Someone called me a libtard under his breath, but loudly enough to make sure I heard…in a CANCER center, where many of us were having our immune systems weakened by chemo.

You can’t fix stupid so I don’t even try. I’ve been in remission for almost two years, I’m healthy and he’s out there sucking in viruses. We both have ticking clocks, but mine is ticking much more slowly than his is.

Army Of “Wouldn’t Recognize God If He Got In The Passenger Seat.”

That’s who they really are.

I can’t even imagine how that is your take-away from my comment. If your very conservative family vote 3rd party, they are voting 3rd party. Not for Biden or Trump.

My comment is attempting to point out that 3rd party votes are going to have a consequence.

The thinking is that 3rd party votes will lessen the amount of votes Biden gets, thus allowing Trump to win.

You aren’t actually adding a vote to Trump’s tally, you are subtracting one from Biden.

Most of the Independents I know skew towards the Republican side anyway, so I’m just a little inclined to think a 3rd party vote will actually subtract from Trump’s tally, but I’m just a little old blue lady down in Louisiana, so what do I know?

Your statement “that’s your fucking problem to deal with, liberal” tells me you wouldn’t vote for Biden even if he gave you another stimulus check. You sound like a staunch Republican to me, you just drew the line at Trump. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if you voted Trump once you’re in the ballot box.

Do your thing dude.

I actually agree with you much more than I disagree.

It’s part of a family trust, meant to be passed on. Think 150 year old home that hasn’t been renovated since the 60s.

It is near a university and has several bedrooms, so it’s generating enough income to help pay her rent. It is literally worth more as a rental than a sell. And one day my poor kids will have to deal with this millstone around their necks.

If my MIL did sell, it would probably be torn down and replaced with an apt complex/student housing.

Not insensitive at all. It isn’t worth a lot as far as selling goes, but it does generate good income as a rental.

I actually agree with you, but I’m the DIL, and my husband and MIL agreed on renting.

No, not at all. That’s what TWO kids’ lives are worth.

And where is it suggested boomers should live? My MIL has a paid-for home, but is now in assisted living. It costs 6K a month, which is eating through her savings at a shocking rate, even though we’re paying a portion of her AL rent.

If she had the ability to stay home, you better believe she would, because she can’t afford to part with her home.

I suspect you need to put the bottle down, sir.

No 3 year old is an anti-vaxxer, silly goose. They’re unvaccinated because their parents are anti-vaxxers.

Unvaccinated does not equal anti-vax. Are you able to grasp that?

If I counted correctly, there are 4 states that require paid leave. Another 6 where nothing is mentioned pertaining to paid/unpaid. And 22 states that don’t mandate any leave at all…might be 23 since Kansas is just left blank.

In other states, you may or may not get leave (unpaid) depending how many employees there are at your job.

We really do suck in the US.

Oh man, I wonder if he’s the guy who preaches at truck stops? He’s a trucker who travels around and everytime he stops his truck he grabs his Bible and starts pushing his view of Christianity on all the other drivers who are unfortunate enough to be there.

Weird dude.

It’s probably not reported when Christians do good Christian things, because those things are actually “good decent things”. You don’t have to be a Christian to volunteer, help people, etc.

I see plenty of reporting about volunteers, maybe because I live in a hurricane state. Very rarely does the report mention religion, because people of all faiths and people with no faith at all are out there saving people and pets.

Her lawyer, Traci Timko, said Watts sat for eight hours at Mercy Health-St. Joseph’s awaiting care on the eve of her pregnancy reaching 22 weeks, before leaving without being treated.

Timko said hospital officials were deliberating over the legalities.

I’ve got my grandbabies here so I don’t have the time to do a big search, but this article quotes her lawyer’s statement that at least one visit in which she left AMA, she waited EIGHT hours for help, which she did not receive. (See first quote) I’ve read another article which I can try to find after the holidays which explained that in her two visits prior to the miscarriage, she was never admitted. She went to the hospital, explained what was going on, received one examination but was NOT admitted. She left after failing to be admitted, which was considered AMA. I’m sure they’d have liked her to sit there another day or two while they continued to fail to admit her, while deliberating over legalities. (See second sentence in the quote)

That’s what it took to get to the fetus and remove it. And they’re blaming her for not doing it. There she was with a partially retained placenta, in danger of bleeding out, and she had the nerve to leave her toilet intact in order to obtain timely life saving health care.

And don’t forget, she’d been to the hospital multiple times and left because she wasn’t receiving care…all hospital caregivers and ‘legal teams’ were too busy trying to figure out if they could legally remove a dead fetus; they wouldn’t do what needed to be done. Just left her sitting there while they argued intent of the law versus letter of the law.

“She put the fetus into the toilet.” No, she didn’t. The fetus was expelled into the toilet, along with bodily waste. She tried to get everything out, but she couldn’t.

“She then went about her day.” No, she didn’t. She went to the hospital. She was bleeding (probably heavily) due to part of the placenta being left attached.

That’s just two of the twisted statements the prosecutor has made in order to make this woman look like a heartless SOB.

It’s gone too far, and short of removing Republicans from office and justices from the court, I don’t know what we can do. They are prosecuting this woman to punish her for miscarrying in an inconvenient place.

It’s worth mentioning that just 11 days earlier, had her miscarriage happened at the hospital, it would have been disposed of as medical waste…incinerated. 11 freaking days, and the state is criminalizing her.

When, America? When do we all work together to do something about this?

It’s supposed to be anti both, but I worded it a little ambiguously!

Have you read any holy books? They’re filled with god-ordained killings.
