    Civil Service is a choice. One you make when you decide: “There is something I want to change and I think I can make a difference to a lot of people who think as I do.” For better or worse as those words might represent. I agree that it was Dick Cheney who was the unbridled evil in that group - but W’s life was not

    US administrations have not been shy about sticking Uncle Sam’s dick into whatever shithole they can find that might turn a buck for some element of their monetary supporters. Those activities obligate us whether we acknowledge it or not to clean up the mess. However, 45's motivations are glass-clear: he’s a racist,

    I was being specific about this “treason” example not being a symbol of dementia or senility. Its something 45 would have done when he was 20 as much as he would do when he was 110 and wearing a diaper for his incontinence while trying to kill himself with KFC and Diet Coke.

    It is not communism or capitalism. Its the unique melange that is Authoritarianism and fascism combined with intense single-party based corruption. Otherwise economic warfare is, historically, China’s preferred kind of warfare.

    When we are talking about nematode (bush) and Hitler’s Faulty Clone (45), we can make a comparison. Bush is certainly the better of those two. By far. However, under no circumstances

    He’s demonstrated it so much that even for me its impossible to *not* see it. Fortunately I’m not a psychologist. Unless you count what I do with AI algorithms, learning systems and machine intelligence. The field of psychology holds some interest to me as we advance things. ore for the humans interacting with the

    His picture will be in the next DSM revision next to the definition.   As a reminder of the responsibility to all associated with the medical field that “Do No Harm” also includes speaking up when harm can be prevented by doing so.  

    I don’t think 45 thinks this will be a political victory.   Brown people are killing brown people.   That’s what gives him a happy.   Ally or enemy, he gives no shit.  They ain’t his color of Orange. 

    You’re making a mistake about 45. You are assuming he can, in any way, shape, or form, identify with anything outside himself. His definition of Treason can only mean personal betrayal of himself. Literally. This is how this man thinks. He does not care or even register the legal or constitutional definitions of such

    I’ve said that before too. The 1967 RNC Convention was a turning point for them. A lot of their grand plan was laid out then. Impoverishing people likely to vote for progressive values, imprisoning them for cheap labor and removing their voting rights, oppressing the growing numbers of minorities - reducing education

    Spread your wings wide and far, Republicans.  Your corruption knows no bounds.  To be fair, there are democrats that would do the same thing, but also to be fair, they are the exception rather than the rule. The entire Republican party has become a morass of Corporatists and Objectivists - intermingled with sociopaths

    Yes. I do. He went out in the second game of the season I believe. And to be honest, I hope he never takes another snap. He is among a handful of players I’ve come to absolutely hate. The rest I don’t mind or actually like - but then again the system that is the NFL is horrible and corrupt.  Not the players but the

    Watching this is like having your gonads dragged through your body and out your mouth. On repeat. This must be how Sisyphus felt.

    Jimmy Carter was the most decent human being to ever be president. But as he pointed out to the people: “I need you to tell me what you want me to do for you.” And the people thought that wasn’t being a leader - but in reality the best leaders always serve first. They don’t have all the answers. They want you to help

    They won’t turn on 45. 45 literally owns them. Mind, body and soul. He’s their ticket to their own personal fiefdoms under a glorious DJT dicktatership. Leader 45 is their messiah and they see their rapture coming. DJT is the Drumpfster pFire that keeps them warm at night. DJT is the source of their desires and wants

    Its too bad the bengals lost to the steelers. I wanted the steelers to win nothing this year. I’d dance a bit if Ben Rothlesberger never took another snap again in his life, unless it was a line drive straight into his unprotected crotch with a steel bowling ball. I say this as a person who grew up in south-western

    Hey, Lets GO!

    We’re playing 5D chess.  45 is playing chutes and ladders with hungry-hungry hippo glued into the center of the board. 

    I’ve had family implode over the years. One of the things you learn - as hard as it is - that you can’t fix other people. You can hold out your hand, and tell them “take it, I’m here to help.” But you can’t force them to take your hand or listen to your words. If they let you, then you can *be* there for them, listen,

    Watching DJT’s reign has been like seeing an accident happening and knowing what is going to come next but being powerless to stop it. You have to come to terms and accept that you did everything you could to prevent it. To me, however, the worst part is the number of family and friends I had to cut off in my life.
