If only 70+ million of us had warned her about exactly this, over and over again, maybe she wouldn't have voted for a fascist rapist who promised to do exactly what he's doing.

If only he had a record of violence, selfishness, cruelty, and incompetence to look at, maybe she wouldn't have voted for a fascist rapist who promised to do exactly what what he's doing.

Gosh, if only.

you know in hindsight it was very easy to see that Donald Trump was going to blow up the economy. it was also very easy to see that Donald Trump was going to blow up the economy with any foresight too if you weren't a raging moron dismissing that for stupid personal reasons.

Yeah Mr. Darcy’s proposal was a complete turd and a half but you gotta understand. You got your life together. A good career, stable income, retirement plan, all that shit together. And you meet this girl. And she’s everything. Clever, outspoken, funny, calls you on your bullshit. Grade A cutie, right? And she doesn’t go out of her way to spend time with you but she’s nice, and sometimes you catch her looking your way in a way that makes you think you might have a shot.

But her family. Holy shit.

First off, it’s p much ALL women, and mostly UNMARRIED women, which at this time means of something happens to her dad then you’re financially responsible for like. Four grown ass adults, potentially forever

Because mom in law is DEFINITELY gonna need someone to take care of her when dad in law kicks it, and they have like. NO money. So already you’re accepting that if all goes well, you’re gonna be one random old bag’s retirement home. That’s expensive and exhausting, yeah? Imagine asking someone on a first date knowing that if they say yes and things go good her high-strung chihuahua mother is gonna move in with you. IMAGINE.

And girly’s other sisters. Well, one is a sweetheart, yeah, so she probably won’t be an issue, but that still leaves three more, and two of those ones are INSUFFERABLE. Never went to school, dumb as rocks, spend cash like it’s toilet paper

And while one of the two is young still and might grow out of it the OTHER one is actively torpedo’ing her entire family’s reputation by wandering off with random dudes and chasing ass. She’s never gonna work, she can’t build connections, she’s a fucking sinkhole, and she’s being led on by the same goddamn con man ass leeching tit who’s been bleeding you dry while telling anyone who’ll listen that your family is full of ratty thieving bastards.

And if he dumps her after a week- WHICH YOU KNOW HIS BITCH ASS IS GONNA- you’ve got a SECOND UNMARRIABLE GROWN ASS ADULT TO PROVIDE FOR. And you KNOW she’s gonna be a tantrum-throwing little shit about it, and it’s not like you can lock her in the basement or something, you’re gonna have to bring her fucking. Everywhere. And give her an allowance and shit while she contributes zero, because again, she NEVER GOT EDUCATED AND HAS NO MARKETABLE SKILLS. She’s not even good to TALK to. FUCK

And you’re looking at this girl’s father like “please for the love of fuck get your spawn under control, marry them off, get them working on their résumé, learning to sew or be nursemaids or manage staff or SOMETHING, yall got no money and one foot in the grave” and that old man just laughs like “haha yeah, what can you do. lol”

So you’re looking to the mom and finally it’s making sense how she got that twitch in her eye and as MUCH as she is you’re starting to realize she’s the SMART one, desperately throwing her armloads of girls at random men like they’re a bunch of fucking lifeboats bobbing around a sinking ship, like yes Jesus Christ sweetly that life boat IS old and ugly and kind of boring but for FUCKS SAKE PICK ONE

And you look back at this girl who is ALSO REFUSING THE LIFE BOATS BY THE WAY and god damn it she’s still the most radiant thing you’ve ever seen so fine, fuck it, Christ alive, you’ll do it. You’ll shoot your shot. She’s everything you’ve ever wanted in anybody abut it’s not even just about that anymore, it’s about being her best fucking shot at a future, and even if she doesn’t like you all that much she’s still gonna say yes and that might break your heart a bit knowing it’s about the money but who knows, maybe it will at least be civil, or companionable, and even if she doesn’t LOVE you at least you’ll know she’s well and cared for

And so you’ll do it. You’ll take on the neurotic stress mess mother in law, the absent father, the broke ass wingnut no brain no money no future airhead sisters, the bad mannered relatives and the embarrassing behaviour and the impending future of sharing your entire shit with a clown parade of freeloaders, you’ll risk it all and accept the absolute certainty of financial ruin and emotional exhaustion for the rest of your whole ass life and you’ll make your own family deal with it too, you’ll do it, you’ll fucking DO IT, you stupid lovesick motherfucker

And so you go to this chick like “look. Your whole family’s a shitshow. You’ve got fucking nothing and you’re gonna die on the street. But for some reason- and I don’t get it either- I’ve fallen in love with you, and I wish I didn’t, but I did, so I’m telling you that whether you like me or not, I’ll give you everything. I’ll give you everything even if it’s the dumbest shit I ever done. Fuck my stupid Baka ass, I’ll marry you.”

And she looks at you- having heard or considered absolutely none of your months-long internal debate and monologue- and goes “The fuck did you just say about my family, you son of a bitch?”

And the shock of that is enough to jolt you back into a reality where you are able to actually hear and process what just came out of your damn mouth And yeah

Yeah, I think I kinda get it

"The children have just begun to live. We feel sorry for our country, they (russins) are killing us and no one is doing anything."

Locals have been bringing flowers and toys to the site in Kryvyi Rih since morning where children were killed in a russian attack on April 4. Nine children were killed in a russian Iskander missile strike. Six remain in hospitals, most of them in serious condition.

APRIL 6 - DAY OF MOURNING

trump be like i called you a constitutional democracy and showed you my dick please sign the minerals deal

i've more or less gotten used to russians calling me a vermin and a disease that my home has to be purged of but the casual dehumanization that doesn't even factor my existence in still gets my blood pressure up sometimes. from trump treating putin's drivel about the un taking over ukraine as a real "proposal" (as if y'all even have the means to enforce that) to them both acting like their problem is just zelensky and if they could get him out of the picture ukraine would fold instantly. like not even deigning to consider me their enemy. so that's fun

kryvyi rih, ukraine, 2010

Just woke up at 5 am on Sunday from an extremely loud fucking explosion, and a few after that

russia must burn

And two more explosions, loud as fuck

Look, russians are such a peaceful nation, aren’t they?

Do I blame every russian for the fact that I only got 2 hours of sleep this past night, and now I'm tracking the movements of their cruise missiles flying across the country?

Yes. Yes, i do.

it’s been said before, but the level of perfection expected of Ukraine in order to deserve support is insane. Ukraine is expected not to have any societal flaws, even flaws that exist in western countries that have not experienced even half of the shit Ukrainians have. The amount of times I’ve seen people say aid to Ukraine should be cut off because there’s refugees abroad because if not literally every Ukrainian is fighting then genocide is deserved somehow, as though there’s ever been a war where people didn’t often choose to flee. Meanwhile ruzzia is effectively committing multiple genocides at once, has been committing human rights abuses and war crimes like its a checklist, and if you so much as say “I’m not really interested in dostoyevsky” you get called a russophobe

I'm not totally sure how historians will explain that America ruined its own economy for no good reason by electing the "let me ruin the economy" man

I hope to live long enough to find out.
