A little context. I’m (22M) and I’ve been currently talking to this girl for about a month and I’m conflicted if I should tell her I’m on deferred probation soon or about 3-6 months in. Make a long story, I used to do psychedelics and it ended with me being on probation 7 years but I can get off in 3 1/2 years if I don’t violate it and meet all my requirements. This happened like a year ago and ever since then I don’t do ANY drugs or are around anyone/anything that’ll lead me to violate my probation. It was a big mistake. I’ve been slowly completing my probation requires and have 5 days left of labor detail and still have to start on my community service, which I plan on doing about 2-4 hrs a week. I have my own place, car, job, and am currently building a business which I plan on launching by the end of this year. I have a mentor and business advisor and work on my business nearly everyday and I am very passionate about it and I believe she can tell too or at least is really realizing it (I already told her I’m passionate about my business and just business in general). I take very good care of myself, no kids, masculine, and intelligent. But at the end of the day I feel like once she hears I’m on probation it’s gonna automatically be a no go. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

How Trump Is Killing Off the ‘Reagan Republican’ in Congress

Less than a decade ago, all but a few Republicans in Congress would have taken the title of “Reagan Republican” as a badge of honor.

The 40th president’s “peace through strength” mantra guided decades of GOP philosophy on foreign affairs, with generations of Republicans emulating Ronald Reagan’s vision for modernizing the military and investing in alliances abroad.

But these days, as the GOP remakes itself in the image of Donald Trump, the moniker of “Reagan Republican” is no longer the proud distinction it once was.

It’s more like a MAGA epithet.

For over a year now, Congress has struggled to pass new aid for Ukraine, the war-torn nation dismantling the military of one of the United States’ most hostile enemies. Israel, long considered one of the U. S.’s most important allies, hasn’t received congressionally approved aid in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack either. And Taiwan, staring down surging Chinese aggression, is also waiting on help from Congress.

Not lending a hand to these countries would have once been unthinkable to Reagan’s party. But the growing sect of “America First” Republicans are actively standing in the way. And as that faction stalls aid and U. S. allies suffer, Democrats and the dwindling camp of more hawkish Republicans are watching in disbelief.

“It’s not my father’s Republican Party,” said Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL)—the co-chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus. “My father’s Republican Party was pro-trade, pro-military, and pro-business.”
