Friendly amendment:

It's not just to be a dick.

It's also to intimidate into silence anyone else who might come forward to report crimes of the administration.

It's also textbook autocrat. Ask anyone in Russia why they zip it when they see the dirty rubles moving, why they play along. It's because being unemployed and/or endlessly harassed in the courts and/or jailed is exhausting, debilitating, wearying.

That's your future, if stuff like this continues to slide. Everyone's, even.

That's also what the thugs arguing for outing the whistleblower, and encouraging harassment of the witnesses are doing. It's not just petty. It's a method.

Someone who acts like a Republican but registers as a Democrat is not a maverick. They’re just a marketing gimmick for the ultra maroons that’s been given physical form.

Morning all. day off today for a national holiday. I wanted to go to the beach but it’s blowing a hoolie - I can hear my garage door flapping as tho it were a thunder sfx in a school play. Also, I am still in bed but can hear loads of litter is swirling around outside in the alley.

Grr.

What shall I do with myself today now?

I say relax and take it easy. Windy days are not nice to be outside.

When good people won’t embrace you, you seek out the ones who will, like, such as, the right-wing media. Gabbard knows she can’t find acceptance with her own party, so she goes where the water is warm, the money is grifty and terrible opinions are celebrated.
