Tardive dyskinesia lingers even after stopping the drug that caused it, though with the newer drugs it is less severe. It seems to be an intractable side effect of these drugs.

Generals are not supposed to give a shit about casualties unless it directly impacts the course of whatever war they're fighting in. Generals who express concern about such things, particularly histrionics about casualties are either acting for their public, or aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing, which is to not give a shit about casualties.

I totally understand if you want to focus on the "RACIST" part of these confederate shitheels, but my favorite part of them all is THEY WERE TRAITORS!!!!! They went to WEST POINT and TOOK VOWS as officers in the US ARMY!!! And then just said "Meh. I'd rather own other humans."

FVCK ALL CONFEDERATE RACIST TRAITORS!!

So I guess, maybe, that Congress could order a state militia to stand down, but in the absence of any Congressional edicts, the state can command the militia. I guess that makes sense.

I'm not sure how much of a genius he was. Yes, he won battles. By sacrificing his men in appalling numbers. But winning battles, contrary to what was taught at West Point at the time he was there, is not how you win wars. Especially not when you have a very limited population to draw your sacrifices from.

It's against the law to punch someone for saying that. I remind myself every time I get a hint of that in a conversation.

I'm one who enjoys a joke in poor taste in a "The Aristocrats" kind of way, but WTF Infowars?(oh, that's right, they were never advocates for the physically challenged and if repubs and Nazis had their way...)

I despise Gregg Abbot. He is, I'm sorry to say, my governor. And yes, he can't stand.

So fuck those idiots. And Fuck Abbott too also.
