couple of days ago.
I am very sorry that you are going back to tge bad places you worked so hard to overcome.
Maybe earbuds to shut out the noise? It’s not being an ostrich to avoid things we have no control over.
Until or if we find out there IS something we can do, I am going to keep it simple — the good old Serenity Principle.
Best wishes 💙💙💙💙
After the last 2 years of covid this is the last thing the world needs! This is completely avoidable. Putin is pure evil and an egomaniac.
What is unbelievable is bs coming from Fox News, and twice impeached, disgraced Dump Truck praising Putin! It’s disgusting! UnAmerican!
World democracy on the line.
I was livid when the orange menace praised that maniac! Former Secty of State Pompuspeo did too.
I have been trying to ignore this and hope that it somehow deescalates. I am afraid for those living through this and for the ripple effects for ALL. The other day I was outside at work and 3 black helicopters and a Chinook flew over low. It made my whole body get chills.
I live close to an army base and my son’s school is even closer. There are always helicopters and Chinooks flying overhead. I haven’t seen any while driving to and picking him up from school this week. That’s scary to me because they are not there. A portion have been deployed.
Oh no that is scary! They rarely fly over my area so that activity is a new thing. That’s why it creeped me out. Changes are all around us. I pray for us all.
My boyfriend is from Ukraine and still has family in Odessa. The women want to take their children and run but they don’t know where to go and the men are just now realizing they have to fight. None of them believed this day would come, and they are both overwhelmed and scared. Please pray for them and for the people of Ukraine. There will be no winners in this war.
I am so so sorry, I am hearing that they are not letting any male 18-60 leave the country. Our best hope is that Russia itself stops him. They were taking to the streets of Russia by the thousands last night and it lifted my heart. But this is devastating news, I was crying at work yesterday. All I can think to do is pray. And exactly how is this Biden’s fault?
You are correct, they will not allow the men to leave. They declared Marshall Law and want the citizens to stay and fight. My boyfriend’s male cousin is now MIA. We last heard from him over 32 hours ago and he was saying he was going to fight for his country. We don’t know what happened after that. His female cousin and her family (son and husband) are hunkered down in their home in Odessa but they are constantly hearing bombs and shooting and they do not feel safe there. They do not feel safe anywhere. We last heard from her this morning. I know the war is at a critical point right now and the main battle is over Kyiv, but the whole country and all of it’s citizens are in danger. It is a very helpless feeling to be over here unable to help them. All we can do is continue to pray.
I hope you hear from his cousin soon- I would say no news is good news. He is a hero and busy fighting the good fight. Morale is very high and Ukraine is fighting back and receiving aid and weaponry -everyone around the world is supporting Ukraine. It seems every hour I hear about someone blocking their cargo from being shipped, cutting their internet, the entire world is coming together. I believe in prayer (I’m a lapsed Catholic but I have holy water next to my bed), the WORLD is praying for Ukraine.
I was reading an article earlier about a man hugging his daughter bye, not knowing when or if he will see her again because men ages 18-60 must stay. This is heartbreaking. 💔😢
PRAYERS 4 UKRAINE!!! 🙏
I saw that too and could not bear to click on the video… 🙁
Truly awful.
The only positive is some conservative friends and family members have finally turned on Trump after he called Putin “smart” & “savvy” — but there are still some saying to me that Putin isn’t that bad. It’s really mind-blowing and scary.
I don’t think they have. Sadly. Also, an entire population is / will be wiped from the face of the earth.Trump is a Russian agent. Don’t ever forget this.
Absolute devastating. I can’t stop crying. My true best friend from undergrad was from Ukraine.
Her parents were very wealthy in Ukraine – her dad a well know architect and her mom a well known interior designer.
They gave up everything, literally every single thing to immigrate to America.
Her dad, a European-renowned Architect couldn’t get a job in America. We wouldn’t recognize his degree, despite him being renown in Europe.
He then and now is a Gardner at the Denver Country Club. Where I met their son and my college colleague
Absolutely devastating. They had enough money to get out but all that got them was a minimum wage janitor position at a country club. For only 3 family members. I wish I had words.
As I am old , I think there’s a lot of the population in the West who weren’t alive during the Cold War. I still have a piece of the Berlin Wall. Czechoslovakia anyone? Is history even taught anymore? I do hope more on the right finally see Trump for what he is (he basically wants to give Putin a blowie and a pat on the back) and IDGI why that’s not a red flag for bordering on treason. We used to put people on trial for being commie sympathizers.
