Feel like I've been watching Weissman promise me that scandals matter for 10 years now, and he's never been right.
His (many others) false hope in the justice system is our version of Neville Chamberlain.

I was just reading about how Hitler did this a lot, claiming credit for projects from before his time.
A prime example was the Autobahn, started and mostly completed before him.
They showed how he made designs and began projects for thousands of gvmt buildings but only one was ever completed.

He's not trustworthy so we can't believe an event like this is real.
and then he's entirely predictable and over reacts to everything, so he would be easy to manipulate.
He's just a bad leader in every way.

It's perfectly reasonable to assume it was a conservative or MAGA aligned person, as they have been committing nearly all the political violence in recent years.

Did you read the article today about Trump's aging?
They favorably compare him to Biden time and again, suggesting Biden's mistake was the cover up and Trump is being transparent by saying he's doing great.

Just think about how many people are currently being terrorized or held hostage under threat of being turned in to the government.

1) oppressive government policy is always used by bullies and abusers.

I lived for a while with the son of the man who did all the plants for the original Disneyland.
He was an artist and kept really cool gardens at his home.
The funny thing though is he strung speakers all through his planter boxes that played the classical station, on a timer, all day every day.

I used to ditch so much that at the end of my Junior year, I had Saturday school left over that I had to complete in my Senior year.

Their going to get the deal.
Trump and the GOP are flailing, but I think they all agree they will have to extend the subsidies.
The real question is whether the Democrats will give in on the abortion restrictions, but I think they are solid on that.

what we're discovering now is they weren't tired, they were being strategic.
they will get their subsidies, and they will credit while Gop is divided and looking like the bad guys.
