Got pretty sick, think it was the flu, and it turns out that I'm one of the unlucky few for whom NyQuil has the exact opposite effect than intended. Heightened agitation, increased axiety, and body breaking insomnia. Still pretty wrecked by it. That hateful shit shouldn't be sold over the counter.

I take some small confort in this on the grounds that these men are not brave. They wouldn't be voicing their new found discomfort in even the weakest of terms if they didn't feel the groundswell of their audiences and the general population turning against the fascists.
“I voted for none of this."

Just for reference, it's been estimated that the Great Depression whiped out about 30% of the U.S. GDP. I'm sure it's not relevant.

A profoundly insecure substance prone personality way out of his depth in a high stress environment, surrounded by career military personel that do not respect him or feel he has any right to be there. Got to imagine the Pentagon is awash in uppers. This guy is drowning.

I think it would be hilarious if all the actually good people got raptured, regardless of their religious or lack of religious disposition. Meaning pretty much everyone left of center, with even a shred of empathy. Leaving all the assholes that expect to be raptured fuming, demanding a do over.
