As far as I can see it relies on tortuous semantics around the word “elected”. But the reason I think Trump keeps pushing this idea out is to keep his own side from starting to focus on succession manoeuvres (which normally happens in 2nd terms)…

We ALL need to prepare for the gut-wrenching, tortuous pain of losing young people & children to starvation & suicide…
All thanks to Trump & Republicans making poverty a #DeathSentence.

    Phew. Because your original reaction made me really worry I’d over thought this and would just confuse every one. Yay for tortuous self doubt. Such fun.

    I cancelled the NY Times years ago and they offered me $5 per month subscription.  I decided to keep it for a while.  After a few more tortuous Douthat columns, I decided to cancel permanently.  They then offered me a $1 per month subscription.  I didn't do it.

    I don't think it's a false narrative to say he was persecuted, tortured, and driven to suicide for being gay. Your post just feels like needless infighting to me.
I think most people know that what they called "chemical castration" is tortuous and dysphoric, hence the suicide.

    I want to rub, thrust deep and release..
But until I'm needed, throbbing is all I get.
Definitely in the most tortuous cage, not just because it's so tight when aroused but how it's the least fuss/most practical when relaxed.

    I mean, nobody SAID that, that's my own brain, I'm sure for them a day like this is just business as usual and what can anybody do because they're the only clinic in town. I've never been a one to say a doctor needs to do everything, but 2 solid IUIs with a doctor and 1 tortuous one with a nurse...

Finally the tortuous plot is over and the explanations are all looser than a lean-to but it's the friends we made along the way eh! I'd have preferred if the story had finished in Bury Your Dead.

    The naval gazing doesn't have to be so tortuous. Racism is not seeing difference. It is seeing difference and then making (usually negative) value judgments on the basis of it. She said she was sick of seeing blacks and asians in adverts, that it was woke artyfartyness. A value judgment. So, racism.
          
      Straight to ‘let’s have a debate about whether racism is racism’ for *almost* all of the UK media. Nothing learned from the lessons of Brexit, Trump & Johnson. But on we go.
    
        
      Off the top of my head, there have been four egregious examples of weapons grade public racism in the last couple of weeks - Jenrick; the Express hack; Captain Concrete & the Reform woman. The way they are treated by employers, punters & wider media, will directly influence how much more we see.

    John MacDuff, #Presbyterian, contrasts the mind of Jesus with  the “school of the world”. In business there is double-dealing and over-reaching for advantage. If the #church does this, the world sees it. 
How can you unlearn the teachings of school of the world, and be the light of the world?

    Bluesky, help me out... What would you do about a totally fabricated quote attributed to you in a journal article? 
I suspect the author has used GenAI to research their article and it just made this (frankly tortuous) quote up - the article it cites is from 2013! I had no concept of GenAI then.
