Look, I love you fuckers, no homo (cept you, LW, nod-and-a-wink, necrobacon drops the panties!) and I got no problem with your political positions that are serious enough to want to start whomping on people. There are lots of people that need a good whomping, but most of the time you aren't beating the shit out of an actual pederast-nazi-terrorist, and it sucks dealing with hurting someone after it's done.
May feel damn good at the time when you're all righteous'D up, but whether you gave worse or got worse, you're still actively trying to inflict pain on someone else who just woke up one day and realized they were a little piece of the universe experiencing itself. Being on the receiving end of that sucks, being unable to protect your loved ones from it is one of those things where I don't ever want to say I went through worse than they did, but little kids shouldn't be dealing with shit that leaves you struggling to tame a rage issue into your 30's, which dwarf fortress actually helped me with (THANKS TOADY, LOVE YA MAN!) so I've got a nice fuzzy association with the boards and game and shit here going.
I don't want you guys rageful and angry and wanting to hurt each other, and I can't make any sort of internet tough guy statements, but I'm the oldest of 6, I'm bubba, so if you would be so kind as to fly down here to Memphis and line up so I can slap you upside the head and give you a hug and talk shit out, I'm here.
Now, given the cases I've seen over the years of women popping up, saying they had a rich guy with a lot of connections make things "uncomfortable" to be charitable, and given how few of them tend to be say... independently wealthy and connected to powerful people like lawyers, judges, employers, etc... I'm not going to take the word of the guy we know has been recorded casually bragging about doing this shit over that of a growing number of women saying they took a settlement or a deal or a payout or simply couldn't afford to keep fighting shit, and are now looking back and noticing "well shit, it wasn't just me" and saying something.
Given the opportunity, I would do everything in my power to get that slimy orange garbagesack to hit me, and I would enjoy hurting him, because I could rest easy knowing he would never have a "why did this happen to me? maybe I was wrong? I should try to be a better person" moment afterwards.
Rage sucks though, it sucks a lot, I'm glad my dad wussed out and offed himself because I don't have to deal with a premeditated murder charge, and my mom is safe. I'm still pissed that I didn't get to torture him, like he tortured her, and that is a fucked up situation to be in, and I've been like this all. my. life. 20 years that monster has been wormfood, and I remain pissed that I wasn't able to get strong enough fast enough to punish him.
Do any of you thinking about supporting Trump, or who know people who are/will, for any reason believe that "the party of wholesome american christian family values" should be handing more power to someone who quite happily used the power he already had to do the shit he brags about doing to young women?
Let's say, hypothetically mind you, maybe he's too old to do that anymore, and we can be confident that he'll never do this shit again.
Is that really the example you want to set for young men?
"Get enough power and you can do whatever you want to women as long as nobody winds up dead, and hey, get rich enough and you can deal with that too."
I mean, my position there is clear, and my situation is--god I fucking hope--more extreme than most, but I think reducing the number of young men wanting to do that shit, reducing the number of young women who will have to go through it, and hey... cutting down on fucked up childhoods like mine... that's not really what anyone could call a bad outcome, is it?
I chuckle at the crazy shit he says and does, but I've long held a pure easy hatred for the guy, the same as I do for any serial abuser, it's unfortunate... wait, no, I'm fucking glad most people don't have such an easy time accepting that people do this shit to other people. It sucks that it's still taking this long for it to sink in that he's unfit to hold power over others, but that is the truth of the matter.
Unsurprisingly, I'm disgusted by Bill abusing his power the way he did, and I'd be pretty fucking pissed off if he had been going around bragging about doing it like Trump has. Maybe he did, maybe he reformed completely, I don't know, I don't have to trust him or forgive him, and don't think Hillary should have, and think her intimidating victims is also disgusting... so I have the situation where I am not allowed to blame her because of who I am, and damn well don't gotta like her, but it's clear that she is obviously qualified and ready to handle being president.
So, sorry for the infodumpy rant but CHILL THE HELL OUT!