Putin is a psychopath/sociopath full stop. He’s gaslighting the Russian citizens. No shock there. And of course he won’t stop with Ukraine. He wants to go back in time and return to the former Soviet Union. Plus this is not his first act. Georgia? He’s been fucking with Ukraine forever. Why is Biden tiptoeing on this? Sanctions? Bitch please. He’s definitely old enough to remember. Why does any leader on the world stage even go through the motions of negotiations with this known lying, cheating bully? And, Europe, you in danger girl. Ultimately so are we as the allied forces will be needed if this is allowed to escalate much further, And China is watching.
Why can’t we all just BinLaden the mother fucker now before it’s too late? I feel like it’s inevitable it will drag out forever, massive loss of life unnecessarily. We all know who this psycho fucker is, it makes sense to just nip it in the bud for the greater good. I can’t even watch it on the tv anymore. It’s like how they covered desert storm and the first few years of Afghanistan nonstop. Although this morning I did see the Ukraine soldiers yelling back through a loud speaker “ Russian aggressors, go fuck yourselves”. Unfortunately he doesn’t use his words, like any other bully. They even got away with ruining the Olympics-why does everyone cowtow and pass the buck with the menace? I don’t think it’s coincidence that he is pulling this shit in a pandemic either. He’s as thin skinned as trump and he doesn’t GAF about sanctions. Is our collective intel so bad that we can’t pinpoint location to just off the fucker? I’m only just now hearing the words “war crimes “… ummm what about navalney and the other poisonings? The KGB has been over for years but this POS is still acting like it is still the same. And he has made it so he’s in charge for life. I read he’s already got Chernobyl and hit an orphanage. TF?! It’s scary, it’s sad, and it’s avoidable. Time to grow some balls and rid the planet of this psycho piece of shit.
I am pretty sure he’s prepared to go to war. The U.S. has never declared war on a country as large as Russia, so that would be a huge decision.
I agree with you, though. That sociopath is not backing down. The situation is not going to improve from financial sanctions. I’m just scared; my major in undergrad was history, and this feels eerily reminiscent of the beginnings of WWI and (especially) WWII. Half our country is batshit and revising very recent history to make Trump the hero vs the enabler, and they are attacking me on social media, calling me an idiot, for saying I’m worried.
I’m not feeling very confident in our country.
Do you think he wants countries other than the former Soviet countries?
I wasn’t alive during Cold War but make no mistake, I understand what (not Russia) Putin is doing. It’s not Russia. It’s Putin.
God, please don’t hit Poland or Turkey. That will start a war.
I am so conflicted. The father of my son is military and said we will nuke them if Putin continues to act like a sociopathic maniac. I don’t personally believe Biden will do that. I’d love to take out Putin, but you’re right…. It’s not Russia. It’s one man with an ego bigger than the size of the country he leads. The idea we can take the douchebag out like we did Bin Laden is not realistic. He is the leader of the 2nd or 3rd most powerful country in the world. He isn’t living in the desert with minimal security. He’s very aware the western world wants him dead.
Maybe Trump will invite him to Mara Largo. And if there is collateral damage, two birds one stone.
My new wet dream!
This is amazing. Yes!
This is actually the best idea that has been proposed. Wtf is there to even negotiate? It’s pretty clear the Russian army is not well trained, and they’re just basically hitting citizens. Putin is now throwing around the word nukes. I don’t understand how everyone just tolerates the psycho. Does anyone remember that cartoon called bizzarro? He has been a PITA for everyone forever. And I don’t understand how people in our own country can’t see that the division started with Trump and his lies. The two of them are bad actors and have ruined their own respective countries. Neither of them have ever played by the rules in any capacity. The ultimate white privileged. Neither is particularly very smart either. A twofer just might be able to restore the entire order so everyone else can get back to normal, including Ukraine. And if the “kids” happened to be at mar-a-lago then oopsies. (That particular family needs the 3 generation rule of n Korea lol.)
Sorry not sorry. It’s exhausting. They’re both clearly batshit and dangerous to humankind.
#TTsolvesWorldPeace
The thing about egomaniacal sociopaths is that they are never as smart as they think they are. I don’t think it’s unrealistic. He is committing war crimes already.
