Not sure what “normalize risk” means now that norms aren’t recognized, never mind healthcare is always risky, and stimulation is winked as risqué

seems his clearly written thesis argues the poll and pollster are being cynical and disingenuous, manipulative and propagandistic, with express intentions to gaslight us into kleptocracy…?

Such a misreading is the fault of the poll writers, which is an egregious, unprofessional problem

with all due respect seeing how I know nothing about said pollsters

Brilliant

Isn’t it almost weeks too late though?

Now media is onboard and helping Trump frame it

Maybe if Obama acts today—and GWBush too, he owes us this crumb to break into heaven

Pardon repetitive “is well”

I’m just sending hope for a lot of wellness to you

Post photos, sure; they’re satisfying, moving, entertaining mementos.
But play recordings of speeches to inspire & engage w/substance, vision & direction for ongoing & future actions.

So “early circumcision” is bad—and “late circumcision” is ok?

How late is “late”?
