Patientman Rule Number 69: No DM

Former Boom operator on the KC135Q Yep, done that, been there.
Don't you think that lying to a federal agent should also apply to her 20-year sentence? Anyway, she hasn't got a prayer.

Bill Clinton: “This is our responsibility.”

“We forced Ukraine to give up nuclear weapons, cruise missiles, and strategic bombers.
We promised to protect Ukraine from Russia.
We made Ukraine vulnerable.
So yes — this is our war,” said Bill Clinton.👇

As a temp wor ker, he can be fired. As a temp worker he a custodian of the house, not the owner. His power is extremely limited. The King idea is so off the reservation.

The truth will do more than just stare you in the face. It will demand a higher purpose and shut down the filth of immoral deceptions of others. Stephen Miller may not believe in Jesus, but the meeting is on its way. 🤬

AOC: “President Trump ran on a promise to the American people that ICE would go after the worst of the worst — What we have seen is that ICE is not overwhelmingly going after criminals — In fact, over 70% of people currently detained in detention facilities do not have a criminal record”

“And all we can do right now is pray for the victims, and for those that were very badly hurt.”

The president’s statement is a betrayal of the very purpose of government and a confession of indifference to that purpose.

Nobody should be surprised by the latest horrendous event caused by trumplethinskin.. that is WHO HE IS... a demon from hell. #Reiner
Anyone who is surprised that the pure, crystalline malevolence of Trump's statement regarding the brutal murder of a good man has been living in a cave, or on the dark side of the moon, for the last 40 years. That is who he is, a dark, vicious, malevolent monster.

I don't fully understand why each and every Republican in the house and senate are not replaced due to healthcare debacle.

Republicans are not sociocentric thinking people and only occupy seats in the government for egocentric reasons.

The only plan they have is to get personally richer.

This is why big protests like No Kings are important, even if it can be hard to trace specific effects back to them. Everything is a feedback loop. Silence begets silence, speaking up encourage speaking up.
Two social dynamics make this work: 1️⃣pluralistic ignorance (people privately disagree but think they’re alone) and 2️⃣the spiral of silence (when people think they’re alone, they stay quiet). The quieter most of us are, the more it looks like “everyone” backs illiberal moves.
