Personally, as a 40+ year IT engineer and a former Judge of Elections in a red PA county, I do not believe we ever actually elected him. At all.

Maybe if she wasn't such an asshole, she could still find work.

Having spent some time in Chicago land, I know you actually mean Lake Shore Drive.

But as an aside, some of my very best, most memorable LSD dosing experiences were in and around Chicago land.

Closest I got was a Grateful Dead Concert in 1987

In a nutshell...

A Cloud Service is just someone else's data center.

SSA doesn't staff the place where the data is. They depend on the one's who run it for the physical security of the data as well as the security patching of the systems where that data is stored.

Wasn't the DNC's data that got hacked in 2016 on AWS? The Podesta phishing success gave RU their access,no?

I can state with 100% certainty that "make busy" work is a hallmark of American military service.

Could it be the lower court didn't so much defy the Supremes, as likely couldn't understand the twisted logic of their opinions?

That was Turd Blossom's go to challenge as well. Remember when Shrub fired a bunch of US Attorneys? They were fired for not participating in this:

Am I way off base here?

Does milking a fantasy in one's head, over and over, lead or contribute to psychopathic behavior?

Back on point:

I don't think the internal conversation we all have with ourselves is given enough meaning (weight) in development of & pervasiveness of mental health conditions.

There is nothing more personal than the crap that plays on tape over & over...in my head. No one gives that up either.

Oh, I remember tiny offshoots related to the shit I'd done 3 decades ago and, yes, sometimes the self anger keeps me up still.

Forgiving myself was the single most difficult person that needed forgiving that I had to forgive.

The 4 agreements.

You couldn't ask for a better opening salvo than the support you get from John G. Cole (balloonjuice.com) or NYTPitchbot

And I'm tickled pink to find you on this platform finally.

It's my observation.

But it's based upon my struggles with addiction 3 decades ago and the role my internal conversation with myself played in the continued hell of addiction.

We talk ourselves into doing stupid things all the time.

Suppression leads to dangerous mindsets, IMHO...

1) Adherents grow up not fully understanding themselves as adults

2) Adherents experience adolescence but get little support through it

3) occasionally, unhealthy sex oriented fantasies take root in an Adherent that become drivers towards violence

Puritanism denies the humanity of sex & sexuality, demonizes it based upon "biblical" traditions (who's bible btw?), adherents wind up growing up believing sex & sexuality are evil & will suppress both to avoid evil.

The problem is that sex & sexuality are inherently in one's personality & mind.

20.08.2025 19:40 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Puritanism is alive and well and as toxic as it ever was, in America. We're obsessed with these reality shows because America has a massive obsession with sex and sexuality largely driven by 15th century religious beliefs that refuse to fade into the background.

Sex and sexuality are human nature.

No

No Fucking Way

Not this cycle

As long as the GOP is hell bent on installing permanent fascist authoritarianism...the ONLY fucking party in America with numbers needed to stop them is the Democrat party.

So, Stopping the GOP is the #1 priority in America.

It is what it is.

So...go away.
