They are 'escorting' members of the press out of the area with their hands behind their backs and, allegedly, zip-tied, *for being members of the press*?!
New rule. If you don't like what the press is showing, arrest the press.

I've got about five years worth of cash/cash equivalents off to the side. Thankfully, my advisor and I saw the writing on the wall and protected me from having to stress this fool.
Good luck everyone.
I'm going to have a glass of wine and catch up on a tv show I'm watching.

The rephrase what you said to be clear
They have observations over opinions
They don’t mind making decisions based on what they know and changing their minds what they know changes
They can name their own weakness without self hate
They want people to do well

Love is an action and a practice and need not be romantic.

The Dad Chronicles
One difficult thing about visiting with Dad for extended time is the change to my movement routine.
I typically walk 4-5 mi/day. Because of where Dad lives, it makes him very nervous/anxious when I go out to walk.
So, I haven’t. Less than 2,000 steps in two days. Sigh.
