President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Hear, hear.

Ten years ago, Cognitive behavioral therapy along with a rigorous workout routine rewired my brain in ways the closest people around still can hardly believe, sending me along a life path that seemed impossible just a year before. From 320 pounds, isolated, debilitated by anxiety and actively trying to kill myself with my life choices to 170 pounds, married with a child, outwardly and internally optimistic and happy.

There are first steps you need to take to be ready for behavioral therapy to stick, but once it does it can be a game changer.

But as others have said, many still require medication and other strategies. So many would live a better life with some minor adjustments to how they see themselves and the world and recognize how their brain is often actively tricking them.

 

Oh noes, now some students there will be forced further to the right and have to embrace authoritarian leaders!

 

I don’t think I post like a duck. And I certainly don’t vote like one.

 

I don't care how you claim to vote. At the risk of over-extending the metaphor, I definitely see the quacking when you post. I won't speak for others, but I certainly don't seem to be alone in that.

 

“Unverified first person account” is an interesting way of describing a sworn affidavit.

But, that said, Reed’s lawyer’s statement to the PD - parents and those transitioning are happy now, just like opioid addicts, but the cost is coming - isn’t really related to her original claims, and seems like an altered argument.

 

Which part is the sworn affidavit?

All I see is a link to a letter to the AG.

I’m not sure there’s any Republicans on the board at all. At least not Trump Republicans. And I’m neither at any rate.

But I do view Trump to be somewhat a reaction to the Democrats drifting away from core economic issues.

 

Thanks.

Is there a link to the affidavit in the piece?

 

Funny how you always regurgitate Republican talking points, such as trying to blame Democrats for Trump.
