I’m staying at my shitty job because I need money and health insurance, not because I am happy. I have no respect for the management or the union because they’re, respectively, douchebags and cowards.

If anything happens to the Cornell rape survivor, I will blame Michael Tracey. Everything from stalking to threats to freak accidents, to even hangnail. I will blame him.

I’d like to add that I’ve checked the system updates, so everything seems to be in order. I’m baffled and frustrated.

The term “national treasure” gets thrown around, but surely Dolly Parton deserves it. Not only for her music, but as one of the biggest musicians in history, she used to her platform for good. She provided books to kids who needed them, and helped fund COVID vaccine research. We will miss her.

My dad wore a size 14 shoe (US sizing), and when we were at Grauman’s, he had a similar reaction: “Man, John Wayne had little feet. No wonder he walked like that.”

At least 75 career federal officials who’d played important roles in elections have left, been fired or been reassigned. In their place are roughly two dozen people Trump has installed in positions that could affect elections. Ten of them actively worked to reverse the 2020 vote. (Published April)

I am confused. The city didn’t have any money to keep the Bears in the city, but there’s money for the Fire? For what it’s worth, I’m vehemently opposed to taxpayers being on the hook for this nonsense, no matter the sport or team.

Look if you think it’s fine for Trump to corruptly get a red card revoked (or “suspended”) bc FIFA is already corrupt, maybe you understand the MAGA mindset better than you think. “All politicians are corrupt so it’s ok for Trump to be corrupt” is a very common maga rationalization

This could also include playing games in state-level and local elections in a manner I would describe as Putin-esque. All of which leads to those state governments invoking their Article V rights to call a Constitutional Convention. And lest you think I’m paranoid… /4

The worst case scenario that keeps me up at night is this: Too many elections are too close to call, resulting in Trump & his enablers to engage in whatever various deeds they can muster to maintain GOP majorities, possibly even stealing seats to enable veto-proof majorities. /3

In my view, the best case scenario, is that Democrats overwhelmingly win, flipping both Congressional chambers to veto-proof majorities, and get down to the business of providing the necessary checks on Trump’s shenanigans, from his crypto schemes to Nazi brown shirt approach to immigration. /2

There’s something I wanted to add, because I implored you to be specific, I feel obligated to do the same. In my view, the prospect of any sort of collapse hinges on how this year’s midterm election plays out. I’m going to be long winded, so bear with me… /1

Thank you for finally arriving at a coherent argument. I wish you got there without the tantrum. This still doesn’t prove to me that collapse has occurred, but that doesn’t mean anything you’ve listed evades my concern. Also, thanks for the insults, they really show me your maturity.

This is the response of a child: “Everybody else has candy for dinner, why can’t I?” The law is essentially an honor system, and honorable systems only work as long as there are honorable people in the system. I’m certain there’s still a few.

Unfortunately still just as true today as when Oscar Wilde wrote it in 1890.
