    Rich dude tells on himself by assuming you have to be poor to give a shit about poor people.

    The poor constantly are talking about the inequality, but aren’t in a position of power to do much about it. If he had a thought in his head he’d understand she’s talking about it because it’s her job to represent those people in need as their voices.

      I think he likes to look like a thumb.

      I was thinking he would look better in a ball gag, he would certainly sound better.

          But he cannot spread his hate and misinformation when gagged.

            Sadly, he now has a whole team of people happy to do it on his behalf. All of his “comedian” friends.

    Oprah is a pretty horrible person. She gave us everything from Dr Oz to “Dr” Phil and Jenny McCarthy’s anti-vax bullshit. Oprah has along history with pseudo- and junk science. She profits off the little people who believe all the garbage and feels she sells.

    Michelle Obama arguably gave up a professional and respected career position to become some outdated version of a ‘50s housewife of the president. Sure, there are plenty of benefits that come out of being First Lady, but nonetheless she did a stint as a public servant and pushed to get kids fed, healthy, and for people to have access to mental health care.

    I think I like this community more than [email protected], which I had unsubscribed from a while back. I should make this my new home for a while.

      I blocked it. There was a guy who basically told me that he didn’t give a shit if Trump marched my queer kid into a camp because (this was when he was still running) voting for “Genocide Joe” would be worse.

        I don’t know if you actually have a queer child, but stories I’ve read from you, you seem to genuinely think your kids are pretty cool and actually love them. I can only imagine how much it hurt reading that and I’m sorry someone would say/believe something so awful.

          Thank you. She is queer, yes. She calls herself omnisexual but I have never seen her interested in anyone but other girls. I’m not going to define her though. It didn’t hurt so much as piss me off. The nerve of someone to think that people should sacrifice their own children like that.

          (Also, I just have the one kid, but I don’t expect you to know my biography. 🙂)

            Omnisexual? Is that different than pansexual?

              I don’t know, I’m not 14. It’s just what she says. She’s never even had a “first kiss” yet, although she’s desperate for it. As far as I can tell, she’s just into girls. If I could set her up with another girl, I would.

              It’s the second evolution of pansexual, no longer restricted to dishware

    Remember, when poor people talk about income inequality, they’ll say “You’re just jealous, maybe you should skip the avocado toast and work more hours?”

    It’s all just excuses to avoid thinking about the problem.
