There's a LOT of truth here, TFG and his team of corrupt lawyers and corrupt judicial appointments (Roberts, Loose Cannon, 5th circuit...etc) successfully gamed the legal system to delay judicial action which, in a functioning government, would have put TFG and his miscreants in prison long ago.

South Korea was prepared to deal with their dictator because they have better laws, which we will fail to fix here if we keep blaming Garland instead of the system he was bound by. Jack Smith is trying to tell us. We should listen. www.muellershewrote.com/p/between-th...

Between the Lines of Jack Smith's Final Report

The Jack smith report does more than outline Trump's crimes; it lays bare the delays inherent in the system - and if we don’t address them - no AG will be able to hold future despots accountable.

Personally, as a 40+ year IT engineer and a former Judge of Elections in a red PA county, I do not believe we ever actually elected him. At all.

Maybe if she wasn't such an asshole, she could still find work.

He wants to engineer a mass die off.

Having spent some time in Chicago land, I know you actually mean Lake Shore Drive.

But as an aside, some of my very best, most memorable LSD dosing experiences were in and around Chicago land.

Energy is energy. Capture it however you can.

Sand batteries are literally just silos of sand that retain heat exceptionally well -- so well that they can be tied to heat exchange systems to serve as proxy *electrical* batteries. Finland's new model can store enough power (100 MWh) to heat an entire town for a week.

The world's largest sand battery just went live in Finland

Finland has inaugurated an industrial-scale sand battery this week in the southern town of Pornainen, where it'll take over heating duties from an old woodchip power plant for the municipality. It's s...

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

I wanted to be an astronaut.

Closest I got was a Grateful Dead Concert in 1987

In a nutshell...

A Cloud Service is just someone else's data center.

SSA doesn't staff the place where the data is. They depend on the one's who run it for the physical security of the data as well as the security patching of the systems where that data is stored.

Wasn't the DNC's data that got hacked in 2016 on AWS? The Podesta phishing success gave RU their access,no?

I can state with 100% certainty that "make busy" work is a hallmark of American military service.

Could it be the lower court didn't so much defy the Supremes, as likely couldn't understand the twisted logic of their opinions?

That was Turd Blossom's go to challenge as well. Remember when Shrub fired a bunch of US Attorneys? They were fired for not participating in this:

Am I way off base here?

Does milking a fantasy in one's head, over and over, lead or contribute to psychopathic behavior?

Back on point:

I don't think the internal conversation we all have with ourselves is given enough meaning (weight) in development of & pervasiveness of mental health conditions.

There is nothing more personal than the crap that plays on tape over & over...in my head. No one gives that up either.

Oh, I remember tiny offshoots related to the shit I'd done 3 decades ago and, yes, sometimes the self anger keeps me up still.

Forgiving myself was the single most difficult person that needed forgiving that I had to forgive.

The 4 agreements.

You couldn't ask for a better opening salvo than the support you get from John G. Cole (balloonjuice.com) or NYTPitchbot

And I'm tickled pink to find you on this platform finally.

It's my observation.

But it's based upon my struggles with addiction 3 decades ago and the role my internal conversation with myself played in the continued hell of addiction.

We talk ourselves into doing stupid things all the time.

Suppression leads to dangerous mindsets, IMHO...

1) Adherents grow up not fully understanding themselves as adults

2) Adherents experience adolescence but get little support through it

3) occasionally, unhealthy sex oriented fantasies take root in an Adherent that become drivers towards violence
