Every day, we lose an estimated 22 veterans to suicide. That is not a statistic we can accept. If you or a veteran you know is struggling, call or text 988 and press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line.

The most important thing to remember about all this fantasy-engineering of the Constitution is Madison's warning: If we suck as a people, no clever constitutional schemes will save us.

Pundits and experts who try to understand him & anticipate what he might do in the future need to focus on this personality trait that drives all of his decisions. He is one of the worst narcissists we have had in history. Everything is about him & how he wants people to see him. Very predictable.

The proper term is "less lethal" as in, less likely to kill, but can still kill. Critical to know for training. There is no weapon or use of force technique that is "less than" lethal as minor wrestling, holding, pushing, or grabbing certain people can result in the death of either party involved.

Didn't he say this the last time and it turned out not to be true? Tesla recalls, exploding Space-X rockets, Twitter down, and someone doesn't really understand that business and government are very different things. Yes, let this guy run the federal government. What could possibly go wrong?

If Baer asked, "So he has a higher IQ than you?" Trump would say: "No" Trump is such a narcissist that he can't be told anyone is smarter or better than him. If the media went on about Elon being smarter than Trump, that would end the relationship. Narcissists hate anyone better than them.

All of his previous falling outs have come about because someone was smarter, more of an expert, or more competent than him. To the extreme narcissist, this is unforgivable. They don't think anyone else. Their insecurities destroy any relationship w/ anyone who might be better than them in any way.

Nobody will listen to this because it seems ridiculous, but: The best way to break a relationship between Trump and anyone is to use his narcissistic personality disorder. A front page NYT article & a few media outlets saying that Elon is "much smarter" than Trump would do it.

Satos are great dogs, and yours reminds me a lot of our last. Our girl was named Tai (pronounced like tie) by the woman who found her in PR. Our last trip to the shelter to pick up just one Sato ended up with two dogs - couldn't separate the sisters. Isabella (AKA Izzy) & Mariana
