This is what I initially came to say and got lost along the way. Thank you.

I am surprised that the “thank ya fer ya service” crowd isn’t throwing a fit.

Thank you for your service mostly means, “look at me being a real good boy! Are you happy I’m a real good boy?! I thought about joining! Did you know that I thought about it? Mama said I have flat feet. Did I say thank you for your service?”

Well, this dude did fire a random shot into a crowd and hit a pregnant teenager. He got out of prison early and was picked up by ICE from there.

Dude has a serious brain injury and PTSD. He should have received the best treatment he could get. He should have received citizenship immediately upon earning his Purple Heart (or fighting for the US in the first place). He should have been afforded a path to a decent life.

He wasn’t. He committed a senseless crime, probably directly as a result of his brain injury and ptsd that he got defending a country he had lived in since he was a toddler.

Even considering his violent act, he spent over a decade in prison and “paid his debt to society”. Of course it isn’t about that. It isn’t about rehabilitation. It’s about punishment, and because he happened to be born a few years before his family brought him here, before he could ever even think about where he wanted to be, he gets to live the rest of his life in misery.

A recipient of a Purple Heart, a war hero. And oh boy, he’s gonna spend the rest of his life paying for that.

Breaks my heart and I wish I could help him in some way.

I hope your kids like it.

It has always seemed to me that my kids have gone out of their way to avoid liking anything I like. That’s fine, but I never could relate to them.

I adopted my son so it was different with him. We did everything together and he was happy to look into my interests sometimes. He and I played world of Warcraft together for a decade and I’d cut off a couple toes to go back and have that with him again.

Unfortunately, he gets his news from television. It was exclusively Fox, but he’s been moving around a little bit.

That one is your mom’s. She too voted her dick off.

My mom and uncle never, ever hear anything he does framed negatively.

They spin it all day, every day.

My uncle has at least been trying to vary where he gets his news, but Facebook makes sure to enrage him with something about condoms for Gaza or some equally stupid shit.

The pixels told me that.

It’s been going around awhile.

It’s very interesting that we aren’t seeing those.

I probably spent at least four hours watching footage of people caught by those cameras a few years ago.

My friend, you need a job doing this.

That’s what I need to do. I just gave up recently. I was so happy to be sitting here as a stay at home dad and making money.

I’m glad I mostly cashed out when dipshit Don was elected because I knew he was going to tank us.

So, my child (nearly 3 years old) is music crazy. As odd as this may be (maybe not), her four favorite things in this world are The Beatles, Nirvana, The Rolling Stones, and Michael Jackson.

It occurred to me that she doesn’t have any experience with religious iconography, but she loves the Heart Shaped Box video.

So I thought, for fun, let’s show her a picture of a cross and ask her what it is.

“NIRVANA! It’s Nirvana!” (Forvana actually).

I’ve been laughing my ass off.

I have raised multiple children from two generations now and none of them have had the burden of religion. Thank…god? :p

 

Everyone has been stopping to admire this. I figured I’d share it with you guys.

 

Look back through my posts to see her sleeping like this since she was a fresh baby.

 
 

Thank abowt it!
