Any ophthalmologists here? Optometrists? I had IOL implant done with catarct

surgery and made a horrible choice for the lens, because it was not explained properly to me I did not choose distance, I chose intermediate so now I still have to wear glasses or contacts when had I done DISTANCE I would not have to.

It is devastating.

Can LASIK be done on top of this to correct it? Does it depend at all on how much scarring was left over from my surgery?

Anyone who is not a gemologist or surgeon should not get anything but distance and I wish my doctors would have sat me down and said no, you dont want this, but they didnt. i.e. there is no reason on earth to not do distance unless you make your living looking at things 3 feet away...

Anyway, help.

They are killing us, they are killing Trans folks...killing POC...killing 75 yr old white

men or trying to.

They are killing us but hey, Hillary gave a speech once...Hillary and Trump are just the same, I had to hold my nose and tell EVERYBODY AND ANYBODY WHO WOULD LISTEN that I had to hold my nose...

These are the reasons we are now dying.

And they are going to attack Seattle next and then the rest of us when we vote.

Sorry, I will NEVER get over it!

Who is preparing for NOT being able to vote by mail or votes NOT being counted or internet

going down on or around election day courtesy of Putin?

I am not meaning this as a doom and gloom, at all...surely by now we understand these criminals wont go away AT ALL willingly, so to avoid an actual shooting war with us they will steal the election.

If they can...

Anyway they can...

Using any OUTSIDE force they can...

Joe Biden's job is to campaign and get votes, but OUR job, the heads of the DNC must be thinking about this????

Anybody here high up enough in the system to know?

Dale Earnhardt Jr & Bubba Wallace




Mike Davis Jr, also on the podcast, makes the perfect point...we all get mistreated from time to time, but if you are white you dont fear for your life.

I want apologies, and I want them NOW please! I would say WE but I guess I cant assume.

If you said

"I will vote for her but I will hold my nose"

(that one alone, spoken by any given person, is heard by 3 other people, 2 of them repeat it and it is heard by a total of 6 more, and on and on and on and before you know it, thousands of people who were on the fence are now NOT voting)

"But she gave a speech on Wall Street and was paid by corporatists"


(this one often was followed by "both parties are really the same", and when THAT one is heard by 2 people then 6 and so on, a few thousand MORE now not voting)

I assume anyone who participated in this (looking at you John Fugelsang, glad you are not doing it now but still) really sincerely no shit owes US an apology...dont you think?

This has ZIP to do with Bernie...people said this shit while the primaries were going AND AFTER!


BY THE WAY

It is not just about the BLM issue, while that is huge, the virus may KILL ME and it would NOT have had ....shit...FUCK

EVERYONE READ THIS and pass it on...

Per Thom Hartmann today, the fascist traitors will use the 12th amendment to keep the traitor in power.

The Twelfth Amendment stipulates that each elector must cast distinct votes for president and vice president, instead of two votes for president. ... The Twelfth Amendment requires a person to receive a majority of the electoral votes for vice president for that person to be elected vice president by the Electoral College.


If states cant certify the votes, etc.

The question, I hope everyone knows, is not will they steal the election or prevent it from coming to fruition legally but how...

I am not an expert, our experts here can expound on what Thom is talking about, I assume...

Make everyone aware of this.

Something about not being able to certify the votes, which then gives each state one vote. Like I said, I am not the expert, Thom is not going to mention this if there is nothing to it, he is smarter than that, our resident experts can expound.

United States is under attack from the Putin controlled WH and our own military.

Some of us predicted this years ago, but no time for told you so now.

About a 3rd of this country want us gone or dead, whatever way they dont care and they will use our military to achieve that if they can.

Putin wants back in the G7 and he wants to steal a bunch from Wall Street.

Donald Rump is an employee of the kremlin as is Moscow mitch and William barr...non capitalizing of names intentional, they dont deserve respect at any level.

Try and protect your family, if you are a POC or gay, be extra careful, that 45 million Americans hate you most of all.

ANY oppressed group, enslaved group, will likely have larger criminal record

statistics because they are born into a system where being BORN makes them criminals.

Drug laws ALL are designed to IMPRISON people with black skin.

Redlining laws are designed to protect oppressed people but the system still allows redlining.

Is it a coincidence more AA are dying from the virus statistically? That school systems are poorer in their communities?

BTW, if you reversed all this, the horror white people would visit on the land would make this look like a cub scout outing.

45 million Americans think those 8 years of Obama of prosperity and healing around the world

was a "nightmare", their words.

No fucking wonder they support a fascist killer.

Sorry, ruined your thread but I am so fucking angry, good news is most people have finally seen what I have known for years and are also FUCKING ANGRY!

Rump supporters dont deserve the prospering this man created for them, they dont deserve how he LITERALLY (not on his own but still) saved their lives by saving the economy.
