I can only imagine what his views are on race, gender, etc. Bad ideas come in bunches.

The American way… stick to your ways, don’t let facts get in the way and then bellow our socialism, fascism and other words you don’t mean to shut your mind off. Most people would want a complete review of a broken system. Not Americans.

Get ready for some bullish!t. Ain’t nothing accurate or obvious or sensible coming out of his or her mouth after they say “we believe.” You’re about to make a stop in the Land of Make Believe.

These people are stupid—there’s no other way to put it! And then they call you intolerant. Yes… I’m very intolerant about bad ideas! Not all ideas are created equal and your ideas are stupid, is what I want to tell them.

They’re begging for donations. I told the father about a year ago, “I’m surprised your daughter and son-in-law did it.” “It” was take part in a military program that pays for all childcare expenses at birth. I told him it sounded like social welfare and he got huffy. “If I didn’t know you better, I would have taken your comment personally.” They are a mess as they

The gay son is playing the game. Sorry, not sorry. He’s too afraid of falling into disfavor with people who don’t and won’t like him. That’s regrettable.

I have never seen a sadder thing… Mormon battling brain cancer, after just complaining about socialism and all the people who don’t work compared to the workers (dog whistle if there ever was one). Now his anti-socialist wife is running a Go Fund me page to help with expenses… the indignity of it all… but they have no shame and introspection. But she and her husband have thei

I just got back from Australia. I was there to look at business opportunities and was warned before about Aussies’ “cowboy spirit.” A New Yorker told me to get everything in writing with them because they have a reputation for being aggressive. I saw a little bit of what he was talking about… But on my return to America and reading the news I am reminded of the British. The

And it went as well as you’d imagine… and possibly even better. He truly has an open minded and thought this was a fault-building exercise. https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comments/vpa61y/im_a_mormon_who_believes_in_the_entire_scriptural/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Yesterday, at lunch, I heard a conversation about Gary, our Mormon accountant. He was out yesterday but his colleagues were talking about putting missing persons reports out on two of his daughters. Why, you might ask, would they talk about filing this report? Well, he hasn't mentioned them in about a year but he's repeatedly mentioned helping his third daughter move to go to nursing

Then Gary should have told us it’s none of his business rather than the stutter, long pause and then the School of Life obfuscation.

Typical office small talk at lunch… Everyone is talking about what their families are doing… Office workers’ kids’ upcoming events, scholarships, new jobs, hopes and aspirations. Then the engineer who has issues with social norms turns to the quiet Mormon and asks, “What about your daughters, Gary? They’re about my age.” Crickets… Then cringeworthy silence…

One of the witch hunters, Facebook contact tracers is a nurse. I think she’s the niece. But she bought her unvaxxed baby to this wedding too. Several of the family are sick now.

An elderly TBM grandparent just died of COVID after contracting it from attending a wedding. (2nd time it’s happened in the last year with this family). Now they’re contract tracing on Facebook like friggin idiots: “Who came sick?” “Who didn’t mask up?” Idiots. And this woman had 6 kids. Not one warned her that she’s in a high risk group? And that going to the backwo

Yes... Pregnant again... Another baby shower invite... And grandfather, who is my colleague, really thinks his daughter did something... He's grinning ear to ear like the Cheshire cat. He's ecstatic about her pregnancy like she won a Nobel Prize. I might contribute $100 to a scholarship fund. Graduating college is harder than getting pregnant... *drops mic*

This idiot I know buying ChiPo through the mail got fired and moved to Idaho with his in-laws. They told the in-laws that he was arrested for ChiPo but didn’t mention the little boys part. So he’s calculating and strategic there. Maybe having same sex attraction is a bigger taboo than attraction to minors. Friggin all around idiot. But it was a good opportunity yo talk with the P

It’s a MORmON thing… I know a TBM who bought ChiPor through the mail, straight off a website and was shocked the Post Office seized his computers and put out an arrest warrant on his stupid a$$. He told the cops in front of me—sans asking for a lawyer—that he would never hurt a child… apparently just buy a video of abuse though.

No anxiety about the future grandchild being raised in poverty. No anxiety about his daughter or son-in-law not having a career or anything to fall back on. Very strange guy. Grandparents are supposed to be older and wiser. He’s not wiser. And he’s barely older at 49.
