Sitting here in my flu fever induced haze

staring at my desktop monitor. Don't know what to post...except this...

These men that are beating women...these men that are taking sexual advantage of women...they're really just filthy fucking pigs, aren't they? Look at Trump and the pussy grabbing thing...I'm seriously on the verge of puking right now from illness, and when I think of that orange creep making an unwanted move on a woman, it almost throws me over the edge.

You will NEVER hear a man say to his friends "I showed her last night. I gave her a black eye". "Or, 'I felt her up and she didn't like it". Wait, I take that back...you might hear these things if you are in Trump's circle.

That's what makes all of this stuff so bizarre to me. These are not things that you brag about. These are things that you hide, from your best friends. Not Trump though..he brags about it...makes him an alpha male I guess. Oh well, i've always thought this whole alpha male thing was bullshit...it is just a means to hide the fact that you are an insecure toddler in a man's body. And yes, I know that men get abused by women also...I'm well aware. But I am speaking here of the men who do it.

Anyway, I posted a thank you thread yesterday I think in the lounge for my hearts, and I would like to thank the people in this forum also. They mean a lot to me.

Hopefully I'll be able to put a thought into sentence form soon.

That flu shit ain't nothing to play around with. Keep posting so we know you're doing (relatively) ok.

you will be feeling better “sooner rather than later.” “These men?” Can they really be men? Real men, at least the ones I know, do not do such vile, disgraceful and, yes, deplorable things. These are phony tough guys, guys who, if they did go up against a real man, would get the living shit kicked out of them. What would give me great pleasure would be to see a Black belt just go to town, in self defense, of course, on one these “tough guys!” Oh by the way did I mention I’d love to see a “gurl” black belt do it.

...he's a sexual predator, yet everyone around him in every industry has been outed, forced to resign, fired, jailed ..yet, the racist predator in chief accused by over 16 women of assault is still standing, still has a jobinOUR house...Why?

I feel for the women who were brave enough to talk about how trumpf assaulted them...we, the American people failed them, the media,the justice system, congress failed them as well. Where are the committee hearings regarding trump's victims? Where is the urgency to address his predatory behavior, a call for his victims to testify so that his predatory behavior is of public record, and at minimal-- a formal censure be given to trumpf.

We ignored their voices...and perhaps others who may be afraid to come forward, who may have been threatened, intimidated by the occupant in the WH...all the while congressional repubs are complicit.


Ps ..feel better! Paz... .

Drink TONS and TONS of water!!!!!

I got a flu shot as usual and now I can't teach anymore due to being in that environment for too long. I am almost hibernating at home since my resistance and natural immune system have been shot to Hell from teaching elementary school. It is a germ breeding ground. Parents send their kids in while they are sick since they have to go to work and can't afford baby sitters. The kids get it, go out sick, come back too soon and go out sick again...all the time infecting each other and their poor, old teacher (me).

Parents, PLEASE keep your sick kids home for 48 hours after they have NO FEVER!

Wow, flu fever must have you hallucinating about that inability to put a thought into sentence form! You definitely still have it!

Was going out for supper w/gf but now it'll be next week.

With the Trumpsters, it's just 'locker room talk'.
