I love you for keeping it positive during a terrifying week.

I used to HATE Trump! I now see while he is NOT perfect, he is NOT what they portray him to be! The news, etc... LIES SO MUCH it has lost ALL credibility! PLEASE calm down! Good Lord! I would have been pissed if Kamala won because it could ACTUALLY mean the end of freedom of speech, etc... Basically, EVERYTHING they accuse him of THEY have done or are doing! I hope you see that one day! Do you EVER wonder why they NEVER go after pharmaceutical companies? If they do it is barely at all! There are A LOT of reasons for that!

[@stoodmuffinpersonal3144]

Im not shocked. It did surprise me, a bit, but what I feel is rage and disappointment. It feels like debt. No matter how much you want to, or try, you cant get from out under it. Its like a toilet you cant flush. Its like the hotel California. "Check out any time you like, but you can never leave."

[@LSDdreams808]

How dare you say that!!!!!! Jfk Jr is a loser

[@Fire_Marshall_Bill]

​@@LSDdreams808you clearly know so little about him you couldn't even get the initials correct. Look up Bobby. Seeing as you have a psychedelic username you two immediately have common interests. Anybody that advocates psychedelics for PTSD therapy is 1000 times the upgrade. Anybody that wants harmful chemicals removed from our food and water is also 1000 times the upgrade. Steven is talking shit for corporate control reasons even he doesn't understand.

Its his america, as Hasan put it. "Even if lost, it's still Trump's America." I just wish it would stop being his America.

The idiot that swallowed America comment reminded me of a song in early 1960s: The Eggplant That Ate Chicago. Really stupid song but so stupid it may make you laugh. And most of us need a good laugh right now

[@ievk8058]

@@ceceliaroman861 The media putting in Obama is what eventually led to the ‘Trump response’… So basically the commercializations/idealization of democracy led to a more ‘extreme’ rebuke… Not Trump’s fault; just his credit for recognizing the problem and rising to the occasion.

The day after the election my employer told us we have to sign up for a new healthcare plan they decided to force on us in the next 2 weeks. Single employee with no family (health and vision insurance/no dental) is going from $30 a month to $300 a month for health insurance only, no dental or vision. Yep Trump becoming president is going to help us regular people save money. What a joke.

[@therealJamieJoy]

Get your own insurance for that price and don't stay tied to that company.

[@seandobbins2231]

​@@therealJamieJoyah yes, because private health insurance is always cheaper and more reliable, right? If it really was that simple, we wouldn't have such problems with access to healthcare.

[@itsmetalliceh1966]

yeah because the Undemocrats are still in power and that has nothing to do with Trump lol Surely Lamala can do something about I mean they are still in charge. Yeah I doubt they could give a shit about you.

[@elizabethlange3067]

​@@therealJamieJoyWhere are you finding private insurance that includes dental and vision, is not contributed to by your employer, and does not have income restrictions tied to the rate, for less than $300/month?

[@laryn9953]

@@therealJamieJoy I am definitely not getting insurance through the company. As far as staying tied to them I have been at this job for 18 years so not leaving, yet at least. Just pisses me off that they made this change as soon as they knew they could basically do as they please.
