The artist isn't the one who drew or painted a masterpiece and then left; they're the one who simply picked up a pen or brush each day and drew something, over and over, until they found their art. I say your news is great news.

The little one means well, you do have to give him that.

National Guard, who had not actually arrived and had not done anything yet to quell the crisis, actually arrives. (As of about half an hour ago as of when I posted this.)

This should be very disturbing to us all.

President thanks National Guard for their efforts in quelling crisis, and insults Governor and Mayor for their failure and his need to step in.

I would imagine if it were me, I would probably be unemployed, disgraced, and needing to find an entirely new line of work.

I know, crazy, right? /🧵

It feels like, with so much of what I just described being either directly illegal or horrifically negligent, that government officials of any level really ought not do such things.

I also think they shouldn't include reporters without security clearances in said conversations, and I really think none of the people in those conversations should be in Moscow at the time of these conversations. 🧵

The stress and degeneration of our nation hurts, but the betrayal and cognitive dissonance between who we knew and who we now see cuts deeply.

I myself just last night cut off the father of a long time friend, who himself had been someone I trusted and looked up to, and who I respected for years, as he tried to push COVID denialism and right wing conspiracy nonsense in response to legitimate answers to his political questions.

Crap... Crappitty crap crappin' crap crap... Like this administration is going to see anything wrong with an accused SA'er and red pill moron influencer after ELECTING one and practically deputizing another!

It's a start. Call me when he loses a digit.

... I beg the highest of pardons, EBOLA PREVENTION?

So, just to be clear, that is a huge error, not just a mistake or an imperfection. That's a "resign from position" level SNAFU.

We should be demanding that now, I think, even if you think DOGE is good.

Meaning the cruelty and inhumane treatment isn't a bug, it's a feature. Great.

I'd argue that the issue isn't that you started this conversation, as it is you devolved to sexist insults to make your point.

Just so you see what I'm seeing, I'm replying that they aren't talking about Canada or Mexico. Obviously the rest of The American Countries are still in play, but the US is on the wrong side in this now.

One thing I have learned over the years is that you can be a complete moron, and yet still have skills in social conversation. It will carry you to a degree regardless of your actual intelligence, and with power and influence can ever cause people to turn on actual skill to instead favor you.

Canada and Mexico aren't part of the USA, though.

Maybe if we have David Tennant ask that?
