       ThreadLet me use my own life to try and help people STOP expecting good sense and sanity from the Democrats.In 1993, my girlfriend of five years threw me out because her parents pressured her to marry a rich doctor, which she did.She spent almost a year abusing me before I finally gave up and left.After she was safely engaged, she tried to make friends with me.She explained that she didn't mean anything she said, but she just had to get rid of me ASAP to please her parents.

       She neither understood nor cared about the agony she'd inflicted on me.It took me 20 years to accept that she'd never cared about me.It was all an act.I'd been warned away from her, but I was smitten by her intelligence, humor, and beauty.I gave her too many second chances to count, and in the end, she tossed me away like used Kleenex.

       The eerie thing is that the 2003 movie Hulk takes place where we lived--San Francisco--and Jennifer Connelly looks, speaks, and acts exactly like her.Hulk has a rage problem.My ragewent away when I was with her.But it was all an illusion.I turned down her offer to be buddies.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4x8yrOirtc

       Fast forward to 2021 and my brother evicts me from OUR Vegas house for a bogus reason.He pushed and pushed and pushed until I reacted with sarcasm, and then he got all huffy and demanded to know what the parameters of our conversations were.When I told him to do some self-reflection and then told him to stop interrupting me--he's a chronic interrupter--he hung up on me and said I couldn't live there.

       For a full day, I explored my options.There were none.I had to start all over again, with no house or furniture, and he was going to pay me only what was left on the mortgage, NOT half of what the house is worth now.Then the solution came to me:I emailed him that I was going to move into our parents' house, and he could take me to court to get me out.He meekly accepted, since after he has a tantrum,he always feels bad.Now he wants to be buddies again.

       He has neither an understanding of what he did nor the desire to know.He got what he wanted--the new house--and he got rid of me, so now we can be pals.Nope.I won't ever speak to him face to face again.He's pulling his bullshit about coming here as soon as I move my stuff into my new house, but I refuse to be here.For one thing, he lost his privilege of knowing me, and for another, at some point he'd lose his marbles again.

       He doesn't know ME, but I know HIM.And after he gets rid of everything here except for my house, he becomes a person I used to know.Since he stopped taking his meds, started drinking, and started hanging out with bikers, he's become DUMB.And BORING.Just like my ex.I spoke to her 20 years after she drove me away, and she was as dumb as a pile of sawdust.Two decades of being a trophy wife withered her brain.That and the drinking.

       I don't agonize over my brother.He's just the last of my siblings to give up.Now all five are dumb losers, embittered and chasing their own tails.I'm the only one who had the guts to go to psychotherapy and find out WHY.It was agony, but I had to do it.Now I can THINK. I'm under no illusions.And I'm not BITTER. I felt despair for only one day at losing everything AGAIN, but then I realized that I already had a house and furniture.Yes, it's HERE, but so what?

       My brother bought us a house with a CHICKEN FARM right outside my window.He IS a screwup.In fact he screws up everything he does. But he's in love with his own failure.In his case, he was given a rare second chance at life. He almost died, and he in his near-death experience, he was basically shown the meaning of life.But it was too scary.He turned his back on it, so he could drink and play Daddy to people even more messed up than he is.He's threatened by excellence.

       As long as you keep questioning WHY crazy, destructive people do things, you'll never find peace.They do these things because they're crazy and destructive.So you have to WRITE THEM OFF.If you don't, they'll drag you down with them.A Sunni tribal chief in Iraq told an American soldier how the world works:All people are in jars.Americans are in a jar with the lid screwed down tight. This is to prevent them from taking over the world.

       Europeans are in jars that have lids not screwed on so tightly, because if they get out, it's not as dangerous as if the Americans get out.The rest of the world is in jars with NO lids, because if anyone tries to get out, their countrymen pull them back down inside.In the end, everyone who you try to understand takes care of themselves.They pull themselves down back inside the jar.Stop wondering why the Democrats do what they do.

