But seriously Dad stopped talking to me and I followed suit. That was about 2 years ago. I missed him at first and worried about missing out on what little time he had left.

I eventually realized that I was missing something that no longer existed. My Dad either never was what I thought or became something I didn’t want in my life.

So I buried him. This way I can preserve what good memories I had and learn to live life without that relationship.

I he’d a funeral for the one that went MAGA in my mind. I gave a great eulogy. All my favorite food was served at the meal following the wake. Easily in my top 10 funerals.

Agree that’s the tactic being used now and that was used then.

Disagree with the quote attribution, which in context of the post seems important enough to mention.

Tbh... This split perfectly represents why there is no going back to how it was before. There is only whatever comes next and the battle to shape that. Anyone that was hoping for a return to pre-Trump America needs to come to terms with this and pick a side (and hopefully realize there is more than two to pick from)

Along with rest, how much sleep are you getting. I kept up a similar pace for about 2 years before life commitments required scaling back. When I felt as you are describing I was not getting enough sleep.

Health reasons is my understanding. Belle is hitting her stride though.

Let's talk about foreign policy games and classic games....

You are not your job, you're not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You are not your fucking khakis. You are all singing, all dancing crap of the world.

But seriously… it sounds like you were letting the outside world define you. Maybe use the silence to try to define yourself from the inside out?

What do you want to fill the silence?

Edit: typo

Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse committed with the necessary intention as defined by the law in a specific jurisdiction.

Justification is a defense in a criminal case, by which a defendant who committed the acts asserts that because what they did meets certain legal standards, they are not criminally culpable for the acts which would otherwise be criminal.

NYS Penal Law SECTION 35.15 Justification; use of physical force in defense of a person

Whether or not he is a murderer depends on whether the DA can meet their burden of proving he committed the acts necessary to satisfy the elements of NYS definition of whatever degree of murder the Grand Jury indicts (if that happens) AND he is not able to establish the affirmative defense of justification.

None of these determinations have been made yet.

I gotta ask, are you a time traveler or a boot licker?