But thinking you are smart is half the battle. I have a kid with a Putinesque person, and you start to doubt yourself. Biden is not dumb. He’s old, but he isn’t dumb. We should have taken Putin out when we could; he’s now delusional enough to think he can take over all of Eastern Europe. It’s not going to happen. The entire western world is giving him the side eye, but I feel bad for the people in the Ukraine.
I am with you. If Putin is the problem, eliminate it. Surgically. We have the power. Anything but war.
I like the way you put that. Surgically.
Standing O
I was thinking the same thing earlier – spare the loss of life to innocent families and Bin Laden his ass.
Yes, an orphanage and a kindergarten. Reports say casualties, severely injured – some children. Ukraine citizens are being told to make Molotov cocktails to neutralize the enemy. This is growing exponentially worse FAST. Pray for Ukraine. 🙏
You do remember that Trump and his cronies decimated the State Department and that Trump spent 4 years kissing Putin’s arse. With a 30 trillion deficit, going to war with another country is not a wise idea. Not to mention all those idiots who voted for the tv reality clown said they didn’t want any more wars. While I hate Trump, I don’t believe it is the US’s duty to protect the world especially when we have so many issues here. Believe it or not Trump severely weakened our standing in the world and now we are seeing the consequences of that. Do you think Trump would have done anything to stop Putin? There would not be any sanctions or anything. I never thought I would see the day when Republicans would support Putin.
I’m not proposing that the US go to war. Ukraine is not a NATO country. That said, the psycho with short man complex might not stop with Ukraine. The dude is crazy and he’s already made threats. His track record sucks and he’s not a rational man. I use the term man loosely here. It’s well established that you can’t argue with crazy. I agree with @4paz that “surgical” removal is a better option. I just wouldn’t put it past him to escalate it to where NATO countries have no other options. NO ONE who has lived during the Cold War wants to go back to that. That old saying about people who don’t learn history being doomed to repeat it comes to mind. Nothing surprises me anymore. Ruling by fear is all he knows. And you’re preaching to the choir regarding trump-Another egomaniacal, lying liar who lies. Fatty needs to go away too and shut his stupid Big Mac hole.
This is just tragic all the way around. Prayers for all those in harms way.
One of the things that pisses off the mad man is Ukraine’s desire/application to join NATO. Putin hates NATO. It’s essentially all the countries willing to take on him or China etc if they mess with European countries. NATO troops will likely be on all of the Ukraine border countries who are NATO countries, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania soon.
Also not proposing going to war, but war does create money. It is one of the most baffling aspects of economics. We will spend a lot, but we will create more if we go to war. Our deficit is because we are not producing much currently. A war creates the demand to produce.
Um, a war kills people?
The cost of freedom is buried in the ground, mercy for all caught in the crossfire.
Thank you TD, I’ve missed your pithy observations! Twisted and truthful, so clever. But today your words ring too too true. Mercy indeed. We can’t turn away.
Woke up in a comfy bed. Plenty of toilet paper.
Hot coffee. Walked my dog. Picked up his junk. Changed my granddaughters diaper with a fresh one. Used clean wipes. Had clean water.
All I thought about was the people with babies and pets sitting in subways as makeshift bomb shelters. Guilt. Gratitude.
Blessed. And blessed to realize it. I hope it stays that way. We need to believe it will.
Agree Mary! Not sure how to help or what to do but at the same time I am worried about how this could effect me as a single old lady if things continue to explode! Positive thoughts that this doesn’t turn into WWIII and people remember how appeasement and turning a blind eye worked with Hilter. Humans — we are such idiots!
Looking at charities to see what I could do to help. Cannot give much, but. . .it made me feel like I was doing something – not watching helplessly.
Found this
Before you donate:
Ask what percentage of your donation will go to relief efforts
Find out if the charity has experience in emergency relief
Look up the charity and see how well they are rated
Make sure the organization has prior experience in the impacted area
If you don’t know where to donate, here’s a list of Better Business Bureau accredited charities currently working on Ukraine relief:
Catholic Relief Services: BBB Wise Giving Alliance Report; Ukraine Relief Activities
GlobalGiving: BBB Wise Giving Alliance Report; Ukraine Relief Activities
International Rescue Committee: BBB Wise Giving Alliance Report; Ukraine Relief Activities
Save the Children: BBB Wise Giving Alliance Report; Ukraine Relief Activities
You can never go wrong with World Central Kitchen, Chef Jose Andres foundation that shows up to feed the hungry. He already has people in place and has fed thousands of refugees in Poland already. I’m seriously considering leaving them everything in my will.
