AntiTrumpAlliance

This made me realize a common trait with members of this administration: their mothers or other immediate family members being disappointed and embarrassed by them. Trump, Hegseth, Miller, to name just three.

Not a big surprise considering how awful so many people in this administration are s human beings. But still... It makes me wonder how insecure and resentful they must be about being rejected by their birth families. Lots of mommy and daddy issues. And the world is feeling the brunt of that.

ETA: this yahoo article does a good job of summing it up

Is it too late for her to get an abortion?

I mean my mother's ashamed of me because I'm trans and an atheist, someone's mother criticising them doesn't automatically mean that person's bad

This person seems bad for other, more relevant reasons

Is this an actual quote?

Brutal. I can't even imagine being such a piece of shit, that my mom has to tell me what a piece of shit I am

Son,

I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out..

You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.

I am not a saint, far from it.. so don’t throw that in my face,. but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.

Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as “unstable” for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith.

I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side… bunk… we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont’ care)

Don’t you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us… that’s what babies do. It’s time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women

We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don’t want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted]

And yes, we are praying for you (and you don’t deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply)

I don’t want an answer to this… I don’t want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But… On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say… get some help and take an honest look at yourself…

Mom

I may be considerably screwed up, but my mom still tells me she's proud of me.

I may never have the wealth, or the resume (no matter how bullshit), or the power, or the cult like following that many in the administration has. But I will always have one thing that none of them could ever get.

A proud mother will always be my edge. And that’s worth more than anything any one of them could ever achieve, to me. In fact I think I’ll send her this with this message right now. I’m so grateful for her. Love you mom.

His mom hates him for being a piece of shit. Somehow he still justifies his actions in his own mind.

She should have dealt with that when he was still young. Now, I think she should just smack the crap out of him. I sure as hell would if my child grew up to be a horrific PoS...

There’s no burn like a mom burn

Occasionally there will be a post something like, "If there were one stat above everyone's head what would you want it be?"

I'd want it to be a measure of the accuracy of a person's self-perception compared to the consensus of everyone else. A 1 would indicate a perfect alignment between your self-perception and others. A 0 would be a complete misalignment.

Somewhere I'm guessing around the 0.2 mark we start disqualifying people from certain jobs, like leading national policy.

I think an ability to accurately self assess maps to higher empathy and intelligence.

This fucker bottoms out the scale.
