Stick to your guns OP. People here are judging your Dad for cheating, but it sounds like your Mom has been actively alienating everyone around her for years. People who make life difficult for those around them will eventually find themselves alone. People eventually stop dealing with their bullshit, and move on in life. It sounds like you and your Dad decided to move in a less stressful, more fulfilling direction. He found love, and you found peace, while your Mom wants to continue sowing discord, drama, and chaos in your lives. I don't blame you for rejecting her efforts, and choosing peace.

Most places in America, it's about $3. Where I live, it cycles between $2.90 and $3.20. it's about $3.09 today.
There have been several mass shootings which were stopped when the shooter stopped to reload, and a bystander was able to intervene at that moment. Limiting the capacity saves lives.
Gun advocates like to mock those who want to ban military-style guns, while other hunting rifles with the same capacities are still available, but that misses the point. If both guns were the same, why are nearly all mass shootings done with military-style weapons, and are NEVER done with standard hunting rifles?
Something that is never discussed is the psychological effects of military-style weapons, in both the shooter and the victim. In general, mass shooters are people who feel weak, abused, outcast. A scary black gun makes them feel powerful in a way that a standard hunting rifle doesn't. In addition, that military-style gun is scarier to their intended victims as well. It forces them to fear the shooter, something the shooter craves.
Military-style weapons may not have any more practical characteristics than a standard hunting rifle, but it's psychological effects are much stronger.
HitlerPig's primary campaign promise was to lower prices, which were already under control. Now prices are going up significantly, and the media isn't going after him for it. I have heard him claim in multiple interviews that gas is $2 a gallon, and yet I've never heard a journalist challenge that easily disputable lie. There is not a single place in this country where gas is $2, so why aren't they demanding answers when he says this? Where is it $2?
Every interview should be demanding how he intends to bring down prices, like he promised, and when it will happen.
His board of directors is glad to have him back. He has singlehandedly tanked his companies' brand image and sales with his irresponsible ego bender, and there has to be serious talk of a shareholder lawsuit in the works, especially after that last disastrous earnings report. The Board probably convinced them to hold off until the next earnings report, hoping things will improve, but it won't. Once a bubble pops, it doesn't reinflate again.
The only thing holding up the stock at this point is that it is a major holding in many institutional funds. As future earnings report remain poor, or even get worse, those institutional funds will start dumping it, and then it will fully crash. At that point, the lawsuit will go forward.
The Board is just hoping that by forcing him to get back to work, and not tolerating his nonsense any more, they may be able to avoid being named in the lawsuit as well.

Ketamine and Ecstacy are two different drugs.
I always describe MAGA as "virtuosically incompetent." It's breath-taking how stupid/ignorant they are, and yet they are so absolutely CONVINCED they are correct.
I've been saying that whenever someone brings up Hanlon's Razor. There needs to be a new one, called The MAGA Razor - always assume the reason is deliberate malice, even enthusiastic cruelty.
Hard to keep secrets when the President is openly selling them to anyone who is buying.
He's busy. Wake him up when he has to approve the next bribe.
It was actually only one of dozens of similar atrocities that happened around that time. In fact, 1919 is referred to as "Red Summer," for the number of organized attacks on black neighborhoods.
I live in the Orlando area, and a local news station did an extended story on the 100th anniversary of a local massacre in Ocoee,, caused when a black citizen insisted on voting in the 1920 Presidential election. 30-80 black citizens were murdered, their properties confiscated, and the rest driven from town. Their stolen properties were distributed among prominent white members of the town, whose families still own the properties to this day.
Like most of these massacres, the Ocoee massacre was almost totally forgotten, by design. They weren't talked about, and younger generations weren't told about them, neither in school, nor at home. Discussion was harshly discouraged. Within a couple generations, they were mostly forgotten.
