    kanye west struggles with his mental health, to put it mildly. as much as he has manipulated the media in the past, i think he also gets taken advantage of a lot.

    While mental illness explains some of his behavior, it's hard to have much sympathy for another idiot billionaire who dabbles in being a right-wing provocateur.

    My mom is just a sweet person who's afraid to not agree with everyone and she's honestly confused. She doesn't know how to choose a side and stand up for herself. So, if her right wing brother's or my sister's family goes on to her about right wing views, she agrees to be nice. She's in complete disbelief about the abortion thing and might even blame Biden or the democrats because they are in office/have the majority when it happened. She does not have any cable channels, so no Fox news. She reads the Richmond Times Dispatch, not sure if that paper leans one way or the other. I will say most of our relatives are more right wing and she hears a lot of their views. She simply doesn't believe anyone could want to go backwards or make anything bad. She grew up beyond poor, her dad passed away when she was 10 and back then women did not have jobs so her family lived on welfare. She had to pay for me and my sister to go to college, so she doesn't understand student loan reimbursement no matter how many times I try to tell her it's gone up a bizzalion dollars since the '08 crash. But mostly she does want what's best for eveyone, especially when it comes to her being able to live out her retirement without coming to her broke kids for money, because none of us have money. Which should tell her something. My dad was able to support us all and pay for college and now we are all a little less better off now that we are adults. Hmmmm....

    Sueing CNN is a good issue for him to fund raise on too.

    He'll go with "I bought a ticket with those numbers. I have it somewhere. You can't prove I don't have it. Give me the lottery money!"

    Interesting that the last straw was that he paid for a woman's abortion and sent her a "get well soon" card. Guess it's too much to hope for that the kid will stop pinkwashing fascism.
    Wait, what?

    That’s an understandable violation to get tripped up on. Please do go getting banned. I enjoy your posts way too much!

    Does the option actually get removed during suspension or is it a don’t do it sort of thing?

    Biden stopped by my neck of the woods today. Promised a ton of help. I dont believe anything substantial will get done. At least he didnt chuck paper towels at us. He was actually normal and decent.

    A billionnaire doesn't need energy for that, they just need a few more lawyers on the payroll.

    One thing I've been meaning to tell you guys that my state's gubernatorial race has turned into a potential nightmare. So, I'm planning to vote for Tina Kotek. She is fighting to retain Oregon's status as one of the states with the most support for those who need to get abortions. She has two opponents: the Republican Christine Drazan and the conservative Democrat-turned-independent Betsy Johnson. Both of them are endorsed by the gun radicals. It appears that Johnson has taken some Democratic and independent votes away from Kotek, and this throws the election in Drazan's favor. While I have no doubt that Democrats will win the senatorial and representative elections and Democrats will probably retain both state houses, a Republican governor would throw things into disarray. I think that many Oregonians don't like our current governor, Kate Brown, due to the past lockdowns and the homeless issue. I like her just fine. I didn't get to vote for her because I moved here in January 2019. So, anyhow, as I've said, it's mostly a liberal state due to the big cities running the place. So, if we have a Republican governor who makes people upset, we're in for do-nothing and gridlock for the next four years. It's similar to how Theodore Roosevelt and Taft divided the Republicans and paved the way for Wilson. Apparently, that's what's happening right now, and I'm not looking forward to it.
