Good Evening Centipedes!
I wanted to take a moment to throw together a little thread that hopefully, someone in the campaign might find to show the President. News broke recently that the President's brother fell ill. It is never easy watching as family members fall sick, or dealing with any serious illnesses or injury. But imagine for a moment being the leader of the free world. You are constantly under assault by the media. Lies are spread about you daily, which slander and tarnish your reputation and degrade your name. Politicians and intelligence agencies worked together to create the Russia Hoax to pin you as an Unamerican Putin puppet...
Your one respite is being able to hold rallies, where you are reminded on a consistent basis that the people who elected you still love and appreciate you regardless of the treasure trove of bullshit you have to deal with. Now due to the COVID 19 garbage, you can't even have that...
Our president has dealt with more bogus crap than any elected official in modern history CHANGE MY MIND. So tonight, I want all of you to take this thread and tell him what you appreciate about him. What do you appreciate about his family? What has he done that has positively impacted you, or your family? At what point in time did you become a supporter and what made you realize he was the right man for the job? How has the past 4 years benefited your life, and how has Trump been responsible?
This summer has sucked ass thanks to the fabricated virus panic. But lets take our notoriously high energy and give our President some love!
What gave me this idea you ask? Well today Rudy Giuliani gave one of the greatest speeches I have seen in some time. I highly encourage everyone to watch the whole event, but for those of you with time constraints Here is Rudy's portion. Rudy absolutely knocked the ball out of the park. Trump spent the overwhelming majority of his time thanking the NYPD and reminding them that the American people still stand with our police, and those putting their lives on the line for us every day. I think we should return him the favor.
For those of you that are religious, please keep Robert Trump in your prayers. For those of you that aren't... find god you heathens..... I kid. But seriously, take a moment to wish his brother well and lets show Trump that he has millions of hard working Americans that stand with him, support him, and appreciate all the shit he has sustained over the last 4 years.
God bless.

Don't fall off the wagon! You were meant to be sober to defend your neighborhood. :)
Seriously, thanks for the inspiration. I drink more than is good for me, although a little less lately, which is good. I'm glad to see so many pedes throwing off that monkey.
I don't need to fall off the wagon, I really go splat when I do : )
I envy people who can drink responsibly, I have good intentions but can't do it- after that first drink I'm unstoppable until I incapacitate myself. This is also one of the reasons why I have little social life, I have no patience dealing with people who are similarly self-destructive and have no awareness of how their bad behavior affects others.
I agree 100% with all of that!
It took a long time of observing binge-drinkers not remembering the damage they wrought, and much frustration in trying to reason with them- before realizing I was there myself. Obviously, you can't reason with a drunk or an addict about the realities- because they honestly are not aware of what they've done in a state of blackout, and this is why they are so invested in their denial.
In my case, the difference was: when I realized I was also so far gone I wasn't remembering everything, I cut myself off for good and stopped drinking immediately. It took waking up with obvious bruises/abrasions etc to realize it, but I needed that level of physical evidence to sell me on it. Unfortunately, I know far too many people who either can't accept similar (or more serious) warning signs, or disregard them, proudly embracing their eventual fate and gleefully inflicting it on others.
Seeing so many people divorced, going to jail, unprovoked rudeness and violence, so much unnecessary failure... eventually it was obvious that binge-drinking was an undeniable factor in most of these cases. When I discovered I was closer to that than I realized, it was very easy to make the decision to avoid drinking, before any of that happened to me.
I can imagine it must be tough to deal with others who have not experienced what you have. I know other sober folks who have similar experiences. God bless you pede. Keep on trucking.

It is difficult, and as I've mentioned elsewhere: even more so with people who are faced with the evidence that their screw-ups are affecting others, and proudly stay the course of failure. I've known far too many alcoholics/addicts who know fully well that their misbehavior is bad for their friends/family and their life situation, but refuse to consider that they could take action to improve things.
Much like trying to enlighten/inform the never-Trump Leftist types who are so MSM-indoctrinated they can't handle cognitive dissonance, it is a waste of time and energy to attempt to help many problem drinkers/addicts. I find it a better use of my time/energy to persuade people who have the capacity to be persuaded, like drinkers who have not yet let binge-drinking control their lives, or let TDS control their brains.
Yes. Go for the ones who aren't too far gone. Myself included - I need to cut back. It's getting easier to do.
MAGA, brother.
