I don’t know if this is righteous, but I want him to feel that on a cellular level.

I find Jack Smith intimidating, which gives me an illicit thrill and makes me wonder if I have an as-yet-undiscovered kink. 😂. Or maybe I’m just a patriot. 😁

I really believe that it will, and I don't think this is me being pie-in-the-sky.

Susan,

I do really appreciate these morning therapy sessions, without which I would feel like a wandering and wondering albatross lost over a boiling sea. But alas I have found an island of “ folk who got some damn sense”. Amen, alleluia it ain’t ME!!!

It ain’t. It’s a flurry of under-belly behavior but not on your part.

The former president is probably unembarrassable.

Partly because he's divined a real thing that the general public and so far as I can tell the biggest-megaphone press are uncharmingly oblivious of: Embarrassing and Glorious, Leaderly and Overweening are (at least almost) entirely determined by the much-repeated and oft-farmed commonplaces larges numbers of people are repeating.

This is of course a major part of the bully toolbox: spearheading a sneering group. And, as we see with Trump, an old man can condemn another contemporary for age, a startlingly scattershot man can mock someone much more cogent for dementia.

And this is how Secretary Clinton as well as "the Biden crime family" is Most Corrupt Ever (while lack of even specificity, let alone evidence, is The Sign of Deep-Laid Cunning Fixes). And how it becomes important to point out the imperfections of targets, even while the gaping moral/ethical/legal suppurations of others are not worth talking about, we all know them. And....

The only thing I’ll say is that this group is good at messaging. And that is all.

"This group" meaning your Slack, or Trump and the Shimmying Trumpians?

Trump is going to come after us. DeSantis is going to slit our throats. Quite the unifying message.

How does constantly calling Jack Smith “deranged,” “mentally ill,” and “a sick man,” just for doing his job, constitute free speech?? I had always maintained that mindset “I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,“ but that ended with TFG’s Covid lies and attacks on Dr. Fauci. It was waning during the 2016 election, but this and the not remotely vague online threat cannot be what the Founders imagined needing protection.

“Bloated, spray tanned, walking id ,” on the other hand,is a delightfully apt and truthful description of TFG.
