This elected official is unironically having nostalgia for trauma bonding. This CIA shill is evil for suggesting we need more trauma to bond over. She doesn't remember how it was used as an excuse to silence criticism of the wars that followed. Fuck you Senator, you twisted freak.

The trailer for the Elizabeth Holmes doc is hilarious. It's like they put skin on an AI chat bot. The way she scanned Nathan's blank face for a crumb of belief in her claim, the way she, a known scammer, repeats how she has no reason to be deceptive; it's high quality cinema.
