"Specialization is for Insects" -Heinlein

Sourced, factual debate is fine, but my drama tolerance?

Zero.
Or there will be a Senate provision to “protect whistleblowers” and that’s how they’ll redact IQ47.

They can’t oust him til after the midterms.

At which time they’ll gladly 25th him, provided he’s still actually alive — the MBS video showed him LAUGHING.

He doesn’t laugh.

Nothing says “he had nothing to do with it” like having a thousand FBI agents working for months to scrub references to him out of the Trumpstein Files.

Chamberlains of business have all bent the knee and all get to learn about appeasement in real time.

Dude rarely smiles and almost never laughs.

Not convinced this isn’t AI and that we are being Weekend At Bernie’s-ed.

I think she wrapped the latest season around 9:30

Probably worth a watch as I could not get two words out of her sans eye roll for that entire time.

In other news the aforementioned crockpot shenanigans are definitely going into the rotation.

Next time, I won't withhold honey: Need to double it!

> Unfortunately, I don't think 13 GOP Senators will betray trump.

Therein lies the crux of the problem, yeah.

It's leaked or nothing with the Republican party voting firmly on party lines.

While I can't trust the Reich to do anything resembling the truth / law and order / etc

The 1st step is at least an attempt to release the Trumpstein Files.

No matter who is in them, may they all go down in flames.

The other thing I've come across lately that speaks to some of what I've gone through is this list regarding "Complex PTSD"

Which *feels* an overblown statement but at the same time it's also shockingly accurate.

Especially:
-Overexplaining
-Overapologizing
-Blanking mid convo
-Alone in a crowd

The lists in the article are accurate, short and long

Neuroticism especially (which I didn't know was a thing but explains a lot)

*Especially* how easily switched into depression with a trigger; A lot of my social anxiety is probably wrapped up in all this.

Not great, but I have words for it now?

The sudden rush to end the shutdown with Democratic Cowardice coincided with a sudden curtailing of the oligarchs' private jet flights.

Totally a coincidence, I'm sure.

"Joe is starting to get it"

I'll believe that when I see it.

He changes opinions on a ~~dime~~ sponsorship check.

IMO any swing from Rogan isn't about the 99% and the truth, it's about "My previous bribe credentials have run out, next one, please!"

Trump can't hold a conversation with his peers, even back then, so we know it wasn't "just talking"

We all know what it was, of course, making the silence by Left-It is all the more telling.

I tick all the boxes and then some, for what it's worth, it was just one of my most awkward interactions in a long while.

Should know if I'm onto the next round this week / early next week.
