EVERYTHING CAUSES A “MENTAL BREAKDOWN” FOR THIS GENERATION

Well, here we go again. A high-profile narcissist videotaping herself “breaking down” over one of the most basic things we do in life as we grow… SAY GOODBYE.

Evidently, Kai Trump HAD to show the entire social media cesspool that she’s “struggling” as she goes to college and says “GOODBYE” to all that has become familiar to her. Are you kidding me? You’ve lived a charmed life bursting with privilege (which is not a bad thing per se) and what you’re really saying is that being coddled for all those years wounded you and the idea that you’ve got to wash your own panties and bring your own car for an oil change is making you mentally unstable.

I can’t take it anymore. Young people are so stupid and entitled. What used to be having feelings about something, or natural “emotions” is now having a “breakdown”. Moreover, a “breakdown” that you must record in order to be seen. Knock it off and put on your big girl panties sister. I’m so embarrassed for you. You have ZERO idea what REAL LIFE is about and if you were honest in your LOOK AT ME self-session and said, “I’m so scared because I’ve been spoiled my whole life and have zero clue how to function among the great unwashed” (us non-rich folk) I’d actually say “hey, there’s an honest rich kid with a real problem”… but instead, you whip up the faux tears for clicks as if we care.

You know what hurts in life KAI? Like REAL hurt… not made-up pain for internet traffic? Burying a parent. Taking the witness stand in your own RAPE trial. Being a homeless alcoholic. Having no income and worrying about how you’ll pay the electric bill. Caring for a parent with Dementia. Getting a phone call that your best friend out of the blue dropped dead.

Ya. Those are real life pains, kid. I pray you’ll never make a “look at me” video about any of that. Ever.

WALK AWAY

“And… if you ever get the chance to treat them the way they treated you…

I hope you CHOOSE to walk away.”

MY FIRST SENIOR DISCOUNT!!!!!!!!

It happened! The other day I strolled into a Walgreens for toothpaste and whatever, and as I checked out the sweet lady says in a gentle tone, “are you over 55, honey?” Most people would have been “OFFENDED” by this question in today’s world, but seeing how I technically should be dead, I said with loud enthusiasm, “I AM”!!! WHY? The kind old lady said, “well honey, today is SENIOR DISCOUNT DAY and you get 20% off every item”! I said fantastic! She then tells me, “Every first Tuesday of the month is senior discount day so if I need Metamucil or Poise pads, to stock up on the first TUESDAY of every month”!!!! This really happened. I mean, I don’t think I LOOK like I need POISE PADS but IDK. Maybe I do in fact… have the “POISE PAD look”. I’m not sure.

Anyway, I lol and thanked the woman and told her I just had to post this on FB. She got a real kick out of that and said to come back next month on a Tuesday, and she’ll get dolled up for a picture with me I can post! I said, “it’s a date”.

She cracked me up… but can you believe it? MY FIRST SENIOR DISCOUNT! Whatever. I’m hell bent on being one groovy granny and living for a long while! HECK, I’m really just getting started!!

As an old timer was known to say once (which is so very true)…

“I have officially reached the age where I am bothered by lights being on, doors left opened, loud noises, AND PEOPLE”

LINDSAY CLANCY 

FORENSIC EXPERT TELLS THE COURT CLANCY GOOGLED “Can you treat a SOCIOPATH” 4 days before killing the KIDS

LINDSAY CLANCY – “I murdered my children”

HER DEFENSE TEAM – “She murdered her children”

THE PROSECUTION – “She murdered her children”

INTERNET WINE MOMS – “She didn’t murder her children”

“The fact that hundreds of thousands of MOTHERS are bending over backward to defend a woman who strangled her THREE YOUNG CHILDREN to death slowly and methodically is a horrifying indictment of how morally bankrupt part of our culture has become in 2026”.
