So this is what passes for statesmanship in the Oval Office in 2025.

Good news! My “ruthless compartmentalization to the point of dissociation” has passed right on through to “really fucking pissed off.” Better late than never, eh?
I’m a little worried about how calm I am. I fear that my “ruthless compartmentalization” skill, which has allowed me to function in times of stress, has crossed over to outright dissociation. 😳

Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
