Yes- you know much better than I do. But, when do the judges stop trusting the US Justice Department?
There is decorum and deference, as there should be in normal/historical times. But, we are not in normal times.
The judiciary is handcuffed on the current path = no justice.

Walter Reed kept Storm Thurmond alive to 100+ when he was in his final term as US Senator. He died less than 6 months after returning to South Carolina.
Why do we think they cannot/will not do this to Trump?
The experts are talking about ‘normal’ people.
25th? nope. Cabinet would need nards.

Added $8 Trillion to our debt with his two wars, but particularly Iraq. Trump might exceed this?
~6500 US soldiers killed. 200,000+ civilians killed in Iraq. Nearly 1 million killed in the post 9/11 wars/conflicts.
Really hope Trump does not come close to this. But, who knows?

JFC Horrible humans. They don’t give a single shit about their most loyal supporters.
Dems are hardly doing a great job. But they don’t hate their voters.
I grew up Pentecostal. Most of my family voted for Trump 3 times. I don’t even try. Ugh.

Someone needs to tell him that bluntly. If he is not horrified by that comparison- he is too far gone.
I despise people who slowly weed out the blunt/honest people in their lives.

Then a government backed bankruptcy policy/moral choice.
That is a starting point. Then fill in the gaps over 10-20
Years.
You act like it is impossible. EVERY other advanced country does this.
But- you are an oligarch. God forbid us pleebs are not permanently stressed and stretched.

Drop Medicare down to
55, as Obama Care intended, but was hijacked by Lieberman. He will forever be remembered for ths
Then, every child is covered by Medicaid for 5 years. No means testing- it is automatic
Moms are covered by Medicaid from the moment they are pregnant through 2 years after birth.

The change in solar since 2020 is insane. And extremely encouraging.
In 2020 wind and solar were essentially the same? Why did wind not do the same explosion? I assume bc solar costs are continuing to drop quickly?
Now- in 5 years we need to see gas and coal decline. A lot. Will it happen?

Except for one. I was not on the committee. I was a postdoc at the time. The candidate made up data. Everyone knew it. They still passed. The most uncomfortable defense I have ever sat in on.

Shouldn’t it be as simple as the committee asking questions? Every dissertation committee I have been on leads to a long, fascinating discussion because the candidate did novel work and could talk about it forever and receive any question from the audience with ease. They are the expert.

You are a bad ass. I am sorry shit has been so hard.
Different issue. I am having a fluid mechanics issue that I cannot visualize related to dive medicine. 😜
Is saturated N2 in serum/blood a fluid that exerts pressure. Particularly in the context of saturating into bone.
I need your brain.

Which was worse: Pinto or Corvair? My dad, post divorce from mom, had a Corvair. Was this somehow a flex with the ladies??
In Colorado- as a 7 year old I knew it was dangerous as shit in the snow.
But- explosions are pretty bad.
