And Trump has said much worse about Democrats and anyone who doesn’t support him. Why is it only Democrats who have to watch what they say but Republicans are free to be as nasty as they please and no one calls them on it.

Doctors cancelling your appointment the same day. I’ll get fined if I did this, but it’s perfectly okay when they do. They said she was sick, which I can sympathize with if true, but then they can’t even get me an appointment for this week, the next available appointment is for over a month from now, this is for a treatment for migraine that I’m supposed to get every twelve weeks, but I guess another six weeks doesn’t matter when it’s the doctor who cancels.

I never watched The Daily Show, but I’ve seen Stewart on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in recent years and he has the most horrible take on everything. To the point that I wonder how the hell Colbert remains friends with him. Maher is just an asshole.

This is such a ridiculous take for him and other Democrats who think like this. Presidents of both parties always pardon people. It would have made no sense for Joe to not pardon his son when he was only prosecuted in the first place because of who his dad is. Trump’s kids and son in law have committed worse crimes but no charges were ever brought against them.

I am so sick of thinking about this awful man 24/7. I was so hopeful before the election that it was almost over and he would go away, but no we can’t have nice things.

I do agree that there are a lot of times where having a phone out at the table would be rude, but in the particular circumstance that @Cloud9Shopper described, I don’t think these people were expecting her to have a conversation with them so I don’t really see a problem with her having her phone out unless she was specifically told in advance by the organizers not to do this.

I’ve never understood the argument that Bernie was robbed when he clearly didn’t have the votes. It would be like me arguing Hillary was robbed in 2008, I wasn’t that happy about it since I didn’t think he was very liberal but I voted for Obama. (Oh and despite my reluctance about Obama in 2008, I did phone bank for him in 2012. First and only time I will do that, speaking to people on the phone is not my thing). I agree with Bernie on almost everything and would have been okay with him as the candidate if it went that way but I voted for Hillary in the primary because I,’d wanted her to be president since 2000 and there used to be a website, I have no idea if it still exists, called Istandwith.com that would ask you where you stood on hundreds of issues and then told you what percentage you matched each candidate, and the difference between Hillary and Bernie for me according to this website was negligible so I voted for Hillary.

I don’t know if it makes me weird but I was very excited to vote for Hillary and would have loved for Bill to be First Gentleman. My vote wasn’t a reluctant vote. I voted for Hillary in the primary, as well as the 2008 primary. I also had the honor of voting for her in the 2000 New York Senate primary and general election and again in 2006.

Yeah I’m like your mom, I don’t like dark chocolate, though I will occasionally eat a Mounds bar which is dark chocolate. I never heard of Sea’s. I love Hershey’s milk chocolate.

I didn’t know this. Hershey’s is the only chocolate candy that I‘ll eat. I think the expensive European stuff tastes like garbage. 🤷‍♀️

Also wanted to point out that both “assassination attempts” were done by Trump supporters.

I was born in Manhattan and grew up in the suburbs and went to schools that were at least 50% non-white. I also lived in Manhattan since I graduated college in 1995 until I got priced out in 2023. I’m not trying to invalidate your experience, I jjust tthink you see a lot of things with rose colored glasses, which isn’t bad, I just don’t agree that it’s how it was.

The media fell in line post 9/11 and stopped being critical of Bush. This was not a good thing, criticism of that administration, and there was a lot to be critical of, wasn’t accepted in the mainstream media. Just look at the Dixie Chicks and how they got blackballed for speaking the truth about Bush. You talk about how wonderful everything was in NYC post 9/11 , but I lived there, you just visited, there was a lot of fear, things were not good.

I’m really happy your friend was okay, and I have nothing against any of the first responders, they are all heroes, I’m talking about Republican politicians, they created a really bad atmosphere in the US post 9/11, I lived in New York and there was no coming together in any real way.

I feel like there’s at least a chance 9/11 wouldn’t have happened, Gore at least wouldn’t have ignored the warning like Dubya did, Bush was told we were going to be attacked by airplane and he did nothing to beef up airport security, not to mention his administration ignoring the Clinton administration’s warnings about Bin Laden because he was more concerned about Sadam Hussan and getting revenge for his daddy.