       They're doing the majority of Trump's work for him, so when he decides that the time is right, the country will embrace him with open arms.He will be a LIVING LEGEND.And that's all that matters.END

       @ThomasWic 1) Again, sorry about your brother.  2) It was 0bamacare that convinced me the Democrats were impractical.  It was the persecution of Kavanaugh that convinced me they were insane.  It was BLM/Antifa that convinced me they were evil.  And it was the nomination of Biden that convinced me they were stupid.I was damn well *raised* a Democrat in the 70s and 80s.  Nowing what I know now, it's like I escaped an insane asylum

       @ThomasWic ... my dad and I have gone back and forth about how much Trump's ego is at play here. He thinks Trump's ego is a powerful motivator. I think doing the right thing for the sake of the rest of us is more powerful than his ego.I've realized it doesn't matter which one of us is more accurate.What's best for his ego is also what's best for the rest of us.He's one of the good ones. 🙏❤🇺🇸

       @ThomasWic Your jar story reminds me of something my Grandfather used to joke about.  He said that God gave the Irish a taste for the drink so that they wouldn't rise up and take over the world. I guess that means that they're not in a jar, but rather holding jars with no tops that are perpetually filled with whiskey?Or something.

       @ThomasWic Trump will never give up and I will never give up on him. When I was in grade school my friends and I would argue over who was the better band, Elvis Presley or the Beatles. It all seemed in good humor. Today I still can't decide.

       @ThomasWic I have long believed that probably by 2024, no one will be able to remember how they felt that Orange Man was Bad a few years earlier (except a small remnant of incurables). After that zeitgeist change, almost all will embrace him.

       @ThomasWic A lot of real life wisdom you got there.In my program of recovery if your trying to save someone who doesn't want to be saved we say, "he'll get you drunk before you get him sober."  Ya got to cut them loose and pray for them.  If prayer is not your thing,  do whatever get's you through the night.

       @hejoural @ThomasWic When my partly-Irish husband heard about the book "How the Irish Saved Civilization," he thought it was a joke.Nope. It was real. The Irish really did.Then they got a taste for the drink. 😉 They did their part.

       @ThomasWic wow - you were looking so forward to LV- Sucks Then again if you don’t have expectations of others they can’t disappoint you.

       @ThomasWic Thomas so sorry about your brother, and glad you at least have a place to live.  It takes enormous courage to do the work in psychotherapy, it moved you to the next level.  It’s painful when you can’t relate to family members, as the bond of growing up together is strong, and one always hopes they will make the effort.You have a lot of folks here who appreciate you.  Hope you can eventually move to a better neighborhood.

       @ThomasWic I've cut my sister out of my life after one too many back stabbing. I realized her issues were self loathing, insecurity and jealousy. It's been 15 yrs since I closed the door. She keeps knocking but I never answer. It's quite liberating to be free of family toxins.

       @God_Bless_The_US @ThomasWic @Debradelai @DuaneCates I've been having the same issue and the funny thing is, this problem is  somewhat new.Up until maybe 6 weeks ago, I never had any trouble uploading a photo or screen shot.@Debradelai

       @ThomasWic I know this. So WHY do I hold out hope that they’ve got to reach bottom at some point. And yet, their freefall continues. Obviously, MY thinking is skewed because it’s crystal clear they are in a bottomless pit.

       @ThomasWic The dude on the far left looks just like my ex brother in law. Another crazy freak. He considered himself to be a genius because doing acid opened and freed his mind.

       @ThomasWic Thomas I can relate to that. Tried nearly my whole life to befriend my unfriendly older sister (she is a self loveing egoist). 25 years ago she refused to visit our mother on her death bed albeit it was her last wish. She refused to share the funeral cost born by me alone. I gave up on her, if I would see her laying on a street I wouldn't help her even if I could but I would also not step on her. Met my baby brother 2 yrs ago after 43 yrs. He is the same aggressive maniac as my

I feel like the crazy is on me!!" Hahaha!Followed you a number of years now and I gotta tell ya...you're a GEM, Thomas.
