Why is every detail of this trial being broadcast to every corner of the US? I can understand why a trial involving a well-known celebrity or athlete is closely watched but those are people who are already famous before the incident.

I understand why an incident with a child, or an incident involving torture, or a serial killer is closely watched.

The Charlie Kirk trial makes sense to report on; he was already famous with millions of people following his videos.

In this case, the killer and victim were both broadly unknown to the public. No children involved in the incident, no torture, no serial killer.

We know for a fact that Russia has entire buildings dedicated to interfering with our elections and they've been doing it for at least a decade now.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least to learn that the amoral GOP is doing the same thing. Many other countries could be up to this as well.

Every lefty I know in real life is just opposed to the Trump administration and they don't really care about the fine details of policy.

My entire side left the church, her entire side left the church, many of her friends have left.

I feel like it's the opposite situation of a lot of people posting here.

It's been years and years but she keeps hanging on.

She feels pretty lonely and judged. She feels like a weirdo sometimes. Not because anyone says anything, everyone's nice to her, but there's that invisible barrier there.

I know cults also make you feel that when you're with outsiders too.

We live in Utah so there can be quite a lot of silent animosity between mormons and exmos. If you live here you know what I mean.

I think she can feel everyone waiting with bated breath for her to snap out of it one day.

She's not too intensely mormon or anything, she doesn't want to bother people if they don't want to be bothered about church stuff.

Anyone else in this situation? I would be interested in hearing your stories about it. It's a bit maddening for me sometimes but I'll just keep patiently waiting for now.

Good lord, the tears, the pauses, the whispers. What the fuck is wrong with these people.

Getting choked up over the lard probably "calling" some abusive dentist or lawyer as a bishop is making me want to jam the sharpest of pencils in my ears.

All he needs is sad violin music playing in the background.

Oh, as I'm typing this, now the new bishop is ever so quietly accepting this role on the verge of tears and so much smacking of spit.

Edit: they all have a FULL heart, in case you were wondering. Their hearts are not running on empty.
