If there is anything I have learned about my dog is that the 9th minute of a Zoom call really pisses him off. He might wait until later in the call to let me know, but I think that's the one.

I was emailed a newsletter from org that is condemning the "deep state." The logical fractals and jumps needed to make the connections it did were impressive.
It begs, how can anyone "informed" still believe that the "deep state" is anything other than ultra rich protecting other ultra rich?

The incompetent people at the top did not realize this.
Also, they do not realize that, if you treat the people who work for you like shit, then they will not have your back.
And, you'll look even more incompetent.

If they are named after what he called "his own personal Vietnam," then the ships will have names like the USS Gonorrhea or the USS Stage 3 Syphilis.
I am sure soldiers will love to operate a ship named after a draft dodger: it will be great at retreating and never taking blame.

If 20% of the population watches Fox, then the remaining 80% are divided among the dozens of other news programs or nothing.
Being in the lead in this case does not imply you're the best, just alone in your crazy.
Otherwise there would not have been an anti-trust suit against Fox from Newsmax.

If there is one thing I have learned, it is that no matter how much information, knowledge, experience, and comparative expertise one has on a subject, there is always someone who is willing to interrupt you to spout some sort of nonsense and tell you that you're wrong.

After Weinstein and Cosby and countless others, I find it incredible that so many are still in denial that Trump could be one of them.
Even after so many stories and the few Epstein files, there will be deniers.
It means they would have to admit the supported a child rapist.
