@CancerCanuck want to update you on my illness which has turned dire. You’re the only person in my thanks cancer thread who has conversed with me. I’m in hospital with a bowel perforation & infection. Surgical repair is not an option and going in percutaneously to try to drain 1/
Will only yield partial results to possibly delay the onset of full blown sepsis by a week maybe 2-4 but would die then. Or could not delay it at all and could die from it in ~1 week. This all developed so rapidly I’m shell shocked but you’ve been so kind to me, wanted to share2/
Can the @SenateGOP please set aside politics, lift the hold on military promotions , and confirm national security leaders to ensure we have the right people to manage crises?
Reminder that Republicans, at this moment, are holding up the appointment of 300 senior Pentagon officials and the next Ambassador to Israel.
We also lack a Republican Speaker of the House to pass additional support for Israel.
All of these things might be useful right now.
Media: @gtconway3d to @AndersonCooper: #DonaldTrump "is not a very intelligent man, but he does have a reptilian form of intellect that really lends itself to this kind of rhetoric. ... It's something that's difficult for the press to wrestle with, difficult for all of us to wrestle with, because we're not used to confronting evil in the flesh the way we have to now. #Trump basically represents all that you don't want humanity to be. He brings out the worst in people. That is basically his nature, and that is what we're seeing here today as he becomes more and more desperate because his businesses are threatened by litigation in New York and he's facing 91 counts in four different jurisdictions. He is going to foment more hatred and more violence. What psychologists and sociologists call this is 'malignant normality' -- we've gotten so used to his rhetoric, his behavior, that we hesitate to call it out and we don't necessarily see the danger that has crept up on us. But it is profoundly dangerous because if you look back on history and ask how it was that 6 million Jews were killed in Europe in the early 1940s, if you ask how genocide starts, it starts with an evil man using this kind of rhetoric to move and sway and encourage hatred among people."
@KevinMKruse Absolutely and don’t forget Reagan creating an unholy alliance with fundamentalists solely to gain office. But they eventually got what they wanted with Roe
@EvanSowards I can’t watch crucial games in a crowd, too many distractions. Prefer being at home with just a few friends who share my intensity and don’t blather on during play.
