This is a sanitized, short version of my story. I left out the gory details.
Replying to @tstuckyvip
Wow. Where to start. My father was a minister and my mother was a school teacher. The all American dream. I was supposed to be a minister, was groomed for it, and became one. The problem is, I was gay. So I stayed unmarried as long as I could, but in that career field you need a wife. I found that in my friend Raychelle. She was beautiful and toxic and had a drug problem. She was a model and worked in the cosmetics industry. I got her pregnant, and we quickly married, and had 2 more kids. I continued in ministry and also worked as an Area Sales Manager for Dillards. Her drug habit slowly got worse. She knew I was gay. We never touched each other much. She cheated, I looked the other way. Then I started dabbling in drugs and loved it. It triggered a sort of meltdown though, and I was diagnosed with bipolar. A bunch of stuff happened (I gotta skip a lot). In 2016, after her dad died, our relationship dissolved and I came out. It was fantastic. But I met the wrong guys and had already experimented with drugs, so it was on. I lost it. I lost myself. I lost it all. When I say I was hopeless, we’re talking 3 ICU stays for overdoses and 4 trips to rehab. But something clicked that 4th time. I got clean, and stayed in Baton Rogue until my ex wife died (Alcoholism) and my dad got sick. I got back home and got my shit together. I got on my feet. Got a good job. Dated quality men. Placed boundaries on myself I never had before like brutal honesty with myself and others, and no excuses. Excuses nearly killed me. I met David, a nurse, and married him last year. I live here with my 3 beautiful daughters who once wouldn’t even talk to me and I think I’m their favorite person. My mom is aging and I’m caring for her. I manage the internet order fillet for a major cooperation and I make almost as much as I ever have, and I’m happy. I’m authentic. It just took me 46 years to get here. Thank you for asking.

So because I'm anti-woke, a fan of mixed martial arts, and voted for Trump, I have to be cool with a UFC fighter calling former First Lady Michelle Obama a man at The White House? Nah.

I’m starting to think everything is by design and the liberals are supposed to fail. Cause you can only suck this bad if you’re really trying hard to bomb.
"No one is getting left behind this time" from what? And who are they singing about? And how are they so off-key? Rise Up Sing Out looks like a total bust.

Thank you, Governor. I’m not a Jackson fan. This was the right move to make.
Over the last eight years, we’ve achieved historic wins for hardworking Georgians from all walks of life and made our state the best place to live, work, and raise a family. We’ve passed the largest tax cut in state history, announced the largest economic development projects ever, raised teacher pay by nearly ten thousand dollars, led the entire nation in recovering from a pandemic, cracked down on criminal street gangs, invested historic amounts in school safety and classroom excellence, and made Georgia a national leader in job creation from businesses large and small. That’s a conservative record of success that Marty, the girls, and I are proud of—and it’s one that would not have been possible without our partners in the General Assembly. Whether it was during his service in the state senate or as Lt. Governor, @burtjonesforga has been a strong, trusted ally in those victories for the people of our state. He worked hard alongside me and my administration to return over $9 billion back to taxpayers, raise pay and retirement benefits for state law enforcement, and he never wavered when we took on the special interests to pass meaningful tort reform for the first time in twenty years. Burt knows how to get things done as governor because that’s what he has done as a state senator and as your Lt. Governor. The hardest part about being governor is making decisions that aren’t always popular or easy. I’ve worked alongside Burt for nearly fifteen years and I’m confident that he will always put hardworking Georgians first. This fall, Georgians will have a clear choice to make in their next governor. I believe Burt Jones will make a strong case to the voters for four more years of conservative leadership that ensures our state’s best days are ahead, while Democrats try to run from Keisha Lance Bottoms’ record of complete failure as mayor of Atlanta. Marty, the girls, and I are proud to endorse Burt Jones to be the 84th Governor of the great state of Georgia and ask you to join us in supporting him on Tuesday.

Only 16% of American men approve of the Democrat Party. Enjoy these 20 seconds to understand why.
Libs are counter-programming the UFC event at the White House. With this.

I mean, that was the one thing liberals had going for them and that’s gone.
It’s weird to watch the people who have owned culture and entertainment for generations put on shows this bad.

This feels like some weird, cultish, secular worship service. If you went to an Evangelical church in the 80s and 90s, you know. But decidedly worse to listen to.
It is impossible to describe how much worse this is than Kid Rock doing an alternative Super Bowl halftime show

If youre a Democrat, and you were hoping that your party would get its shit together and actually focus on policies the American people care about, you gotta be waking up by now. Not happening. Cause whatever that was that they pulled last night was typically out of touch and weird.

Now it makes sense.
This disgusting, ugly sub-human had the audacity to call Michelle Obama a man at the UFC Freedom 250 shit fest.

They still have a messaging problem, obviously.

I went to sleep around 9 PM last night. I have a Tuesday deadline at work and I've been busting it to make it. But the UFC event looked like a spectacular piece of Americana, and on that point, I admit I was wrong. It was bold, brash, and over the top. It was American. Now, I see people call Michelle Obama a man on here all of the time. And I totally get the irony since Dems were so hyper focused on getting people to transition for 10 years. But thats still the fucking White House. Its not X. And the real world is not X . If you asked your average Joe walking down the street if she's a man, he'd say no. And I've dabbled with conspiracy theories, and I dont believe it for a second. So it turned out to be a truly American spectacle. The execution was very well done. But the only fly in the ointment for my civilized mind was that statement. And to all of the hyper racists trolls out there who wanna bleet on about "White Culture," we are supposed to be refined and civilized. Thats what some of you think. How does a statement like that line up with your views? Maybe I'm just an old man, but we used to behave differently. We dont need to go back to sham politics, but I'd like some civility hack. Soon.

Another administration would. You know Trumps happy about it It's beneath us.
The fighter yelling “Michelle Obama is a man,” at an official White House event to honor America is utterly unacceptable and the administration should denounced it in no uncertain terms.

People ask me what people look like on drugs. This is a cocaine user who does in once or twice a week but went all fuckibg out with the lines for this event.
Joe Rogan is on air absolutely coked out of his mind We’re so back boys.

Dude, it’s not like anyone’s jaw is on the floor. We’re talking about Eric, here. Trump himself keeps his distance from him… For a reason.
MAJOR BREAKING: In a now deleted post by former MMA fighter Daniel Cormier, he posted screenshots of Eric Trump trying to get an insider scoop on whether any of the MMA fights at the White House are rigged so that he could try and illegally make money off of them.. Below is the Direct Messages that Trump allegedly sent Cormier. There is no reason to doubt the legitimacy of these messages.

I don’t think anything at first, but I do keep in mind that I’m gay, and they’ll act TOTALLY ok with that when they are ABSOLUTELY not. And it’s a strategy, so… That’s all I keep in mind.
Be honest: as a non-Muslim, when you see a Muslim, what comes to your mind first?
