Why are you so fixated on this particular user's gender identity? Why does it matter to you what sex they are? And, why do you post as if the user being a woman is somehow a negative thing? You're really being a jerk about it. I truly don't understand why it's so important for you to point it out almost every other post too. It's petty, juvenile, and show's a true lack of character on your part. It's something Trump would do to a person who gets under his skin or rebukes him in some way.
Mueller report said no collusion by Trump with Russia.Amazing a commission filled with Trump haters could not bring that lie home.After that failed they just moved to the next big thing that that failed while Biden and his family have verifiable ties to China but crickets
Yes I have a stepdaughter. Been part of her life since she was 5. She’s 24 now. Hasn’t been a smooth ride. Wish I knew years ago what I do now. Her mother and I aren’t together anymore, and if you’re in a bad marriage, the kids suffer. Hard to be a good parent and be in a bad marriage.
You live and learn.
I hate to hear that. Thankfully I haven't had to deal the bad marriage part and I pray I never do.
I found this a little while ago.
Unfortunately, over the last few years, I’ve lived a life I never thought I would, and had to deal with things that would blow peoples minds.
Not asking for sympathy at all. The longer you stay in something bad, the longer it takes to heal. That’s on me. I made the choices.

Thanks for sharing. I hope you understand the point I was trying to make. I can't tell you about your experiences just like you can't tell me about mine.
I can relate about the kids and school thing though. I get the impression yours is older than ours but he misses school, his friends, all that.
That last line you said is real and applies to a lot of things. The longer something is bad, the longer it takes to heal. The longer something is messed up, the longer it takes to fix.
Completely different things, but I've seen workplace culture get messed up and stay that way for a few months only to take twice as long to root out the problems and eliminate the after effects.
Well said that Is the difference in a liberal as opposed to a conservative .You are not blaming society for your problems.Know that you will overcome all your problems
True. We don’t know what anyone is going through, or has gone through. I am raising a daughter that has been dealt an unfair hand. No child deserves to see their parents act like idiots. But, there’s nothing I can do about what has happened.
Life ain’t easy, and sometimes it flat sucks. But, it’s my job to teach her to keep her head up, and overcome the crap she’s gone through.
I won’t raise her to act like a victim. The country is full of people that think they are.
Mueller said there was no "collusion" because that is not a legal term. He did uncover criminal behavior and clearly said that if his team had been able to exonerate the President they would have -- in other words, the found his behavior to come within several criminal statutes. As for the limited success of the Congressional hearings, Trump instructed almost all the witnesses not to appear before the committee, basically obstructing a hearing into how he obstructed the election. The fact that many Trump supporters refuse to recognize how bad Trump's behavior was during the 2016 election campaign and how potentially dangerous to our safety as a nation it was has been remarkable and a source of frustration. Bottom line, you are just plain wrong.
Many of Trump's supporters voted for him because they thought they were being denied various things, jobs, job promotion etc which, they felt, were being handed to people of color. In fact, while liberals constantly have to put up with labels like snow flake and libtard, quite a bit of crying has come from your side of the aisle. This sense of entitlement and outrage coming from the right was part of what propelled Trump into the White House. Human beings are flawed and those flaws exist whether you are conservative or liberal. Just like not all conservatives nurture this sense of entitlement, not all liberals do either. Painting anyone with such a broad stroke is both inaccurate and an oversimplification of a serious issue that merits serious thought.
Generally, conservatives are good people. They work for a living, provide for their families, and mind their own business. It’s also why you don’t find them protesting, rioting, burning stuff down...through it all, they’ve been told their racist because they are white. It doesn’t matter if they vote, or support the few black conservatives out there. They are still branded it if their private lives say otherwise. Because they’re white and republicans, that’s why.
Liberals are a more angry type of person. They’ve been institutionalized. Many are in education, or government work.
How, or why does it all work this way? The Leftist (establishment) are so crooked, and filled with hate. You start to win elections by doing two very important things, You plant them in the MEDIA and EDUCATION. Two of the biggest platforms, where they get the most attention, and can INDOCTRINATE.
They don’t want a level, and fair opportunity for all. They really care about no one but making people see things their way. Minorities and Women are the best examples. Shout that you care for them, that they’ve been done wrong, that the white man owes them. You don’t see happy liberal women, and things aren’t better for minorities, and they’ve been voting democrat for decades. Find a problem, and find who to blame for those problems. Don’t offer real solutions. Try to keep their eyes closed. That’s how you win elections.
In a nutshell, what the left does best:

Dear God. You really buy right into whatever Fox News, Tucker Carlson and Trump say don't you? You don't even make an attempt to think about this stuff critically. It boggles the mind, truly it does that someone who clearly is fairly sharp can just shut off that part of their brain when it suits them.
Mueller probe was was staffed by Democrats who hated Trump the chief lawyer whose name escapes me has sanctioned many times for withholding exculpatory evidence.The basis for this probe was the Steele Dossier which was paid for by Hillary . Yesterday McCabe admitted in his testimony that the FBI sting operation was not based on fact but he did not know who made the mistake.With all of this they could find no evidence of Trump being involvedMueller said there was no "collusion" because that is not a legal term. He did uncover criminal behavior and clearly said that if his team had been able to exonerate the President they would have -- in other words, the found his behavior to come within several criminal statutes.

