explain how the filibuster is a problem well yea .. to me it seems like talking your head off to stop a ratification. helluva tool

Thats the thing...unless something dramatic happens no party is ever going to have sixty members in the Senate. Which means the party that "lost" will always have a sort of semi veto in place to keep the party that "won" from doing everything it wants.

I say, get rid of it. Now the party that wins can do what it wants. See how they govern. Does it make people's lives better? If so the party that's actually getting stuff done will keep winning and there will be a lot less pointless grandstanding.

also getting rid of filibuster would help since it would mean parties would have to put up or shut up when they were in power.

or ron paul

My take on Ron Paul and his son Rand is they are establishment Republicans who pretend to be idealogically libertarian to seem like mavericks and to stand out in politics. Both want/wanted to be President very badly.

I remember thinking Ron Paul sounded pretty reasonable when he was running for President but he was frothing at the mouth about the deep state during impeachment. Any politician, especially a congressman, who seriously talks about the deep state is a complete yahoo.

I appreciate your honesty. And maybe this was already mentioned in other comments, I didn't read them, it is a lot, but I wonder what about your wife being fat is really bugging you. Are you not attracted anymore? Or do you feel like she is more of a homebody now and you two are doing as much socially or whatever?

It is alot, thank you for hanging in and reading it all.

Good question.

Well..dammit.

There are a few things

I feel like ***sex is and has been a massive motivator for me in my life. And I want to have ***sex with a fit athletic woman.
I fear that never happening now. And this is going to sound so, aweful.
But gah... ***sex is one of the purposes I have set in my brain for my life.
Her being fat represents a failure on my part, and the loss of an identity, of being who I want to be and be with.
We still (so far) have a great ***sex life but the past couple days I have felt less attracted the more I have dwelt on this.

Again, I want to have ***sex and be with a fit athletic woman, and if I don't have that, really what's the point?

Again so melodramatic, so serious and hownstupidndoes this sound?
Yet I mean it.
For me that has been my purpose for living, that was the goal I was going for.
And now I'm trapped


....

***Sex is very important. Are you only attracted to athletic women? That makes things hard, I would think. Personally I like most shapes and sizes that women come in. You should try and sexualize and objectify your wife's body more. Give that booty a slap. Or whatever. I don't mean to be graphic, but maybe it will help.

Help me with this

One of the reasons I don't post as much is most of what is in my head lately is political stuff and since that one post about bullying and political stuff I'm reluctant to make posts about that.

I wonder if it is the same for other people...I think the election is taking up a lot of real estate in all our brains these days.

Then again, who has...?

Really? I think he seems actually really spry for a 60 year old. And he still has that high pitched voice.

I think a lot of people think it's all just hype. But we are really at a turning point and it's not even necessarily linked to Trump, Democrats, or Republicans.

All our lives and this country are going to change a lot in the next twenty years. It's shocking how Covid happening is not enough to wake people up to that.
