Some of those people were real. Even so.

Eh. They can’t tell Trump what to do, only nudge and manipulate. Trump has to think it’s his idea.

Vance will do as he’s told.

Explain this. Starting with who. Vance, Thiel, or Trump?

I had guessed by Christmas. He looks terrible. Cankles like that happen when your heart and/or kidneys are in failure. He also acts like a man with stroke defecits. In addition to all the signs of Alzheimer’s, which, unlike dementia, is an additional physical degradation of the brain that can kill you.

If he’s on dialysis, skipping dialysis can easily kill you. Potassium alone can do it. Skip, potassium rises, maybe to 6+, heart attack. The meds that remove that fluid and reduce the size of cankles rely on the kidneys and can damage the kidneys.

Even so. Do not believe for a single second that any of this improves under President Theil, er, Vance.

Solutions would be nice, instead of whatever this spite spewing rage scream is.

In terms of Palestine? I don’t know how you yanked that interpretation out. If it doesn’t change with either party then the only reason to vote Trump is spite, followed by a leopard eating your faces.

In terms of everything else? Yes and no. I do know we would not have:

1. Further rollback of civil liberties of women
2. a tax plan (impending) intended to trap women in marriage
3. brown shirt army stalking people and performing street executions
4. war with Iran
5. gas prices that will continue to rise long after the war with Iran is done
6. A rollback on all solar and wind programs / projects
7. rollback of consumer protections re banks, credit cards, junk fees
8. halt on internet being made an essential utility
9. a tax plan that pushes billionaires toward becoming trillionaires
10. NIOSH gutted, good luck with work safety gear manufactured from here on out
11. Elections being gutted for midterms via the US postal service
12. Speech, now, you can’t even protest Israel without being arrested or booted.
13. Impending collapse of the dollar
14. Cuba
15. All those dead fishermen in South American waters
16. Further privacy erosion in favor of Google, META, Microsoft, etc
17. Disrespect and disenfranchising military vets, like Kelly and all the randomly expelled career generals in an attempt to make the military another brown shirt brigade
18. And I’m sick of listing this crap.

Arguably, 9 & 16 would probably still happen, but in slower subtler ways. The rest? Every spite vote or lack thereof made it happen.

I don’t like our two party system. But unless you have an actual solution that fixes it at the time of an election, then the spite play does indeed hurt all.

I can’t fathom how any of those people thought Trump would consider Palestine anything but a future golf course. It’s been annihilated as a country and a people under Trump.

Entitled men who think they are owed pieces of a woman’s body. Guys who don’t know who they are.

Twice, it was so loud we couldn’t hear anything. Ushers are high school kids, mostly, they’re not going to do anything. Twice the option wasn’t to do anything about it but offer us refunds instead.

Granted, it’s been awhile. I was near to teenager age those 2 times.

People acting like it’s their living room, ignoring all the paying customers around them.

David Sedaris talked about movie culture in France in one of his essays. He described the audience as absolutely silent.

Sounds heavenly.
