Thinking that the gazillions people told me I could save "if you lived here..." were a great big bloody lie, and that the money I spent to live here is WORTH IT ;P

(2/2) for some work she'd done in California that was "controversial", and for being basically "crowned" the Democratic nominee instead of being "primaried". Like, P___ off--if you're waiting for perfection, you had better be immortal, not to mention tireless.

D'you know what it is? we're ALWAYS reaching for some ideal we'll never reach, and those delusional enough to think we'll get it in this lifetime piss me off because they'll jettison EVERYBODY who isn't that ideal. Hillary got dumped because she ran the state department. Kamala, in part, (1/2)

OK, i get it. The hotel had you check out before the morning meeting, the flight is in 7 hours, and there's no bar or mall where you can set up and work. But trusting your company data to a CAR is security losses all around.

And as far as who has the stones? Nobody. Netanyahu would lose his coalition, and his power, for caressing the Palestinians. Meanwhile, Israel, the IOF, and Netanyahu would be sanctioned to hell if they actually did annihilate the Palestinians. Best case? Another flat circle, until he's voted out.

1. Embrace everyone as equal. The religions were all vassals under the Ottomans, but there was peace. Same laws, same peace-keepers, same courts and same rights/jobs
2. Annihilate the troublemakers and exile them. Rome had to do this--Masada marks the furthest any empire has gone to silence Israel.

According to Machiavelli, there are exactly TWO ways to break the cycle and ONLY two. Foreign intervention is played out. "Two-state solution" is a lie. Anything that resets the board to any previous position is a "flat circle treaty". Only TWO solutions have ever worked, long term.

Do what you can to stay hydrated, stay cool, stay sane. Then do what you can to help. That oligarchy at the top? It still needs workers. It still needs us. Despair is valid here...sorrow...wistful longing for a time of sanity, calm leadership, prosperity, and peace...but (4/x)

But they won't, because the people who wrote this, the railroaders who stuffed it through Congress, and the people who got to add whatever they wanted to it, just to get their ashes hauled and their logs rolled, went out of their way.

Be realistic: it's been a VERY long time since anyone had the power to tell him "no" and make it stick--and that basically from Jan 6., 2021, when his "Deus Vult" sent 1500 people to do his bidding and the world didn't so much as slap on the steel bracelets. Such power goes to one's head.

It was the inescapability of it. Like "Macarena" in the 1996-98 years; or the more mediocre Rolling Stones on "Classic Rock" of the 90s and 00s; or how TikTok will run a song into the ground. Repeat anything 500 times and it gets old...
