Yep. It's official. Pence is so full of shit he's drawing flies.

Biggest shock of the evening "what a difference a week makes"

It's only been a week since the first presidential debate

 

[seventiesdemon]

I so loved the fly on the head. I didn't see the debate, I saw the fly. Little Marty McFly. Back to the future...."I hate manure" hahahaha

Or rather...Fly, attracted to manure.

For all those Evangelists out there surely that is a spiritual warning sign of pestilence and plague....

The push to turn Trump into a Marvel Comic character is really becoming ridiculous.

"Trump defeats COVID" coin goes on sale at unofficial White House gift shop

No, MAGA-land dwellers, Dear Leader did not "beat" Covid because he is a 74 year old, obese superhero, but is only better, let alone alive, because of an early intervention consisting of an army of medical professionals, 24/7 care, experimental drugs no one else on Earth is allowed to have as well as good old PR spin all funded by your hardworking (as you all like to point out) taxdollars. In short he is only still alive and kicking due to "government socialism"; a concept demonized and denied to the rest of you plebes including over 210,000 "virtually nobodies".

Though on the bright side, following the P.T. Barnum school of thought I guess anything separating MAGA heads from their (again, hardearned) dollars isn't all that bad. Its not like their using them to buy PPE anyway.

In what has been a wild and upsetting ride the past four years, Melania turning the White House into a sequence from Suspiria is perhaps one of the few things I take away from all of this as genuinely hilarious.

Today a man told me that his ex having an abortion is the same as what I went through when I lost my daughter at 6 months pregnant. He actually told me that his experience was "the same thing". HIS experience, from his perspective. He equated it to what happened to me.

Patting myself on the back for not sending him to the hospital for saying that stupid shit.

I mean really? As a man, it felt the same to you as when I spent the night knowing my dead baby was inside me while I vomited for HOURS as I waited to dilate enough to get her body removed from mine? What a fucking asshole.

He has every right to be upset by what he went through. He had NO right to tell me what he did.

I literally would punch him for you.

Love, comfort and protection to you.

Rage and ill will toward the idiot.

I had a rather interesting chat with a friend who has lost three people in his life to ALS, lost a brother in childhood and rather famously lost his aunt (we popularly know his cousin, her son).
We had a long talk about loss and forging on.
He said that no one grieves the same and we can’t really compare.
Yet I later in the conversation I said that losing a kiddo you knew as a separate, mobile being must be shattering in a way that my situation wasn’t. All of mine was based in hope, not shared time, shared experience.
This man said again, “we cannot use anyone’s loss as a measuring stick.”
I’d say I agree 90 percent.
But your Comparing Dude thinks his experience of loss as a non host equates to yours as the woman carrying?
No, just No.

On behalf of all those with a twig and berries that aren’t completely fucking ignorant piles of barely sentient lunchmeat, we are sorry. While I can see his situation as quite terrible based on his emotion tied to the incident, there just isn’t a single, solitary way to compare the 2. Apples and oranges. Just because they both involve the loss of life, doesn’t mean they are the same. Fuck this guy with a rusty claw hammer.

Love,
Reasonable Males

Thanks all.

I realize that there are in fact men who mourn the loss of their unborn in these situations when their partner gets an abortion when he wants the opposite. I feel for them, and I don't dismiss their pain.

I also don't compare it to mine, or equate it to things I can't relate to because I can't possibly experience the same thing.

The need to equate/one-up someone’s horrible life experience is what is most mind numbing. It doesn’t make anyone’s suck less if someone else’s pain might be worse than yours.

BOOM. That's exactly it.

It's not the trauma olympics, and really... It all happened because I simply asked to change the subject away from parenting because it still fucks with me. He knows this. But apparently I made *him* uncomfortable by asking. Doesn't matter that I was Already uncomfortable, because obviously I'm supposed to suck it up and deal. As if I'm not dealing with it every moment of every day, trying to keep it together as best I can. Just because I'm not constantly falling apart in tears doesn't mean the pain isn't very much there. It's ALWAYS there. I just thought maybe a "friend" (learning that I really don't have any of those) would understand and just talk about something else. I wish I was more surprised to be completely wrong.

Pisses me off so much.

You got friends here, lady. Sure, we like to see your bum too, but friends show each other butts, right? Or is that why no one answers my calls?

One of my very dear friends is a widower who lost his wife as she gave birth to a 30-week preemie. I don't know how he managed. But he told me all the weird shit he had to endure with people telling him "she's in a better place," etc.

He said the worst was a guy who said he knows exactly what he's going through. He said he was somewhat elated to have somebody with empathy near him. Then the guy said "yeah, she just walked out on me without a word."

He looked at the guy and said "Yeah, mine too." The other guy apparently realized he said something stupid and excused himself.

I have to say he was a stronger man than I could have been.

I feel like situation like that, and what @Tight_N_Juicy endured should enact some sort of “one free cock punch” pass, on the basis of high insensitivity and fucking dolt-ishness.

Our luck, they’d be into CBT.