You really seem to have a lot of issues around women and minorities. Based off other posts (not just this one) it seems you don't think very highly of education.
Not Mac but the problem with education today is that it’s goal today is to indoctrinate young people to believe in a far left sociaslist view of the world.
Not true at all. Education is fine. Get as much as you can. But, the main thing is maximize your talent. I’m no better than the next person. It’s the mentality of many that are educated. Like Dude. There’s an arrogance that comes off people like him that they’re better than those that aren’t as educated. He’s told us many times he has multiple degrees from Duke. No one can ever accuse him of being humble. Shatter is just clueless. He’s young and dumb.
You mean well, but your views are still too rigid. Accusing me of not liking minorities and women is a perfect example.
Women and minorities have just been lied to. By the left. For the SOLE PURPOSE OF VOTES. Me saying that isn’t a sign of racism.
You do realize that Mueller is a Republican right? Also, can you provide a link to what you claim McCabe said? Thanks.
Not surprising you can simply turn the tv on and see his testimony out of his own mouth
I keep hearing this sociaist/marxists indoctrination stuff, but I just don't see anything substantial other than the circular logic of someone with a higher education tends to be more likely to vote Democrat. Something to note, though, is that I reviewed a few presidential elections and Democratic candidates didn't start running away with counties based around universities until 2016. That's a reflection of Trump not conservative politics.
The five most popular majors in America(according to Georgetown University study) are business management, general business, accounting, nursing and psychology. That is in order. It sounds like capitalism is still winning the good fight.
At primary and secondary levels, there have been huge pushes to promote STEM (science, tech, engineering and math) programs. That doesn't mean toward socialist/marxist indoctrination.
The majors you mentioned are mostly fact based studies that don’t cater to opinions but facts.As a father of two kids who majored in education I can assure their professors were totally left wing.
You keep calling me rigid, yet you have entire diatribes about how most everyone who votes with you are good people and most everyone on the other side are angry victims who thinks the world owes them something. You used the word projection earlier, but I don't think you understand you're doing that when you say some of the things you.
I didn't say it seems like you a problem with women and minorities because I'm rigid. I said it because, in this thread alone, you've dropped "tramp," "ho," and "hag," to refer to women you don't like. The fact that they were all women of color is also hard to ignore and not use to form an opinion.
I said it because you paint minorities with this huge brush that gives the implication you see all minorities as feeble-minded and easily manipulated. The only ones you seem to think highly of are ones who, are not just Republicans but those like Candace Owens and Larry Elder who have made a damn good living making white people feel better about their own racial hangups.
Honest question, have you ever actually had a Black man tells you what you owe him because you're white? You said that's what Blacks do earlier, I just wanted to know how that conversation went down.
So if school is all about socialist indoctrination why are top 5 majors on the complete other end of the spectrum?
Capitalism is the only thing that can truly work. Nothing is perfect, but people come to our country for the opportunities that it brings. We have so much free will. I like America, just don't like our government. Liberalism is a one way trip over the cliff. The same folks on here screaming about this and that, are benefiting our system. What happens a lot of times is these young kids, similar to Shatter but not as extreme, pound the "justice for all, and level the playing field, clean air, (while they drink water from a plastic bottle) free healthcare for all, gavel until they get out in the real world and get their first paycheck and realize how much they get taxed.
I love the meme where the girl is standing there complaining about her rent going up, that she voted to raise taxes only on property owners. That mentality sums up a lot of our society. Or the old story of the college kid that comes home on break. He tells his dad that more needs to be done, and the field needs to be leveled. His dad knows he makes good grades, and asks him how many kids are in his class. He then says why don't your grades get averaged out to help everyone in the class? His son says he worked hard for his grade, and it isn't fair to give part of his grade to the ones that didn't work as hard. Welcome to the republican party son.
You'll also find, as a general rule, conservatives are more generous with their money. If less taxed, most will help more of the less fortunate. The issue is we don't trust the government. They've had their hands in our pockets for years. We can better use our money than they've proven.

The education establishment being overwhelmingly left is just too easy to prove - one example below of many. Its not a disputed fact by either side. I have 2 in college and some of the examples they have in their elective classes are eye opening and disappointing.
Below is a collection, albeit by a right leaning site, but they report on actions on campuses that are insane. Just scroll through and its easy to see which way the wind blows.
Its been this way since the 60'S for sure.
To take further Mac think it was Churchill who said that Democracy is is a horrible way to govern until you compare it to all other forms of government
You just did exactly what you accuse me of. You don't like Owens, Elder, or any black conservative because they don't line up with your views. Read what you said about Owens and Elder, and tell me that's not racism.
The difference between you and me? I admit it without shame that I don't like liberal women, hell I don't like liberal men either. Why? Because I think liberalism is dangerous. I won't apologize either for my views. Color isn't the issue, how one views things is.
This may be the richest post here. I'll guarantee you my thinking benefits more out here in the world than yours ever will. You keep playing the victim card, equal rights for all spill. You're nothing more than a delusional, far left nut job.
Have a good day @SDevada
No disagreement that college campuses lean left. I just think it is a big jump to say that colleges are all about socialist and marxist indoctrination because they offer courses that provide exposure to and education about different cultures, societies and practices.
