You may be right but it doesn't explain why Kurt still smokes cigarettes.
To be fair, I’ve met plenty of people who could kick alcohol, cocaine, even heroin - but they can’t stop smoking. Gives me some respect for the level of difficulty.
Don't recall mentioning lately that I still smoke, but I do, that is correct. Why are we speaking about me in this way here ?
Yeah I've kicked alcohol and cocaine, never did heroin. Those two I just reached a point and said no more. Couldn't even think about coke today, let alone much of anything else anymore with all the Fentanyl in everything. It is affecting coke so much that I just heard somewhere that Columbia for the first time ever has a huge surplus sitting around because demand has measurably fallen out of fear of not getting the real thing.
Tobacco. Since age 15 roughly. Shit. Quit three of four times, all cold turkey. 12 years once. Just tried the patch about two months ago at the same time I started my IVIg infusions. It was actually working until I broke out in crazy rashes. Yeah, I've also got Stage IV cancer. Toss in advancing COPD, too. Makes me a real dumb fuck, right ?
So Kcar, have you ever smoked ? Or are you a former user ? If neither then you have no idea in hell what you are talking about. If a former smoker, how did you quit ?
What highly addictive drugs have you used and how did you kick them, if you did ?
Nicotine is the most addictive substance I know of. It is both physical and mental and when you get down to it, it is indeed more mental than physical which makes it so tough to quit.. Problem is it is legal and the government make billions and billion in tax dollars off of the back of us junkies. And absolutely zero dollars of that tax money goes to benefit the smoker. It would 100% pay for the health care of smokers with a whole bunch left over. But no, fuck the junkies, they deserve all the misery that comes with it, right ?
If picking on me regarding personal habits is how you deal with my politics now, then you can politely simply go fuck yourself. Or better yet, go play frogger on I 95.
Granted but there are other ways to get that nicotine fixâgum, patches, vapingâthat quite likely reduce the risk of encouraging the return of cancer/s in an immunosuppressed person.

Quit cold turkey in 2009 after 30+ years. My oldest brother is 72, has emphysema and still goes through 2 packs a day. Go figure.

Well, during this latest run and watching his rallies, I've been pretty much waiting to see his head explode before my eyes for a very long time now.
Finally happened, almost. I am very surprised it took this long for someone to actually take a shot at him.
I know you're all disappointed that no MAGA's went out and rioted as has been repeatedly predicted would happen if something like this actually took place.
It takes guts and courage to go out and speak in public waiting and wondering when the day like last Saturday would finally come.
Has to be somewhat similar to waiting for your cancer to come back. Just waiting and wondering when it was going to happen. You hear the ticking of the clock in the back of your mind. Then once it happens and you live to tell about it, the prospect of it happening again is not as scarry as was the first time. Or maybe it's just me.
Although a bit grandiose, this does help to explain the fear you live with constantly.

On Wednesday, Trump posted on Truth Social an image of him raising a fist after the assassination, juxtaposed with three photos of Biden stumbling on jet stairs. âTRUMP VS BULLET,â it said, and âBIDEN VS STAIRS.â By then, Trump allies at the GOP convention had called Democrats âjackals,â âcorrupt,â âfeckless,â âevilâ and âMarxistsâ who tried to kill Trump. (The failed assassin was a registered Republican, and authorities have found no evidence of a political motive.)
Ah, the warm courage of national unity.
Hulk Hogan ended his convention address by saying: âAll you criminals, all you lowlifes, all you scumbags ⦠and all you crooked politicians need to answer one question, brother: What you going to do when Donald Trump and all the Trump-a-maniacs run wild on you?
But Trump being Trump, can't but help himself to bend reality into something that he feels puts him in a better (perhaps more "heroic) light with his MAGA groupies. To be expected though given his history.

So that is what you have reduced this assassination attempt down to ?
Good to know.
Had he not decided to ad lib, it would have been a successful assassination, not an attempt.
Kotex sales must be going through the roof...
Monkey see, monkey do!
Trump is still a felon, rapist, suspected pedophile, failed insurrectionist, obsessive-compulsive liar and longtime conman owing $500+ million in civil judgments.
Was god on the side of the guy that was killed too? If god was on your side shouldn't have intervened a few minutes earlier? Does your god have less foresight than the police who had identified this guy as a threat, or simply have the same or less power to act than they did?
God has a plan for us all.
The insanity/irony of Trump's "religious" support and commentary is confounding. Trump might be good for 2 of the 10 commandments... on a good day.
