If only these supposed "libertarians" would stop trying to use the law to force everyone else to comply with their twisted worldviews and actually left the rest of us alone to enjoy the freedom from their insanity and shithousery that we are actually entitled to under the Constitution.

Holy cow.

Thank you for this clear-as-it-can-be explanation and advice.

Yes, I appreciate when people learn better in order to do better, and I hope we'll all see her continuing to do better. I hate what is happening to her on X and with Elon.

I wish that Elon Musk would go to Mars and never come back.

Why couldn't he develop sudden interest in deep-ocean exploration? We got rid of one rich asshole that way.

Really appreciate your take here, as always.

Thank you for this. We must all recognize honest attempts at redemption. People can change.

Completely agree with this. I hope her change is genuine. I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.

And I hope she wins the custody battle for her kid.

I read this, pausing at the end of each paragraph to think Elon Musk couldn't possibly be more of a shitstain, only to find in the next paragraph that he had taken on the challenge to be even worse. Apparently, to find out how awful a billionaire can be, you take the normal level of human awfulness and multiply by the billionaire's net worth. Of course the World's Richest Man would also be its Most Awful.

Family court is already an alcoholism generator that brings out the worst in people. I can't imagine it getting better with Elon involved.

I read through this and came out feeling that these people deserve each other.

I agree that we should give Ashley St. Clair a chance at redemption. Why? Because I was once a hardcore Zionist and I came around to anti-Zionism gradually over the decades. People can change over time. So I'll give Ms. St. Clair a chance. 🙂
