The trains did not in fact run on time.

This would just setup Vance for eternal president though. He doesn’t walk away from that.

I believe you

I don’t think you understand the command structure of the US Armed forces.

You’re absolutely correct.

Rank and file grunts may be gargling nazi balls, but the officer pool are often college educated and will not hand over America to a dictatorship. It’ll take a decade just to fire all the officers who won’t follow his illegal orders. Another decade to reform into a stazi.

The secret police will be local police forces organized under a Fed Dept probably Homeland or ICE.

How is Trump the cure for any of that?

This was my experience in Paris, but not in Nice, even away from the tourist traps like Vizille I was very much encouraged to speak my broken French so I could learn. If they spoke English they’d apoligize for a dropped participle and then pull out a word like pugillistic.

Parisians hate everyone, including the French.

He did however trip on the bar on his way out though

There’s CHOCOLATE in my peanut butter!!!

We can start with the first Nakba

Of course there’s nuance. I was just sharing what I’ve had to learn is all. I hope your relationship with your mom is good or better than it was in the past. If that’s what you want or if that works for y’all.

I just started vaping more AND smoking because I could vape in my dorm during winter…

I cannot believe that’s even a thing. It’s bad enough they take my tax dollars and don’t feed the kids with it, but an online charge on top?! Bullshit

Hurt people hurt people. Past trauma informs how we interact sure, but it doesn’t excuse perpetuating that cycle upon others. A lover isn’t required to be a therapist or a parent.

You’ll find a way through all of this. If you can afford it, a therapist may help.

I went no contact with my narcissist mom. I have ADHD. The final straw was when my grandma (her mom) was dying of bone cancer, and my mom had just got her second divorce. Instead of staying with her mom and being palliative care, and saving money for both of them. She moved to a very expensive apartment near me. When I already had a move planned. I told her I was moving and that she should stay at my grandma’s and help her out. For 4 months she begged me not to move to my dream job and stay with her because she was so lonely in her new town. Like what the fuck. You just left your mother, in her dying months. Where your sister and your brothers and their family live in this massive support network. To a city where your child has told you they’re leaving? What the fuck?

I sold everything I owned, moved in with my gramma, called the job and asked if they’d hold the position for a few months while I get care setup with my aunts and uncles. Mimi died 5 weeks later. My mother didn’t show up to the funeral. I never talked to her again.

I think about my mom every few days. But I’ll never speak to her again. People have no meaning to her.

Going no contact was the best decision I ever made.

I have no idea what will work for you. But I’ve grown and become a better person without having to expend so much energy on my mom. You might find the same benefit in your situation.

You have value, you matter. You must have qualities another partner would be interested in. Or else your ex never would have tried to be with you in the first place. Beware though as soon as you’re showing competence without her she’ll lovebomb the shit out of you.

Good luck.

I think the Space Force are looking for their own funding…
