Trump's WH doctor, first term, did that.
Even in another administration, the corruption and control problems would be insurmountable

That is exactly what Musk etc think they are doing. It's worse, because a regular drug addict might try to pull it together for important meetings

The usual problem with ketamine uropathy is he can't hold pee for long (bladder too small)

Did she say whether Trump was sent by God to curse America?

I'm old enough to remember Hillary Clinton warning about Trump's Supreme Court likely appointments and Sanders staffers saying that was "blackmail" somehow

The elite intellectuals are a lot more pedo than the French general public

Tbf Germany did beat the French Empire, also larger than Germany

Building up that right wing media did cost someone money

3 states, each much larger than Germany: British Empire, USSR, USA

this is precisely the argument Labour successfully used to build a welfare state in Great Britain against the arguments of Tories and (some) Liberals who advocated for more private charity: the latter almost inevitably becomes a performative and expiative act

Ketamine abusers often respond to bladder pain by taking more ketamine, vicious cycle

Everyone except liberals already does the friend enemy distinction. Only liberals have learned to sometimes not take their own side in a quarrel

For party & campaign purposes, she should not be. But the Trump administration routinely breaks the Hatch Act otherwise.

It's possible his unvetted troll personnel did some of that on their own account

It might be the scenario said KV-2, not sure

Either way, deciding to fight multiple larger states at once does overrate tactics & maneuver over production numbers

In the game you can watch about 50 shots ping off it every turn, but there's no way to shoot back fast enough

The opposite of Greenwald's approach to hacked DNC or Podesta emails, of course

Down since inauguration tho
But yeah, it's lack of relationship to reality is Musk's biggest financial strength
comment in response to

Good to know and definitely not more pedantic than me.
I once played a Combat Mission scenario called the Iron Roadblock with 1 KV-1 trying to hold back a large German force; apparently some relationship to reality

Not so far, and more importantly Tesla sales are way down

The Tesla boycott is clearly worrying him, though it's the stock price that most immediately affects him

Musk is clearly doing a *lot* of stimulants, just looking at him on video. And he's posted about it. The article mentions Adderall.

On the out of date: at the time of Barbarossa, the KV was the most heavily armored tank in the world; everyone else had to catch up

Says good things about the journalism industry when half-a-year-stale information is finally permitted to be published by an "independent" new outlet only because, I guess, the subject of the reporting is no longer as big of a threat since he's leaving government?

People shouldn't operate motor vehicles or governments while high

Scam organizations based in Myanmar are running a lot of online scams and can probably create more Gaza accounts than anyone. They enslave people & force them to run online & text-message scams.

Probably publishing because Musk criticized Trump's budget, so the NYT continues to serve Trump

In some cases, investigations revealed networks where single individuals operate hundreds of accounts engaging in bulk messaging, identical replies across unrelated conversations, and mass following — behaviors that disrupt the platform experience for all users regardless of the underlying cause.

In any case they are different types of bad (but some Republicans manage to combine grifting & fanaticism) and recognizing the distinction and, if possible, encouraging the conflict, is not yearning for Good Republicans
comment in response to

Better right now; under other conditions a fanatic will commit worse atrocities than a grifter

Oh great, instead of sending fuel we're going to send a whole industrial economy and the people to staff it. They don't get a return ticket of course
comment in response to
post
More like 284 rockets to carry the fuel for the return trip; read the part about the Perseverance Rover👇

comment in response to

The return supplies greatly increase the difficulty because: the fuel to decelerate on return to earth has to be accelerated at the beginning, then decelerated at Mars, then accelerated to leave Mars
Etc, you get the concept
It won't happen regardless

I think the way it's measured & defined is survey questions like "Generally speaking, would you say that most people can be trusted or that you need to be very careful in dealing with people?"

Low-trust people don't trust institutions, only vibes and individual influencers

In the short run they’ll lean on France; once Poland has nuclear reactors I expect them to quietly work on getting 90 days from a bomb
