Watching from Australia. I think it’s a case of once bitten twice shy with the likes of Fetterman, Sinema etc pulling the wool over your eyes. People are understandably suspicious through no fault of their own imo.
I’m really hopeful she can heal from all of this. This story both breaks and warms my heart from both the tragedy of the situation and the humanity of it.
That woman is so brave for what she did. I’m glad she feels she’s starting to heal.
I was groped at a beach at 16. I didn't tell anyone for a decade and a half
I'm demonstrating weekly against Trump in Machias Maine on Saturdays noon to 1. every person ive talked to support's Plantner over Mills. OUT WITH THE OLD IN 2026
I'm not suspicious about the tattoo, even though that's a disqualifying gaffe, I'm more suspicious about his military past and how he spoke about it as recent as a few years ago. The guy went to Kabul as a Blackwater contractor at 2018, and has spoken about his military past in a disgusting way much more recent than that online.
What I am hearing from this woman is that when she talks about it and confronts the pain in all of it that she gets closer to healing.
Why hasn't Majority Report done research on/talked to any of the other candidates in the primary? Why all in on Platner?
Sam, I've got 4 small tattoos. Your perception of the experience isn't entirely wrong. For the first minute, it's hot, angry bees. Then the endorphins kick in and without an imminent danger to face, you get to experience a weird relaxation. But yes. That first minute is exactly what you're thinking.
I cannot help but be suspicious of someone who volunteered to be a guard at Abu Ghraib. You can’t convince me that someone who signed up to kill people multiple times and went back to work for black water.
