I’m not sure why, there is free speech, and speech appropriate for a therapy session. They don’t overlap completely. She may be exercising her right to free speech, but she’s violating her professional oath to “first do no harm”.

Leavitt is almost as bad a liar as Bondi.

That’s not elitist nor closed-minded. We do go to college there on occasion. What can part-time soldiers teach us we don’t already know?

We certainly have this year. We’ve been in a drought lately.

Something about removing the log in your own eye before talking about the spec in someone else’s comes to mind. Don’t these people even pretend to know the man they worship?

Is he one of Watters’s staff?

Yes it would, since it was already going on before the shutdown.

Bullshit.

Things have really gone to Hell when I agree with Peggy Noonan in the last 10 years or so.

Maybe, but not enough.

That comment, if real, is sufficient evidence to invoke the 25th amendment, or impeach on the grounds of mental incompetence.

You wouldn’t say that if you have ever been in production support. Murphy’s law was only half right.

Don’t cut yourself short. He survived being three.

He’s also dead wrong. He has no concept of the history of what the Federalist Society has done.

Followed by Russ Vought. Start with them, then remove the cabinet and Trump is left flapping in the wind. He can’t *do* any of this himself.

But in production, criticality trumps all else every time. Although, those four original factors do contribute.

Tell Stephen Miller he can come and enforce the order himself, in person. Then we’ll see how big he talks.

Nope. The number one factor is how inconvenient a failure will be when it happens. When will it fail? What will be the cost to recover? How critical is the system that fails?

Is Seattle close enough to Canada to count?

Let ‘em. It’ll just piss us off more and lead to their downfall faster.

Finger paint and a raccoon is a worse combination than finger paint and a three year old, but only a little.

Rich men deserve far more criticism than they get, especially Larry Ellison. Every time I deal with Oracle I feel like I have to wash my hands. That kind of rot starts at the top.

Van Jones on Maher said this was the result of algorithms that decided you are on one side or the other and make your SM feed support that. While your neighbor got sent to the other side and their feed is very different. Set your phones side by side and compare. This isn’t us, it’s the algorithms.

Unmarked, masked agents in an unmarked car start the event for no reason. Looks like a terrorist attack. How do we know they were ICE, or is that just an assumption? Until they identify themselves, shooting back is just standing your ground.

Levitt, Vance, Johnson, and a few others need to go read their Bible (future tense is deliberate-they haven’t read it yet). Then we can talk about healthcare for immigrants.

One, they’re bike lanes, and two, why not? We subsidize drilling for oil.
