    The nieces already say they don’t want to live with him and want to come up here. As far as my sister, she doesn’t need a new husband, she needs to learn to do what needs to be done and stop just hoping for things to magically work out.

    She needs to understand that her and him are over and done and aren’t going to get back together and even if they did, it would be the worst possible thing for her and the kids.

    Honestly, my family is a good reason why I try to be so logical and put pride aside when dealing with the facts because when emotions get into it, it’s like everyone turns into dumbasses. They want what they want and instead of basing their views and goals on the facts, it’s like they try and twist and throw out the facts as they like to get to the goal they want.
    Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
    "mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
    to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.

    Rand Paul sends official criminal referral for Fauci, for lying to Congress, to the DoJ.

    No, really.

    "I send this with no sense of irony," Paul didn't say but might as well have, "because there's no chance someone like me ever lied about COVID to Congress ever ever."

    Then he went to work out in the Senate gym.

    I don’t want to get you in any legal hot water so take this as more of a musing but… is it actually illegal to vaccinate someone “without parental consent?” Like, what legal statute could you actually be sued under?

    It appears to vary by state. This is more about the states that allow minors to receive care without parental consent, but I imagine doctors/care providers would be in hot water otherwise (not sure the exact consequences).

    I saw @Edge- answered, but I would imagine doing anything medical to someone else's kid is a really bad idea.

    I don't do reports Sundays and Mondays because over half the nation doesn't report in the weekend, but there's this:

    Provincetown issues new mask mandate amid Covid-19 case surge after Fourth of July

    Still no mask mandates from Florida. Fuck Florida and DeathSantis.

    Yeah, I can’t do it without parental consent and the dad is a guy who literally tried to tell me that Democrats were a bunch of devil worshippers who would burn in hell trying to justify his double standard on how they acted when I pointed out his hypocrisy.

    And my sister refuses to actually stand up to him on anything. The dumped her after treating her dirty and even with one of the kids staying with her she refuses to even go for child support or ask for money to help.

    This crap is beyond annoying to deal with but stuck around it because of family involved.

    SIIIIIGH the thing is Fauci should have been sacked a while ago, like, after he said masks don't work. dude is in his 80's and we can't find someone even half his age to do this job? really? never mind the cult of liberals that's sprung up around him... cringe.

    that being said of course the chief complaint from these psychos isn't that but of course the half baked conspiracy that China unleashed this virus knowingly onto the world for "reasons".

    He never said that. He, along with pretty much all medical experts said at the start of the epidemic that there was probably no need for masks, because they were working with the limited information available to them and it was not yet known just how contagious it was or exactly how it spread. Later he cautioned against everyone rushing out to buy masks because--thanks in large part to Trump not doing anything about the national stockpile being low--there were already too few PPE for healthcare workers and they needed them the most. Later, as more information became available (and as mask production caught up), he and the other medical experts said that yes, everyone should be wearing masks.

    While I agree in general that people should not be in important positions when they're reaching extreme age, he's proven that he's still mentally sound and still knows what he's talking about which is why he's still in that position.

    Trump doctor says Biden will resign due to cognitive decline. Guess he was upset about Biden trolling trump by drinking water with just one hand, lol.

    fair enough, I keep forgetting the looming cloud that was the absurd amount of incompetence of the then sitting president.

    For anyone who's wondered what it looks like during the often reported ranting and raving whenever something doesn't go Trump's way, I imagine it resembles this:

    holy shit, we actually have the nofly list. holy fucking bingle. what?! :3

    Fauci's presence slowed the damage Trump was trying to do the country. And he's been serving the country for something massive like 30 years. There's no reason to "sack" him.

    Nor did he lie to Congress. Rand Paul is desperate to break his winless record.

    Clearly, they cloned Trump because one just wasn't enough for all the winning. One remains in the WH, one goes to rallies.

    Depending on the state and age of the children, they may have rights to request what parent they wish to live with. Also, a lot of states have single parental consent, so as long as you can convince your sister, depending on the state they are in, they can get vaccinated and there is nothing legally he could do.