Bethenny Frankel’s B Strong charity seems to be the real deal. She’s been really killing it with that. She has already raised a million dollars and staff and supplies are on the way. They will be meeting refugees and helping them get trains to their next destination, providing food and cash and supplies for babies and whatever else they purchased.
I too keep thinking of the people sheltering in the subway and about all the logistics of food and bathrooms and people who have something going on medically. Whenever there is a war or a natural disaster, I think about how some people just got out of the hospital and were told to take it easy for a week and suddenly they are having to run.
My son’s girlfriend was from Ukraine and I keep wanting to reach out to her, but they split up to go to college. Not a bad break-up, but I don’t have her contact info. I just want to give her a huge hug and support her in some way.
And I keep thinking, what’s the end game? Putin has to get something out of this. He’s not going to just say never-mind and walk away.
Kara..
6 BABIES have been born in the subway shelters including twins.
I can’t wrap my head around it.
A friend is in our diplomacy department. He spent years facilitating peace in the Mid East. He speaks fluent Russian. He disappeared from social media a few weeks ago. I feared the worst. That he was needed over there. Still do.
I’ve been so worried about Maks. I wish he wasn’t there and back home with his family. Pray he’ll be safe
There are NICU babies in bomb shelters with the nurses and lacking all the things they need from the NICU. 🙁
😭😭😭
I saw a video of the nurses hand bagging oxygen for those babies! They need to be on vents. If they stop pumping the bags those babies will die! It breaks my heart as there is no way to sustain this.
Post updated to add an IG from Bethenny and her B Strong relief efforts.
Bethanney was my first thought, but Ukraine? But yep, she is doing it!! The chick has balls, no doubt about it, that’s where my $$ is going-
The Russian stock market is closed. Putin never expected such a united front against him. 12 European Countries sending troops. I just read that their military has met with much resistance, and that their morale is low. Thousands taking to the street in Russia. I am heartened.
I keep trying to not watch the news so I can sleep, but I can’t not watch the news because I want to be informed and know what is happening. I had to do a bunch of errands today which I kinda enjoy because I love listening to NPR in my car. Does anyone else listen to NPR while driving? I really enjoying their coverage today.
I was really enjoying their coverage today. It added some historical content that I had never learned before.
Yes! I grew up listening whenever my father was driving and I would roll my eyes. Now I seek it out as a creature comfort, like a homesick cure. Familiar voices, reassuring or discomfiting, in the background or as my main source of information. Or best of all, old episodes of Car Talk. Click and Clack. Or Fresh Air! I hope Terry Gross just stays around asking the smart questions and temporarily staving off my anxiety.
Yes! Terry Gross makes me happy. Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me is my absolute favorite. I would listen to it on the weekends while driving to see my sister or my mom.
I love NPR. I listen every morning and afternoon on the way to and from work!
I listen to NPR the most lately. My drives are very short and infrequent. I need to go to Home Depot today and buy a new mailbox and post but I just can’t do it. I used to alternate between NPR and the local “right wing” talk station. The one Rush Limbaugh used to be on. But in recent years that channel is just to crazy. I’ll take calming NPR every time.
Calming is right. Kinda dangerous to listen while driving because their slow, soothing voices are like xanax!
My kids used to call them the “monotone people”, as in Can we please change this channel? It was my go to radio for my days of driving for a living!
The “one who shall not be named” wants to see Ukraine bitch-slapped for not doing his bidding when it came to digging dirt on Biden. He is happy to let Putin do his dirty work.
Germany is to deliver 1000 tank defence weapons as well as 500 surface to air stinger missiles, from stocks held by the German army, government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit said. He said the weapons would be delivered to Ukraine as soon as possible.
The decision comes as a relief to many Germans who have watched with despair as the events in Ukraine have unfolded in recent days. Many have felt torn between the attempts by Germany to resist involvement in military conflict due to the extent to which the country is still haunted by its own Nazi era, and having to watch the lives of innocent people in a European democracy being ruined by an autocratic kleptocrat who has increasingly been compared to Adolf Hitler.
Thank heavens.
Russia-Ukraine latest news: Zelenskiy says Putin’s plan ‘derailed’; captured Russian soldiers ‘don’t know why they are here’.
