Getting hep c and being discharged with 1 week of boot camp left seemed like a curse when I was 21...but now that I have seen all the bullshit Trump is doing...at 33 I can say thank God for hep c.

    Well, in your case is the "state fair carnival ride that was on the evening news"-kind of swinging and roundingabout.

    You know, the kind of a ride that you know at least three people that broke their elbows and somehow makes your cousin twitch every time he hears a pneumatic brake.

    That made me chuckle, thanks friend.. I was having a mood swing, and ya put a smile on my face.

    It was definitely a funny way for the universe to save my ass. Took the wind outta my sails though. I wanted to serve since I was a wee lad. But I'm a different man now.

    I actually got the first cure. The shoots and pills Made me sick as a dog, but from what they told me, I was good. Honestly would like to get rechecked just to be sure.

    Which I got through a program.

    I have known a lot of people with hep c, all the older junkies from generations prior to mine had it it seemed, I used to have junkie roommates which ended very predictably, with them stealing my shit and selling it for pennies on the dollar. But some of their junkie acquaintances were ok, they were like in their 50's and still doing fine, they just couldn't drink much if at all and idk what else. Opiates for all of their faults don't harm any organ systems.

    Yep. The thing for me is I was straight edge till I was discharged. I had wanted to serve since I was like 6 yrs old, and I kept myself out of trouble. I never knew how I got it. I will say, my mother got tested after I had called her from Paris Island and told her. She had it. My dad, however, refused to get tested.

    Hey it could be a DUI hire like others too...I don't know much about her if that could be accurate but if she's going with that ship she's a fucking douche. No one with any sense of morality would ever accept a position from them.

    Funny how apparently all the 'christian/godly' (outspoken ones) types are attaching themselves to the apparent anti Christ. Well probably not literally but the description fits 1:1 and I'm an atheist but I think the Bible had a good description of that charlaton.

    I recall reading some old philosopher and they described the worst person, it was Trump. I could never find it again forget but it was Plato or Aristotle I think. There have always been those types in all of history. Somehow the US was hoodwinked into actually giving him power, rather than run him off like the snake oil salesmen he is.

    I'm not religious either, but I'm aware of the core principles of Christianity. Trump is the embodiment of greed, and goes heavily against what the Bible teaches, look no further than "love thy neighbor." He actively goes against that core principle daily. I'm sure someone has done a full write up of all the things trump has done that's against the Bibles teachings, yet these Bible loving """Christians""" swear he's the second coming of Jesus and was appointed by god.

    It's a cult, plain and simple. Christians follow him because a good amount of them are conservative, because their believe is only surface level. It's only faith when it's convenient and "against gods wishes or whatever" when it's against their conservative beliefs.

    Christians that belive trump is the greatest and sent to us by god haven't read the same fucking book they're constantly quoting, they're hypocrites and traitors to themselves and their supposed beliefs. He is in fact the antichrist according to these people's own book.

    This is the true Trump Derangement Syndrome, because once again, every accusation is a confession of the Repulikkkan party.

    "Could American Evangelicals spot the Antichrist?"

    The answer is, resoundingly: no, they cannot, despite having an entire Where's Waldo-esque guide to spotting him listed in their holy book that they love to claim to have read.

    I'm an atheist (reading the Bible critically will do that to you); and even I readily recognize that Trump, and men just like him, were explicitly called out and warned against in Revelations, among other chapters.

    You've missed the point, they KNOW he's the antichrist. They need him to be to get to heaven without actually dying. I'm the child of old conservative evangelical christian ministers, and I can tell you at 80+ they are more terrified of dying that any other single thing.

    Vance is not getting the succession though. Ha. That fucking tool? No one likes him, that's why he was chosen, so the big man wouldn't be shunted aside for him.

    After the dust has settled, Vance will be chopped liver mark my words. Hopefully this cynical bitch throws in her lot with him and get wasted too. Silver lining.

    Donald Trump is cancer. Literally couldn't be a worse person. And he thinks the concept of "qualified" means "is liked by people in power". If this administration doesn't depress you greatly, nothing will.

    Nothing of real value is given value by this administration. Only money and hoarding it matter, and nakedly so. They're literally citing greed as why starting a war is ok. "we're going to make a lot of money" is something actually said out loud by politicians in defense of a war. I cannot imagine how this government could get more corrupt.

    I wonder if she will have a nice couch in her office for Vance when he visits.

    On a more serious note, it is amazing how well her husbands killing has worked out for her professionally.

    I feel its more of a "never let a crisis go to waste", but I can't blame people for wondering if she was involved. I don't know if she's just full to the gills on botox or what, but her grief felt performative.

    Oh my god, congratulations Erika. Look how far you got exploiting that bullet in your husband's neck! Amazing. I'm sure his gay rumours were untrue, and that you loved each other so much! I hope you also one day get that closeted couch fucker away from his dirty foreigner wife! Such inspiration. Beautiful.

    Her ability to crank the afterburners on benefitting in her career from her husband dying has impressed even the Air Force's most aggressive fighter pilots.

    I remember going to the Air Force Academy as a kid when we went to visit my aunt who'd moved to Colorado Springs for work. We did the tour, and the guide said that it was one of the hardest schools in the world to get into. I have the feeling admissions will soon be based on your X posts and how many Trump coins you have. Fucking gross.
