I’d sit back. Way, way back.

But the shareholders are looking for someone ruthless. Being nice is much less profitable than being an asshole.

The U.S. is not a reliable ally anymore. Ukraine could be.

One drone video from January, posted by the Ukraine’s 59th brigade active around the embattled strategic city of Pokrovsk, shows a Russian soldier using a crutch under each arm to try and reach cover. He is moving slowly, despite likely being able to hear the Ukrainian drone above him and realising he is at risk.

The drone then drops a mortar round on him.

I can’t help but wonder if they used the Benny Hill music when they released the video. I’m an awful person.

Someone who refuses to accept reality shouldn’t be taking care of children anyway.

I think “go big or go home” is excellent advice.

I wouldn’t waste my time arguing with sovcits. I’d simply encourage them to be as stupid and irresponsible as possible.

In the morning, yes. I generally wake up quickly, (not necessarily early, but once I’m up, I’m up) and can be pretty social.

Late at night, though, I’d politely ask you to shut up. I’d get less polite the more I had to say it. Sorry.

Throwing in the word “apparent” is cowardly, but it’s also a lot cheaper than being sued for libel by a fucking billionaire.

Whatever. If you want to pretend not to get it, that’s on you, bud.

No, they didn’t, which is why that’s not what I said.

Here’s what OP said:

I am gay and while he has no issue with me or my partner he continues to align himself with people who do not believe in my right to exist.

The “benefit” is OPs mental health. That counts for quite a bit.

This isn’t merely a difference of opinion. OP is gay, and OPs father is knowingly supporting a group that hates gay people. No amount of kind words can ever overcome that.

… the world wouldn't become a better place if we all argued and then stopped talking to each other.

That’s entirely true. Unfortunately, MAGA supporters are far beyond more moderate Republicans. The father’s beliefs are so extreme that no compromise is possible.

If someone associates with a group that won’t accept my right to exist, I wouldn’t want them in my life either. I guess I’m a selfish bastard, too.
