I use this to scream into the void. Apologies.
Fair point. I’m glad Oaks didn’t get the top job until he was basically at death’s door for that reason.

The Church doesn’t care as long as IT doesn’t suffer financial ruin. The farmers wanted MAGA, and the church will never risk MAGA people no longer paying tithing.

The engineering hull is too cylindrical to be the D, despite the saucer section. I suspect this is the C.

I had an aunt insist to me that life was better in the eighties when she was a child; everyone got along and things were simple. I, a gay man painfully aware of what happened in the 80s, could only gawk and stare and lose a great deal of respect.

Life was not simpler when you were a kid. You were.

I hate on a level my 2015 self would be frightened of. But it’s a direct outflow of the horror and outrage at the damage done to the people and institutions I once loved.

What I don’t get is both of his administrations leak like a century-old water heater. If he is genuinely ill, why hasn’t it come out? We know every time Miller screams at Noem or gets cucked by Elon. How are they hiding what’s actually wrong with him?

Even when they are achieving victories their fathers could only have dreamed of, it is never enough. They are never happy. They are always being held back, limited, hurt, betrayed. It’s exhausting to be around them, I can’t imagine BEING them.

I get what you mean. But I’m an American. They were elected and/or appointed in American systems. Those are American “men” giving the order, firing American missiles from American boats. I didn’t vote for them, but I and we operate in the system and society that made them. We failed to stop them.

They presume their legitimacy will remain if they never tell Trump no, because there’s no risk that Trump will defy them. They fail to understand that they’re ensuring half the country starts ignoring them because they’re patently corrupt. And half the country is more than one fat old man in DC.

At least we have the patent office.
