The unraveling of Mr. Trump.
December 29, 2022
When Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a Special Counsel to prosecute him, Donald Trump responded with a barrage of unhinged rants and over-the-top attacks. There then followed the House January 6 Committee referring him to the Justice Department on four (count 'em) federal felonies and the state of New York preparing to dismantle his corrupt business empire. Add in the ongoing investigations of his criminal behavior in Georgia and New York, plus the defamation lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll, and it's no wonder Trump is completely coming apart at the seams.
According to The Washington Post, ever since his announcement he was running again for president was met with a reaction that was, to be generous, lackluster, he has been "increasingly isolated" in his Mar-a-Lago hidey-hole. The Post went on to report that Trump is surrounded by just a couple of "sycophants," one of whom regularly phones around to ask his allies to call Trump to "boost his spirits with positive affirmations."
But the occasional pep talk from a pal can only go so far in alleviating Trump's psychological deterioration. Which is why his downward mental spiral was on full display over the weekend in a series of splenetic tantrums posted on his failing Twitter knock-off, Truth Social. Mostly, he continued to display his unceasing fury that the 2020 election was "rigged" and "stolen" from him. But he also has other manias. Here he is on Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas to EVERYONE, including the Radical Left Marxists that are trying to destroy our Country, the Federal Bureau of Investigation that is illegally coercing & paying Social and LameStream Media to push for a mentally disable Democrat over the Brilliant, Clairvoyant, and USA LOVING Donald J. Trump, and, of course, The Department of Injustice, which appointed a Special "Prosecutor" who, together with his wife and family, HATES "Trump" more than any other person on earth. LOVE TO ALL!
He followed this message of goodwill toward men with an outburst of demented harangues on Christmas Day about how criminals are pouring in on the southern border, how great everything was when he was president (but "today, we are a nation in decline, a failing nation!") and how awful the House select committee is.
Like some mad King Lear raging on a wind-blown heath, Trump now spends much of his non-golfing time crafting these psychotic ravings. Which prompted Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe to suggest that if Trump were to be indicted, his lawyers should have him "plead insanity." Sounds like good advice.

if any of the kids were to accidentally trigger something for phil durring babysitterza days, what would they do ? would they try to help or just instantly send someone out to call for an adult (and if so which adult(s) would they call for?) - 💿
Its inevitable that one of them would. Given how a lot of eggs are, Bobby and Ramon in particular, they are bound to trigger Phil at some point
When they do, Richas is absolutely the first to act, he stops everything and gets everyone's attention because he has seen this before. He has been with Phil for months of his imprisonment and he knows how to deal with it. He can work out what triggered him and get rid of it quickly
Chayanne is the one that gets help from an adult, usually Missa, and if he's not available, Bad and sometimes Wilbur bc even if hes evading his own guilt he still wants to help
And if Richas isn't there, Tallulah tries to help as best she can. She's a very smart kid, despite being the least developed and "youngest" egg. She's very good at comforting Phil and having a kid around helps calm him a lot
All of the eggs stop what theyre doing as soon as they notice and have varying methods of helping. Bobby shuts everyone up, Chayanne gets help, Dapper makes sure the environment is calm, Ramon takes Chayanne's place as protector egg, Tallulah sometimes plays music and Richas figures out what went wrong
Phil feels really bad that the kids have to help him but they all make sure he knows its okay and he cant help it and theyre big kids now and know how to help!!

I don’t even think it’s that Nie Mingjue doesn’t know Lan Xichen or understand him, it’s just that they’re work friends. He can confidently assert that Xichen never swears, because in the context in which he knows him, that’s true! He knows about the alcohol burning-off because it’s mostly used around him. They’ve had some deep conversations about the messy knot of being a too-young sect leader with too many expectations and a father’s kind of fucked up legacy bearing down on them. But there’s limits to what they can talk about, and how deeply they can get into certain things, and how they can challenge each other because the coworking relationship has to be maintained. So like... there are things Nie Mingjue thinks they agree on because Lan Xichen just kept his mouth shut because getting into it was risky and unnecessary. And meanwhile Jin Guangyao knows Lan Xichen outside of work, and also knows him compromised, and that’s a very different kind of relationship. If that makes sense.

"supposed" transphobe
asaik he has not said anything transphobic and jusr donated to donate to some alt right political figures
but he has also donated to some lgbt charrity, and while this doesnt automatically make him good
i still belive that the situation isntr as black and white as everyone puts it
He still donated money to alt right politicians tho. So like yeah it isn’t black and white but monetarily supporting transphobic, among other things, politicians and saying he doesn’t regret it isn’t exactly the best look ya know?

God, I had one (1) candid conversation with my mother and now she keeps telling everyone that I have no filter. Not my brother, who never watches his language and talks about going off on park rangers and road raging and how he was gonna punch the guy dropping a package off at our house for almost running into him. Not my brother who mutters shit under his breath in front of my parents, who throws fits when he gets scolded even though he's 31. Not my brother who barely has a filter at work by his own admission.
Me. Who doesn't curse in front of my parents. Who always watches what I say so I don't start a fight. Who admitted to my parents there are things I'd like to tell my brother but don't so I don't come off sounding like another parent to him.
I am the one who doesn't have a filter.

Just found out what little I did manage to save this year all has to be paid in taxes and I will not be able to afford basic necessities next month because of it. I made juuuuuust over $30k and therefore I owe money despite the fact that I live in one of the most expensive parts of my state. And it’s more important for the government to take my paltry savings so they can buy bombs to blow up Palestinians than it is for me to be able to feed myself
I’m feeling very violent rn