The Russia/China/North Korea/Trump alliance is scaring the bejeezus out of me. I am rocking that Serenity Prayer…but I just don’t see this ending well. I have so much respect for the courageous Ukrainian soldiers on Snake Island who told the Russian Warship to F-Off and stood their ground.
I pray the Ukrainians can hold on until NATO troops can help. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
By the way, if you haven’t already you need to go fill up your gas tank. I went yesterday, Gas prices are about to take a major jump and lines will be long for the next couple days.
There is a Walmart in my town that has gas for $3.03 a gallon. I have been trying for the past four days to get gas there but the parking lot is so small and awkward. I waited in line for 30 minutes yesterday then I just gave up and left.
I was just doing a quick pop in with CNN between Killing Eve binging and they were at commercial and I was impatient and went to FOX. There was a show with a FOX Guy named Brian Kilmeade who was actually reporting as a journalist and NOT being a Putin supporter. He had good guests like a former Ambassador to Ukraine, and more. Going back to Killing Eve now.
I was flipping between channels and stopped on Fox more than once. They were actually reporting news and then heard a team calling Putin out for making up lies ahead of time to convince people he was justified (“they only way they will win is if they steal the election”) and were calling on facebook and social media to take down his lies (really?!?!?!). So interesting – it appeared they are on board when it is their guy doing it, but not okay for Putin.
No matter who you support and vote for — it is inspiring to see these people fight for their democracy and freedom. We can’t even get people to vote here. Makes me hopeful for the world.
My trumper friend says that she is reserving judgment on the situation. She says she hasn’t seen any proof that there are any attacks on Kyiv. She told this to a neighbor who followed her screamed at her until she went home. Sometimes she deserves some pushback for her opinions.
In order for some’s opinion to matter, they have to be in touch with reality. Does she not have a TV or access to the Internet?
Tried to reply but internet is down. Second attempt:
She probably just watches Fox News and maybe Oan. I know she’s going to a patriot fest in March to hear Marjorie Taylor Greene. BARF!
It doesn’t matter what they are connected to, or how, or where. Yes, I said “they.” I don’t know how else to put it. Everything is “fake news” except what the so-called sources that only report what they already believe, which can change on a dime depending on who’s talking. Why am I arguing the source and not that totally true information you got watching them for 5 minutes? or hours? Because OAN is not a source. It’s propaganda. And Fucker Tarlson isn’t “just asking questions.” Then, they try to turn everything you say around on you like some batshit parrot that thinks it’s smart. I’ve been living it for 5 years now. I won’t last much longer. It wasn’t like this before that. I know it wasn’t. It’s heartbreaking. I’ve been called the worst things for not wanting to discuss “topical” issues. Discuss? Like be told I don’t have anything intelligent to say because I don’t agree with your whack job opinions? He yelled out plausible deniability the other day. These machines they have are spooky. It’s all I’m rubber and you’re glue.
It’s gone so far. My brother dids 2 weeks ago. Last night I brought it up. I was asked wasnt’ I over this already? What else is there to say? But whatever you heard on talk radio never gets to be an old subject. Interesting. Note this is all a constant retaliation. Constant mind game. I think they learn these methods watching those shows. Am I paranoid? See? Maybe I am losing it by now.
Prayers for Ukraine.
Wow. That’s “died.” He died two weeks ago.
Sam, I am so sorry for your loss. I really hope that you find a way to leave your situation. No one should be silenced in their own home. I pray that you have stashed some money somewhere and are making a plan. This situation cannot continue for you.
Russia wants to talk. The burglar inside YOUR OWN home demands a Negotiation WHILE INSIDE YOUR HOME!
Thank you TT for allowing an outlet for this speech. For those of us personally impacted and those who are nonetheless impacted.
Thank you 🙏
This one I just had to share, from a FB pundit in the county where I live. Putin won’t nuke the south because we don’t have politically poor relations with “the east” like blue states do. Also, we’re protected as part of the Bible belt. My worries are over!!!
Can i get off this ride now?
Yes, you can get off the ride if you take me with you! You are not paranoid or crazy. We used to be a fairly civil society that could disagree and discuss. I am also in a bible belt state with an insane governor. I want to stop wasting my breath with what I think of as flat-earthers (no amount of truth, facts, evidence, science will sway them) but if we don’t call them on it they will continue to multiply. I am sorry about your loss. Life has been extra crazy and difficult enough lately without being dealt a blow like that. Hang in there and take as long as you need!
