"Keep On Keepin' On"

If, and I say this knowing the answer already, there is anyone with a shred of integrity left inside the counterintelligence community, THIS IS YOUR SIGNAL TO TAKE ACTION AND DISABLE THIS NONSENSE.

@SundaeDivine @joeflood No one with any common sense or grasp of reality but there’s 20-30 million people out there who believe anything that the guy says.

@thejackhopkins Surprised you would say that when you take the eye off the ball the shit goes down.

They can’t identify the state they live in unless it’s written on the map.

Stateside, a gas station. I drank a frozen blue beverage too quickly, and was struck down by a punishment this entire nation knows, and accepts, and has named.

The drink is called a slush. Ice, sweetness, and a blue that does not occur in nature. The day was hot. I was thirsty. I drank like a soldier at a river.

The pain arrived in my skull like a war horn.

Behind the eyes. Above everything. Total. I gripped the roof of my car. I may have made a sound.

"Brain freeze," said the cashier through the door, with no urgency whatsoever.

It has a NAME. The affliction is so common it has a household name, like a cousin.

"Tongue on the roof of your mouth," called a man at the pumps. He did not look over. He prescribed the remedy mid-pump, casually, the way one mentions weather.

I pressed my tongue to the roof of my mouth. The war horn faded. The healer nodded at his pump, finished, and was gone in a Chevrolet.

In my land, punishment follows crime by way of courts and seasons. Here, the sentence is instant. Drink with greed, and the ice strikes the mind directly. No trial. No appeal. Perfectly fair.

And here is what moves me. EVERYONE has felt it. The cashier. The healer. Children. Elders. An entire nation united by the same small lightning, all taught the same cure, all passing it on to strangers at gas stations, free of charge.

You cannot fully distrust a country once you know it shares one pain.

The freeze does not punish thirst. It punishes haste.

I finished the slush slowly, like a scholar. Blue tongue. Clear mind.

Then at the door I forgot everything, drank deeply, and was struck down again.

"Tongue, hon," said the cashier, without looking up.

Discipline is a journey.

Ebola cases have tripled and it’s getting worse. I’ve covered two outbreaks in my time — both terrifying. It’s disturbingly easy to catch it, and has a 40%-plus death rate. Sometimes families are boarded up in their homes to die untreated. It passes to humans through eating bodies of infected bats, monkeys, antelopes etc — bushmeat.

@ProjectLincoln He’s destroyed the careers of many who were part of his entourage who have had to lie and deceive and cover up for his corruption.

53 years ago this week, 5/17/73, The Watergate Senate Committee held its first public hearing. We had Republicans who were interested in the truth about their leader & his cohorts, many asked difficult questions and did not act like a cult. 5 weeks later John Dean testified and the rest is history.

@atrupar It sucks, but there’s a game that has to be played. This is the world we live in.

Why do they not understand this?

[Dave Troy @davetroy]

It used to be that just the far left and the far right were working for Putin and Xi. Now there are multiple factions within both parties. Keep up — this is going to be even more exhausting otherwise.

@MarcoFoster_ @GratefulKids @JamesCarville Best laugh I’ve had in a while 😂

@TheMaineWonk It just gets weirder and weirder.

@GlobeBobRyan @Hero_OfThe_Day The youngins need to go back and watch how good that team was. Adding Walton and the chemistry they had the best team ever.

@TedDanielnews @bostonradio The circus starts all over again.

You youngins didn’t know Larry Bird moved this nice 😮‍💨

So, it wasn't pedophilia.
It wasn't kidnapping and murdering people off the streets.
It wasn't declaring an illegal war against Iran.
It wasn't bombing and killing students in a school.
It wasn't lying to the country and the world.
It wasn't grifting throughout the universe and enriching family members.
A tipping point for some Trumper/MAGAts is the rising cost of a gallon of gas.
It was the price of gas.
