What would you give for a little peace of mind?
What would you give to leave the past behind?
If it required nothing more than accepting it was so...
Would you give that little willingness?
Could you let it all go?

CBS accelerates the path to fascism, but the Streisand Effect backlash to them bending the knee to Trump, ends up netting $2.5M in campaign donations to Talarico in the first 24 hours.
Stephen Colbert blasted CBS's denial that it blocked the broadcast of his interview with James Talarico,
"I don't even know what to do with this crap." He then pulled a plastic doggy bag from behind his desk, picked up CBS's statement, tied a knot and mimed tossing it before cutting to commercial.

That they will ruin Trump in the process, will just be icing on their cake.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Trust is a belief that someone will respect your boundaries.
When someone tells you they intend to violate those boundaries and complains about your "lack of trust", it just means they aren't capable of understanding the word or respecting boundaries whether you know or not.
